Why didn't he stay at heavy? He was going places imho.
Big mistake dropping two stone , looked as weak as a kitten

it seems prizefighter convinced Dolan and burton to step down. i can maybe understand dolan who's a small 6ft but definately not burton's decision

I was amazed when I heard of Chris' decision to step down. He must be about 6' 5" and he walks around at over 16st.

I saw him ten days ago and he said he was feeling great. But yesterday morning he told me the last half stone completely did him in - even the jabs were hurting him.

He could still make a dent at heavy, domestically, IMO.

At 6'5 you would think it was always a strange move to try cruiser. Ah well he tried it, it failed, back to heavy and go again!

Looking forward to hearing how he's feeling "stronger than ever" back at HW.

The Dickenson brothers looked superb, especally the one who blitzed Paul David...how often do you see that.

They can play a major part in the British title picture soon.

Travis is a big puncher but has McIntosh, McKenzie and Ajisafe to deal with (Clev and Bellew are too good at the moment). Ajisafe would be a good fight in the near future. I really rate Travis but he has quite a hottish division to deal with, mind you his power is capable of taking out any of those names

John-Lewis v Askin is an excellent fight, the winner of that is the best Cruiser in the country, I reckon Dickinson wins on points against Askin.

I think travis looking very dangerous ATM he will be very avoided, he'd stop ajisafe now, commonwealth title fight should be next IMHO , if Dodson and the previous guy got a crack why not him? Prizefighter champion and just kod David who is a decent operator
