PS Howard Eastman went the traditional route picking up British, Commonwealth and European titles, as well as fighting world class americans in America for world titles. Hardly the FW route, is it?

Eastman could of picked up a WBO interim belt too, or picked up the 'real thing' battering Armand Kranjc or Hector Velazco. Would you then consider him a world champ like you do Macca and the FW shower of shite?

Because of his insistance that his awful WBO interim belt in a half empty sports hall was 'a genuine title winning fight' up there with Buchanan bumping off Laguna in the sweltering Puerto Rican heat.

Because of misleading comments such as 'i'll be undisputed WBO champ as soon as Guzman vacates' instead of a more David Haye approach like 'i wont feel like a champ til i knock out Guzman'.

Using the word undisputed in the same sentence as his WBO belt, and avoding talk of fighting any of the big name fighters and struggling with Steve Foster are all good reasons to resent Arthur calling himself a champ.

Eastman fought for the paper WBA title against Joppy too so he's hardly any better least Arthur Isn't too lazy to try to win and would never stoop to losing to journymen like Duddy If he was a Middleweight.

Didn't try enough against world class Americans either.

Yeah the WBO Interim Is paper title but he went the traditional route to fight for It and wasn't a WBU champ and trying to take the full WBO title against Guzman who's a top 3 SFW. So he Is fighting a real deal top 3 SFW.

Yes If he's full WBO champ, he's a world champ and Guzman's considered a world champ holding the full WBO title so why not?

JC will show Eastman how you give Hopkins the beating he deserves.

Lol we're talking about Duddy now? Cool, lets see what results Arthur can score when hes 37 years old.

Fair enough, you equate Arthur fighting Kokowhateverhisnamewas and Steve Foster Jr in small Scottish halls for interim WBO belts the same as Eastman fighting Joppy and Hopkins in the US.

There's no point entering into any further debate with a man in that kind of bizarre mindstate.

If Arthur wins I wonder if he'll claim he has unified like Sam Peter did?

Hes already been quoted as saying he'd be 'undisputed WBO champ' once Guzman moved up.
