That Polish (or was he Slovakian) cruiserweight that kept breaking everyone's jaw - he hasn't been active for awhile - avoided fighters tend to stay avoided nowadays in such a way you never hear of them again - such a shame.

I'm not specifically talking about Frampton or Quigg - I mean others like Liegh Wood, Michael Maguire or Thomas Ward who wouldn't go anywhere near him.

Do you know Leigh? If so, when's he due back? Looked good early on against McDonnellLooking On wrote:Crease wrote:I agree with what some of the others have already said, I think that Kid Galahad is avoided by other British fighters.

Leigh Wood and Kid Galahad are stablemates and came up through the amateurs together and arent even currently campaigning in the same division anyhow, and also Leigh is recovering from an operation.

Hes a far more talented boxer than McDonnell but he found out the hard way that Super Bantamweight wasnt the correct weight for him, he said he made the weigh easily but felt extremely weak on the night against mcdonnell and knew by the end of round 2 that he wouldnt be able to complete the 12 rounds.
I expect him to become British feathweight champion during 2015

Re: Most Avoided Fighter in the Domestic Scene?
Selby and Warrington are now past domestic scene, looking at the boxrec rankings, hes beaten 2 of the top 5 ranked already, leaving just Hughes, who id handily go for Leigh in that.DazDiCanio wrote:That's a fair claim, tough division.Looking On wrote:

Boxrec rankings arent all that matters of course, the likes of Quigley, Mouneimne and Walsh are probably also likely to be eyeing the British. I dont see anyone else who even comes into the equation, not seen Tennyson box yet so maybe i cant discount him although he did lose to senkovs. Slowey i dont think is capable of being involved.
