I can't agree with this one - after his 2 defeats all half decent heavyweights with a bit of ambition would be queuing up to fight him.
Where?

That Polish (or was he Slovakian) cruiserweight that kept breaking everyone's jaw - he hasn't been active for awhile - avoided fighters tend to stay avoided nowadays in such a way you never hear of them again - such a shame.

I'm not specifically talking about Frampton or Quigg - I mean others like Liegh Wood, Michael Maguire or Thomas Ward who wouldn't go anywhere near him.

:roll: Leigh Wood and Kid Galahad are stablemates and came up through the amateurs together and arent even currently campaigning in the same division anyhow, and also Leigh is recovering from an operation.

Do you know Leigh? If so, when's he due back? Looked good early on against McDonnell

Ive not spoken to him in the last few weeks, but im sure when he had his op he said he was hoping to be out again around christmas.

Hes a far more talented boxer than McDonnell but he found out the hard way that Super Bantamweight wasnt the correct weight for him, he said he made the weigh easily but felt extremely weak on the night against mcdonnell and knew by the end of round 2 that he wouldnt be able to complete the 12 rounds.

I expect him to become British feathweight champion during 2015

That's a fair claim, tough division.

Selby and Warrington are now past domestic scene, looking at the boxrec rankings, hes beaten 2 of the top 5 ranked already, leaving just Hughes, who id handily go for Leigh in that.

Boxrec rankings arent all that matters of course, the likes of Quigley, Mouneimne and Walsh are probably also likely to be eyeing the British. I dont see anyone else who even comes into the equation, not seen Tennyson box yet so maybe i cant discount him although he did lose to senkovs. Slowey i dont think is capable of being involved.
