Yori Boy Campos held the IBF Light Middleweight title from 1997 to 1998. He has held a few alphabet titles since.

Could be tough.

Name opponent who is well past his best. Was considered past it by some way back when The golden boy beat him. Good scalp on his resume if he gets the win.

Yeah, but can't imagine 6ft Sherro @ 72kgs. I wouldn't part with as much as a spit to make weight for frigging WBF belt

Six feet and 11 stone six pounds. Don't mix systems.

How tall was Carlos Monzon? Within half an inch of six feet. He never had trouble making middleweight. Hopkins claims to be 6'1" and was middleweight at his ten year peak.

I think he will make the weight. How he performs at the weight remains to be be seen. He was a big super middle weight. Da voice if Les wins this he will be two weight world champ. :lol:

No, but Argentinians are big meat eaters. Carlos was the best in a golden era of middleweights.

There's not many soft Mexicans getting around. He's got to be on the downslide at 40 and with something like 120 fights though.

Yeah, but he's not a bloke who falls over easily. He'll come to win not just to see the sights. Could be a good fight.

Yep, they usually come to win and have a good go.

I was a bit disappointed in that bloke Lascierva but having seen Dib live, including that night, a couple of times it could be that the Mexican was just outclassed. Still, I thought Jorge didn't quite give it his all. Maybe I am being harsh but having paid my fifty bucks I am allowed an opinion, even as a stinking pommy turd, surely.
