Can he do anything at light-middle?

He can get in the domestic mix, as long as the desire is there. He is 5' 11" so the extra weight should go on ok, 26 years old so plenty of time to build back up to championship class. Working with Jimmy and Mark Tibbs is great, and should bring him on as well.

The light-middles are not overly packed with talent on the domestic front, Rhodes, Rose and Arron are the leading boxers. If John still has his talents then i can't see why he won't be mixing it with them sooner rather than later.

Hopefully the Tibbs get O'Donnell to use his non exsistent jab

I remember when he turned pro quite of lot of respected people rated him more highly than Amir and Kell.

I'd forgotten all about him til i read this thread!

It is good to hear that he is coming back to the ring, he has got some good skills, quick hands and reasonable power but prone to brawling too much and like Diggler I would like to see him use his jab to dictate fights more.
