http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_ ... &cat=boxer .......Ko'd Steven Mullins, Chris Long and Dean Phillips, lost to Tyrone Nurse am guessing that according to your way of thinking that Damien Owen is untested ..... possibly even a journeyman!
Chris Long has a poor record,Phillips was long past his best&Mullins was knocked out by Thorpe in his first fight(checked that one out) He needs to step up&fight someone with half a chance,i doubt he will beat a top 10 uk fighter...Be loved to be proven wrong tho
Nadeem Siddique's first 19 fights were against fighters with losing records – I gave him plenty of stick because he had/has talent. Opponent no. 17 was Jason Nesbitt for the third time. First opponent with a winning record was Tom Glover (4-1-2), the second was Alex Brew who dropped Sid before being knocked out and the third was Martin Gethin who ended his unbeaten record. Fourth and last was Glover again who beat Sid by DQ. This isn't to say Nadeem was always bound to lose to good fighters, more that his being fed so many soft touches did not equip him sufficiently for the stern changes when they came. If he'd been tested earlier and got more rounds he might have won those contests he lost – he'd never been beyond 55 secs of round seven and the two he lost, one was at the end of the seventh and one at the close of the ninth. He faded late on both times after starting well.
And Vinny Mitchell is 12-1 all against opponents with losing records and has fought four opponents twice. Again, Vinny may not be as good as his brother but he isn't terrible either.

And they took Damien after he had about 2 years out and he still gave them a bit of a shock

With the exception of Lee Purdy, he's not fought anyone of any real substance. I'm not saying he's protected. Maybe he's difficult to match, but his record is definately 'padded'.
