Frankie Gavin

[HomeOfBritishBoxing]

Homeofbritishnobbing probably thinks that

im not the type to bum upto boxers online and try and be pally with them jbacca just ask that kunt paul smith, your the type that bums up to all the liverpudlian boxers on here arnt you bacca? smigga how about you try fighting a top super middleweight instead of fighting a middleweight ranked about 15th, man up

First things first, Frankie is levels ahead of Curtis and he knows that, He's calling out Frankie cos it's simple, He NEEDS Frankie where as Frankie doesn't need him.. FACT.Curtis is getting great exposure just by being linked with Frankie. Curtis has done great seeing as he was only kicking a football a few years ago BUT let it be known that you can't compare with a fighter like Frankie who has been mastering the game his whole life, If this fight is made he'll see exactly what Im talking about. He thinks sparring good guys will help?? They same guys would take his head off if they put anything into there shots. 8oz Reyes on and this fight is over before it has even begun.


Also HOBB, I think you'll find that Paul Smith fought probably the biggest super middleweight in the country when he took on Tony Dodson, He also took on another fair sized fella in Quigley, It should also be known that McDermott is a very big middle so in terms of size I think it's always Paul fighting bigger guys bar Quigley..imo

tony i did not say anything about him not fighting smw's previously but the mcdermott fight is a joke IMO

[Undefeated]

I think Woodhoiuse can do well against FG. FG gets hoit a lit too much and if CW hit him ehough he could mark him up/cut him etc.


CW has improved a lot. Gavin may have the better career ahead, ut NOW, it's a good fight!

Mate your more than entitled to your opinion but it should be known that fighters fight, managers manage, promoters promote and matchmakers match.. This is the business were in..

U must not watch my fights cause I don't get hit that much an only had cuts from heads an Curtis had too improve he was terrible an if u watch Him when he gets hit he ducks down he don't know wat to do

[Counter-puncher]

You need to take a good luck at my career pal, I've had virtually zero exposure, Any I've had has been very minimal.. Also what your saying is wrong, Curtis is not saying Im gonna win or anything of the kind, He has tried from day 1 to berate Frankie and purposefully wind him up, Calling him from ringside and also the rat calling stuff too?? Frankie didn't open his mouth to Curtis but he did reply, He's give his views and said he'd deal with him without any problems.. Now regardless of the name calling going on between them we all know that Frankie would take Curtis to pieces.. Getting exposure off the back of another fighter is not the end of the world if the fighter doing the calling out actually has a realistic chance of winning, Which we all know Curtis hasn't..

Well that is my 10 pencew worth..

fair enough Tony, thanks for the reply and obviously i don't know who said what in the he-said she-said scheme of things, i don't have a problem with boxers calling each other out but the namecalling and all that looks terrible.

and you're right of course just because I see you on boxrec doesn't mean you've had some sort of huge exposure so as far as your own case is concerned yes, it wasn't a good comparison for me to have made, but in Frankie's case i think its true he's had much more exposure than Woodhouse.

I still think though, that its a bit off criticising someone for chasing a fight (well, as long as the chasing was done in the right way anyway) that was already made once. yes Frankie's ahead of Curtis in terms of current and future levels but he's a prospect and all prospects fight basically inferior fighters coming up, i don't see any problem then with inferior fighters calling them out and having their day in the sun so to speak.

as far as your own career goes you seem very careful to be respectful, and not to try talking out of turn and I respect that greatly in you and I think many boxers could learn from you in terms of 'PR' and the way they present themselves, both Frankie and Curtis would fit in there IMO.

at the end of the day though if 'lower' rated fighters couldn't chase the 'higher'-rated ones nobody would ever progress, everyone has to step up in levels sometime.

[Bomber 1]

You speak a lot of sense mate, The reasons Frankie is given so much exposure is cos he has done something that no one else is this country has been able to do and some great fighters have really tried..

