Darren Corbett - should be at Super Middle,

Glenn Cateley - I still think he is too small for Super Middle,

Gary Locket - Get a nutritionist in.

Kevin Bennett - If some of the reports are true.

Wayne McCoullough.
Did anyone notice that during the Williams - Sprott fight last week the camera showed McDermott & Warren sitting together and Ian Darke said theres Warrens HW prospect John McDermott who suffered an unfortunate ankle injury in his last fight.

Whats Darkie talking about, McDermott got KTFO.

By the look of him he has been spending more time in Greggs than in the gym.

Richard Williams
Scott Harrison
Jason Cook
Kevin Bennet

Locketts got massive legs... fact of life, he cannot do light middle and be a 12 round fighter, i think the same is true for Rhodes too!! Big legs!!

Joe Calzaghe and Hatton are fine, they can routinely do 12 hard rounds

LOL yeah I thought that. Obviously SN haven't lost faith in McDermott but it was a pretty worrying showing last time, injury or no injury.

Wayne Alexander getting messed about by Sportsnetworks to secure him a WBO title shot, and sending him up to Middleweight. He probably could box at middleweight (then again he declined Mick Hennessy's offer to box Eastman) but his natural weight at that time was light middle. All that messing about, gave up his European light middleweight crown and then decides he should be back at lightmiddle ! And to top it off, comes back and gets stopped by Delroy Mellis.

A lesson about sticking to your weight division in there somewhere.

Jacko,
The pressure to go to middle was from a certain Mr Warren, not the gym.
The money was too good to turn down.
The rest is history, as they say.
