Scott Quigg's next fight against Franklin Varela has been made a world title eliminator for WBA belt held by Akifumi Shimoda. Credit to Hatton he is getting a lot of his fighters world title shots and against true champions, unlike Warren's paper champions. I think he would have a good chance against Shimoda, but im not sure he'll have title for long because Rico Ramos is challenging him next week and i doubt Quigg would be able to beat Ramos

Aint seen Akifumi Shimoda but looking at his record he beat Ryol Li Lee had him over a few times, Ryol Li Lee beat Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym UD 118-110 115-113 115-114.. How do people think Quigg with do against Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym?

Maybe Poonsawat should be looking at an alphabet title with a name like that. He'd win hands down

Whoever wins the eliminator will be getting a shot at a relatively weak champ. Good opportunity for Quigg.

Quigg done nothing to earn any shot at World title. Munroe not really getting much of a push with the Hattons!

Iv met quigg and got his autograph,but to be honest if you look at his record it all looks padded,not one person has a decent record on it..i can predict the fight before it happens because of it..quigg will beat this next push over easy.

What about his fight with jason booth will it happen now he got this fight.

I watched Quigg train a few weeks back and the guy is an animal. He really is a class act and i think he can go a long way. I definately think he should fight Jason Booth next before trying to move onto the world scene.

I honestly do think he'll come good in 2012

Weak champion? Shimoda is pretty solid, Ramos is no mug either. Also Rigondeaux has to fight the winner of Shimoda-Ramos before anyone else. So it's not going to be potentially a gimme for Quigg.

it's a tough division, he would be better fighting a few guys like Booth or Martinez maybe for the European title to prepare himself for a world title shot. The gulf in class between what he's beaten and the guys who are world champions at 122 is huge.

I not said weak world champions I saying he not done anything to be ranked this high!

I said weak champion, and Shimoda/Ramos would definitely fit that bill imo. Didn't know the winner had to fight Rigo though, and he definitely aint a weak champ.

What I am told is that despite this being an eliminator, Scott will still box for the British title against Booth before going for a world title.

Would you consider Shimoda/Ramos a gimme for Quigg to win the title?

No, but Quigg would have a better chance against one of them than he would against most champions.
