why did Rhodes pull out?

Nelson, then Harrison and now Rhodes. The BBBC should do something. Its happening too much and pissing me off. How are ITV going to get casual viewers intersted if this crap keeps on occuring in the build up to fights.

Anyone know Rhodes excuse? Stubbed toe or broken nail?

Trapped nerve or something like that. Not enough nerve some would say

Pelvic/back injury.

Supposedly OK in a month or two and Lockett said that was the fight he wanted next so let's see.

Back injuries are incredibly difficult to prove/disprove - not that I think Rhodes is a shirker at all.

But a legion of lazy, sicky taking workers will testify that a bad back is one of the safest routes to go down.

Rhodes is one of the only money fights in the UK for Gary. I think he should go after Richard Williams, as I'm pretty sure he will take the British title away from Dann.

Mouthwatering prospect Williams v Lockett!!

I would not think that Richard Williams would want the WBU?.

At least Lennox - Naz - RJJ had the IBO. WBU?.. proper rubbish belt..

Would be a great fight though!

Thanks JJJ! - I don't always go on the stats on here as I know that some have been wrong ...

Lockett looked shorted than 5'10'' -
