Cook sounds very likely.

As it seems FW doesn't know what to do with Cookie.

130 pounds will suit Cook more than it does Arthur.

And to denegrate Leuveno just because he fought a draw is laughable, the kid can fight.

Yeah, Luevano is still growing into his title & can get better.

And where did I "denegrate" Luevano then? I was pointing out a fact - I had him losing.

You mocked Cook's form line because the bloke that beat him had just drawn. Implying strongly that the draw showed Lueveno was nothing special and Cook worse still by comparison and therefore a joke opponent for Arthur.

The joke remark was that Cook was a natural 126lb fighter, and it further goes to underline Fwank's consitant size mismatches.

I know what you mean in theat respect Diouf.

Though I'd argue Cook is a big bugga for Featherweight - though I've seen him rattled by Super-Bantams before.

I remember first setting eyes on him when he was being touted as the new ricky hatton, injuries and bad managment have resulted ina stagnant career really.

Arthur and Cook are quite similar fighters. Should make for a good fight. Both are big for their weights, both are stiff backed and maybe not as versatile as ppl would like to think they are. Their physical strength and body punching has taken them to the fringes of world class, but they're lacking in that extra dimension.

Luevano broke Cook down very well - a nice, accomplished performance showing a lot of promise. Had to take some hurtful body shots from a brave Cook, but paid him back, wore him down and went home with the belt...I've not exactly been blown away by Luevano since, but perhaps he can keep on improving.
