It’s whatever makes sense for them.

How to keep the ‘0’ in tact.

Its a joke his already lost so keeping the 0 isnt a option he then pulled out against mould and some how then gets a European title shot as mandatory. How does that work.

That’s harsh.
But right now, you’re pretty much right - he'd be ruined at World Level. If he wins a few at Euro Level and improves..
He’ll probably still get ruined !

But it’s not a certainty that he’ll never win a belt, like you’re saying.

It's rumoured he's joined Warrington and Gill with the ducking.

Galahad used to toy with Gill (& Wood for that matter) in sparring. Unless it’s purse bids or a huge pay day Coldwell isn’t going to put Gill in with Galahad.

Why would Isaac Lowe turn it down? For Gavin McDonnell?

There isn't much on the IBF list for Galahad to fight unless they offer it to Lara.

I reckon Hearn be better take Galahad to US and try the unifications as soon as possible.

Who would you put Galahad in with next? Doubt Warrington would take it either

Lara deserves the Galahad fight when he's available, as for Gill and Lowe, wouldn't mind them in with each other but in world title fights?? Piss poor

Quite possible Lara Galahad happening when he recovers, even as a blocker as it appears Warrington mightn't want it

Be interesting though who Galahad and Warrington fight next this year? Not much available out there and doubt they fight each other

Wonder would Josh move up to super feather?

No chance he’ll fight Warrington. I reckon that would be an outdoor show next summer if they did it.

My guess is they’ll offer a bit more until they get a domestic foe in the opposite corner. It’s tricky because I don’t think Galahad will sell well in Sheffield so my guess is Hearn isn’t going to want to pay for a quality opponent.

I’ve read posts from Leigh Wood about fighting Galahad next summer at the City ground. In my opinion that’s ridiculous. I don’t think it would come close to selling out the Nottingham arena.

I think they all need Warrington or a pay day in the States against Santa Cruz or Navarette as they aren’t big enough names to get a good pay day against each other.

Would Coldwell put Gill in with Galahad in a wrestling match in their shorts and with the temperature turned up to the mid 80s? I reckon yes.

You should never turn down a world title fight, I can't see Gill getting another chance.

Exactly, I like Galahad but he's hardly Beterbiev, would've been a brilliant opportunity for Gill, as for Lowe, turned down the Walsh rematch for the British content to box in the afternoon in America on Fury undercards where nobody's watching, now he's turning down World title fights to chase Gavin McDonnell?

And Galahad is nothing special in world title standards, if he won't take Galahad, who will he take?

I don’t blame Caldwell tbh.
Steriod Kid would likely batter Gill- it’s better to bide his time and hope for an easier shot down the line.

Is Lowe on the coming Fury undercard who is promoting him?

Leigh Wood and Galahad aren't going to build much more profile on DAZN either. Wood will fight his rematch then probably Conlan in Belfast.

Galahad Navarette would be the big one and the Ring belt on the line, they removed Russell jr for inactivity today. Navrarette has fight scheduled.

If Lowe and Gill turned it down, I just checked the IBF rankings Ryan Walsh is 14th
