Very talented but Frank hasn't got him as far as I would have liked at this point. 2014 is a big year for him.

I agree mate. At the moment his talent is being wasted somewhat I think.

The title explained nothing and then you just posted a link.

This is unacceptable.

Frankie is a nightmare for anyone in the world. I think his skills are outstanding. We need to see his level of opposition step up now...no need to rush it...but he needs testing and being put into uncomfortable situations. But he has no need to fear anyone at the moment.

No need to rush it? He's been a pro for 5 years and yet hasn't tested himself above domestic level. All good and well proving to be great against domestic opponents but for someone as highly touted as he is his progression has been snail paced.

Whilst I'm no Amir Khan fan Khan had, within 5 years of his debut, claimed a victory over Barrera, beaten Kotelnik for a world title and defended it against Malignaggi. I think we'd all agree that Frankie has more natural talent than Khan so why is he still treading water? This should be sink or swim time.

Khan's more naturally talented in my opinion.

I think it's good news for his career as many have flight end off elsewhere which makes him more as a pioneer for franks promotions, he's been getting matched well against a good quality of calibre opponents in witter, Barnes,vassel etc picking up rounds & expieriance & is getting brought along & built nicely imo & has settled back in the brum.
He's a amateur legend & rightly so but I feel he gets a lot of smoke blown up his rear & gets over hyped in terms of people over rating him at pro level. I think he could claim a title at the right time but is no dead cert & is with the right man to guide him there

Signing with Frank is a good move IMO. I say in this current climate he is the best UK promoter to be with as he is up against it so will deliver for his fighters more than ever

He's the worst thread starter on BoxRec.

I was merely stating the truth that you are the worst thread starter on BoxRec.

It's still a personal insult Horse. You're breaking the very rules they you expect other people to adhere so much so follow your own advice :TU:

I can't decide who's at fault for his slow progression. Frankie can't seem to get motivated for poor opponents provided by fwank but at same time in that link says he's happy with him and he's been brilliant for his career.

6 years on from the Olympics he's calling out Khan and Brook but fighting on undercards in leisure centres 200 miles away from brimingham. It's like they have no plan at all and are happy just ambling along