I don't think that what Curtis is doing is a crime, he's getting his name out whatever way he can and good luck to him I really mean that, I've met him and he's an alright fella.. As for frankie, The kid is like a younger brother to me so seeing him getting called all kinds kinda winds me up a little regardless of wether there a fighter or just someone with an opinion, I should let it go over my head but sometimes I can't.. Especially when Im dieting and training like a lunatic.. D

Regards to them fighting each other, I'll be honest I think it's a mismatch but if it sells then so be it, Frankie is the most gifted fighter in this country he really is and for a guy with no amateur experience to fight him is crazy. yes there 2 different sports but the concept is the same, Knock the $hit out of someone without them doing it to you, Frankie is the best at this.. Curtis will be better off fighting the likes of Peter McDonugh and learning his trade, The british title is his ceiling while the likes of Gavin won't be happy with anything less than a world title..

[Counter-puncher]

class as ever Tony

all I'll add, personally i do think Frankie's as good as advertised, and if I were Curtis, British title ceiling or not, I'd want to fight him simply because he is that good and one day I could say I'd been in the ring with him, outclassed or not

Good way of looking at it mate, Me personally I wanna keep my looks... The tiny bit I have..

See ya soon mate..

I think Woodhoiuse can do well against FG. FG gets hoit a lit too much and if CW hit him ehough he could mark him up/cut him etc.


CW has improved a lot. Gavin may have the better career ahead, ut NOW, it's a good fight!

Admittedly I have not 'studied' you in depth, but its a good fight now. As said you will have the better career, but as of now, before you really make the big push, this is a decent figth, imo.

In terms of experience you have it from the amateurs, but I just think right now its a better fitght for you than a journeyman type AND a better fight for the fans of the sport. I personall;y want to see this fight before you move on.

FG vs CW is a decent match at this stage.

Hey Frankie when you're experiencec enough do you think you'll be good enough to compete with the likes of Khan,Bradley,Alexander,etc?

[Arnie]

Hes not gonna say no is

[Crease]

If Gavin is going to make a big impact on the Professional scene I'd like to seem him do it within the next 3 years.

[hurlock]

is gavin a traveller???

tony bellew must have the biggest mouth in british boxing :!: DD

he should be called the liverpool echo :!:

all love bomber, you are well & trully crazy :!: you give arl purple nightmares

[lefty]

Hes not gonna say no is

Fair point,il take that as a no then!

[Frankie Gavin]

In 3 years I should be an believe I will be on the verge of a world title

[Arnie]

Within 2 years he should b there

[Gray-Fox]

It's not difficult in this climate to be a world champion. Although FG is the best overall fighter in this country atm.

[lefty]

In frank warrens weekly column a few weeks back he was talking about the possible 140 tournament and he said its a shame that its not a year later for you!I get the feeling that Frank thinks you might be ready for the top dogs in even less than 3 years.You agree with that or do you think you'll need 3 years like you said?

[palooka]

allegedly would probably be pretty happy if one of his fighters got a World Title and then defended against 'soft' opposition; (there have been examples). Frankie probably needs a bit more seasoning than 2 years; to win a title and defend against his mandatories and be a World Champ respected by boxing fans. Not all champs are the same or looked up to the same.

[Magichands]

dont forget about me funtime

can i ask what gavin will find in you what he hasnt in 300 other's??
i.e what have you got to beat him.

Well if wright goes for daws next then me u could fight for English an I hope u know ur gonna get knocked out

No but i dont understand his purpose for saying it otherwise!He could of just said nothing at all on it!

[markp]

gavin is a nasty piece of work and i hope i don't get banned for saying so and having an opinion.

the guy came on here before and called another poster a "prik" (spelling classes might be needed). He has an attitude and thinks he can say what he likes to people and do what he wants. Didn't work too well for him in the olympics when he got sent home on his tod for not making weight. this guy has a bully mentality and will crumble once it is put up to him bigtime. il always be cheering his opponent on because of his attitude and we see it in this thread. being an arrogant tosser to woodhouse who merely asked him "don't forget about me mate!". frankie replies, "i hope you know you are getting knocked out". it's just uncalled for on a forum but he has that mentality.

[Craig14]

I can't believe you would get banned for having an opinion -surely thats what this forums all about!! It's quite clicky on here sometimes and people do get heated but I think it's brilliant that all the pro's and the boxing fans can interact!!!! I love how many boxers there are on here aswell!

On the Frankie Gavin-Curtis Woodhouse argument though I agree Curtis would win the personality contest and if the fight does happen I'll be cheering for him aswell! But love him or hate him Frankie Gavin is class in a boxing ring!!!
