I’d forgotten about Romeo Romaeo, looked up some of his fights on YouTube last night and lots of comments saying his dad was secretly feeding him PEDs from when he was a small child?!?

He moved up a weight to fight the bigger Mark Heffron for the British title. Heffron was 21-0 with 17KO's and the favourite.
His last fight was an eliminator against a 6ft 5in American

Heffron turned out to be bum of the year, Williams was huge at light middle so it was no bother to him at all moving up, most of his fights before the 2 Smith fights he feasted on blown up welterweights like the other heffron brother he fought

For me a hyped fighter is a fighter people shout loudly about, whereas Williams has gone under the radar. Maybe because he doesn't have the film star looks or has got the talk but I thought he was very unlucky against Smith and is in fact quite underrated. I think he is def fringe world class and good enough to win a strap.

I wouldn't say he's gone under the radar, before the 2 Smith fights he started getting coverage on the TV and was spoke very highly of, he was unlucky in the first Smith fight but in the 2nd he was beaten fair and square, since then hes gone back to fighting probably even worse opponents than he did before Smith, only thing now is he is the same size as his mediocre opposition, he has a lot of fan boys on social media that make out he is some elite level fighter so again that's not really under the radar either, I just don't see how so many people seem to think he is destined to win a middle weight world title when the only name on his record is Smith and he lost to him twice?

Maybe because he showed he was as good as Smith and Smith was good enough to get a strap. I think he has improved since too.
I don't have any social media so all that goes over my head!

He came across as a complete twat in the build up to the heffron fight too , I really can't see how he's gonna win a world title , everyone keeps sayin how he's improved since the 2 Smith fights but the opponent's he's faced since then have been even worse than all the bums he ploughed through at light middle weight, heffron looked like he'd never been in a ring before in his life in their fight and then the next guy he fought after that smoking Joe or whatever he's called looked like one of these guys that has signed up for a one off charity fight how can anyone guage if he has improved fighting the likes of that dross

I don't see him beating Canelo, BJS either, but winning a vacant strap against Smith again or Eubanks would be quite possible

It was a good result though, looking beastly at 160, interested to see how he looks at a higher level

So you said. And they were all half his size. Including 6ft 5in Atlantez Fox (the guy who had put Andrade on the canvas).

bennie wrote: ↑11 May 2020, 06:48 Not sure if he's been mentioned but Gloucester's Johnny Melfah was seriously hyped prior to a shot at the British middleweight title back in the day against Herol "Bomber" Graham. Sadly for Melfah, he was outclassed and stopped in five rounds.
