This is crazy Calderon is a hall of fame type of fighter whereas McDermott has achieved what do deserve such an illustrious comparision???

It’s......... English champ after 9 months.

Your point being? What's that got to do with what i said?

When would Arroyo have to fight Calderon to make it the equivalent of Tyson Fury fighting McDermott within 9 months.

Can Arroyo beat Calderon by August 2011? (18 months).

It will NEVER be a valid comparision because Ivan Calderon is a hall of famer who has had a fantastic career who's unbeaten and a 2 weight world champion. How can you even mention an overweight Heavyweight like McDermott in the same sentance as Calderon. McDermott has lost his last 4 fights and his greatest achievement is winning the English title. The two are poles apart.

Prepare to be countered with a link to a YouTube vid of a Melanesian courtship ritual and/or a black and white pic of some bloke with a heavy moustache whispering to a dog.

Fury isn't very good and I was very surprised he beat McDermott.

If he can live the life though, who knows?

That is the question though Ian. A cousin of Fury's has told me (ooh, hark at me with the inside info!), more than once, that the lad has a lot of ability, that he believes in him. He's also bemoaned the fact that he won't get into proper shape. I don't think anyone has him down as the next Lewis, but if you're going to fight, why put yourself at a disadvantage?

Well said....

Sparring cousins and pals is not the way to move on to a British or Euro title....

Should have stayed with Hughes, stayed disciplined and moved on from there...

Is it fair to say his family's huge involvement in his career is holding him back?

States is the one with the inside info it seems 8)

But going on the inside info I have...yes.

He's got some talent and has the right build. That is all. There are quite a few others like him. Chisora, Tom Dallas, Olebamewo. ALl these are brit level guys who with the right dedication could POTENTIALLY win british/euro titles. I don't see any of those names ever being world class or getting world belts. Price has the amateur pedigree and should go further than all of them, but he has had very little to test him yet, who knows how he might react to someone with genuine KO power tagging him in the pros.
