WHO WINS? Rocky Fielding vs. Jamie Cox

[jamamb]

id like to see it.

imo one of the forums underrated fighters vs one of the more overrated. if cox won it would do a lot to legitimize his record and place in the smw mix

and of course cox is ahead in the poll right now (13-12)

[wesshaw1985]

[Boxerbeetle]

I like that attitude

[PredatorHayds]

Fielding beats him.

I see Fielding having more power AND being the better boxer.

[jamamb]

tell me ppl, which 3 fights of cox should i watch that show these abilities that fielding couldnt cope with

[horndawg80]

Jamie will wipe the floor with Rocky!

[horndawg80]

More boxing ability? Jamie boxed for England!!

[samwbr]

Rocky from Stocky ko's him.

[bripez]

Rocky from Stocky ko's him.

There's only one way to find out.

Fielding doesn't have either the personality or fighting style to be given the opportunity he wants - he should make a statement by beating Cox and then he would have a much better case for a shot.

[jamamb]

ya beating a guy whose beat no one would prove a lot

'ya mate, fielding finally proved he deserved a big fight on the world scene, because he beat jamie cox, an 11 year pro who has wins over lewis taylor and obodai sai. cox also went 3.5 rounds with groves before being ko'd'

seriously man! hes less proven then dave brophy

Yeah but apparently that Groves body shot would have stopped most heavyweights...

[Stuarty]

Decent fight. Both are euro level competitors and in all honestly probably won't ever make any noise on the world scene. I think Fielding has the tools to pick off and stop a marauding Cox late in a good battle. Hope it happens but it doesn't seem Fielding is too keen. Says he wants a shot at a title but all the champions are more or less tied up so he could do a lot worse than agree to this fight.

He wants Zeuge for the WBA 'Regular' or Mohoumadi for the European.
Both should be easy enough to make.

Wouldn't hurt Cox to go in with a David Brophy next to get back to winning ways...

[Marlo Stanfield]

Why has Rocky become so entitled all of a sudden?! Saw him moaning about DeGale getting a title shot ahead of him the other day

[jamamb]

zeague for the wba regular or mouhamadi for the ebu make sense. cox on the other hand dont get him anywhere he hasnt already been. why on earth would he want a cox like career of non progression?

100% agreed. Cox hasn’t exactly earned a British title shot but Fielding certainly hasn’t earned a world title gig either. Unless Fielding can get a shot at the European then it’s a decent move for him. Would be a decent fight to watch and both men would have a chance. Fielding stops Cox for me and neither are world class but it’s a very decent British title fight

How would beating Cox help make a case for a shot?

Ryder and Brophy are more proven than Cox.

[jamamb]

so was blackledge and rebrasse

heck, beating brian vera tops any win of cox

coxs best win is like fielding beating carl dilks or wayne reed, though fielding actually showed power and won by stoppage in those

but cox only needs to do 1/3 of what other fighters do to get even more praise

[keirw]

Indeed, Cox may well be a better fighter than Fielding (Fielding is nothing special after all) but until he pays his dues at domestic level, like Fielding and others have, he should not get another title shot.

Not that I'm having a dig, I enjoyed his fight with Groves and look forward to seeing him fight again.

But guys like Fielding and Ryder should get title shots before him now, unless he picks up a good win or two.

I think your spot on that’s exactly why Jamie wants this fight Jamie has always been willing to take these fights

It's easy to look at a record and form opinions. I've saw enough of him to hazard a guess he's more than capable of competing with euro level guys at 168. Mohameddi the euro champion isn't any great shakes. Then you have guys like Rebrasses, Yildrim, Feigenbutz etc.... Cox is capable of competing and even beating these guys in my opinion. World level? Nah I can't see him ever getting anywhere near that level but he's a decent domestic/Euro level competitor.

[jamamb]

which fights did he show you he was euro level. maybe i need to check those again.

all those guys have fought an won at a higher level btw. im sure theyd look far more dominant vs fragile journeymen and english title level mws.

[Stuarty]

which fights did he show you he was euro level

His quality of opposition hasn't been great so I can't really go by specific fight apart from his performance against Groves. He showed there he's capable of compete ting even though he was dispatched but there's no shame in that as Groves is world level. You think the guys I mentioned beat him easy and it wouldn't be competitive? Not in my opinion. I'm not a fan of Cox and was happy Groves KO'd him but he can fight a bit.

In all honesty he should be campaigning at 160 though.

[wesshaw1985]

could be happening on the Bellew vs. Haye card...
