European champion Leonard Bundu

is the dark horse in today's red hot shark infested welterweight division, he is super strong, teek tuff, in great condition and has always found a way to win so far in his unbeaten career, I think he beats frankie Gavin all day long , upsets the likes of Paulie, soto karass , and maybe even a not fired up Judah. Your thoughts?

Wasn't far enough, I don't know why he hasn't bothered trying to get in a mandatory position for a world title fight.

Maybe the promoter he's with doesnt have much pull! Seems a strange one though.

Don't let expe hear you say that. He'd have you believe Bundu thrashed Purdy from pillar to post for 12 rounds.......

Of course Purdy causes people problems, when he's on his weight he's a decent, tough and powerful fighter. It's not as though it'd be easy for anyone to get in with him and not be hit. Purdy was well up for it v Bundu and had his spells; to be fair to Bundu he always seemed to have things in hand and had a couple of answers for anything Lee tried. A look at Bundu's record shows he is a solid European level fighter. For all his talent and class Frankie has been pushed himself.

Purdy took a couple of the middle rounds after Bundu came out at a fast pace and found Purdy still there after 4 or 5 rounds, which were all pretty close, after Bundu made a few adjustments, he started to pick Purdy off, mainly with well drilled 3 and 4 punch combinations, all very accurate and Purdy did start to take a beating towards the end, because he didn't change and carried on standing in front of Bundu.

He's 39, since he has 2 draws on his record, he hasn't always found a way to win and you could say that Gavin has always found a way to win as well, although Woodhouse was the only fighter who's forced him out of his comfort zone so far. Don't think he beats Paulie or Judah though, Gavin will beat him comfortably and Soto Karass is a long way from being a top fighter, although Bundu should beat him.

Beat him and beat him well? Are we talking about the same Frankie Gavin here? I haven't been impressed with Gavin's pro carrer so far, he was getting touted as the British Parnell Whitaker when he turned pro, but alls I have seen is a fighter who blows hot and cold and has struggled in fights he shouldn't of broke a sweat in, also Gavin has stamina and fitness issue's and is a flabby welterweight who should be at light welter, Bundu beats him all day

The only fight he's struggled in was against Woodhouse, apart from that one he's won every fight with ease. What fitness issues? There's questions over strength, power and whether he's at the right weight, but Curtis forced him to fight at a fast pace while he wasn't in great shape and he matched him all the way, since then his diets improved and he's training properly. You're judging a fight purely on physical capabilities, physicality isn't how the fight will be won, Frankie is the better boxer by far and Bundu can't match him in that department.
