Why because just by looking at his recent fight with Eric Hunter,Lee Selby clearly won the fight & won most of the rounds,but Hunter was able to hurt Selby,even dropping him in the 2nd round.An Hunter was a huge underdog in that fight & was able to hurt Selby several times,I take nothing away from Selby his a very good fighter,but I believe soon are later,somebody might be able to take his crown.Lee Selby can easily be hurt,by any good shot and i also don't believe he can handle much power are pressure.

Have thought the same for a while although he could just be one one of those guys that fights at an opponents level, lets see how he does when he's faced a proper quality fighter and then we will know for sure

He's an enigma. Not a great puncher but he is one of those who raises his game when the opposition is up there.

He HAS to fight the winner of Santa Cruz v Frampton. If it's Frampton that's a great fight for Belfast or Cardiff.

Apparently his brother Andrew is the more gifted of the two.....

I'd like to see him fight Gary Russell Jnr.

He's as chicken-hearted as Santa Cruz... He refused to fight Lomachenko and Russell. At some point Lee or Leo has to fight Russell.

There's a lot of good world champions at featherweight and I wouldn't say any were weak champions.

He needs a big fight so it's easier to gauge were he's at.

His brother Andrew is the better of the two. Always has been. Seems they're moving him along quickly too.
sure he fought the african flyweight champion on his debut, and won British flyweight title in his 5th fight.
27 years old. Currently 5-0.

I feel he struggles to get out of 2nd gear sometimes. I think he is superb when he is really on it.

You have just shown this forum you tell lies. He is not chicken-hearted, he has not refused those fights. Your posts need to be taken with a pinch of salt.
