It'd be a good fight between Quigg and Galahad. I'd just favour Quigg. Frampton is a level above.

Thought he looked great tonight. Also, I was thinking he'd give Quigg some real trouble too.

Looks good but still seems to lack the big power which makes all the difference at the very top level.

I personally don't think he is ready for Quigg or Frampton just yet, but he isn't far off.
He looked good last night but I don't think he should switch to southpaw so much as he is far more effective in the orthodox stance.

Extra, extra read all about it !
Quality fighter calls out his nearest rivals.
What do you expect him to do Flynn ?
Go on the mike and see I think I'm second best ?
Get a life.
Right now I think Barry would beat Quigg.
Frampton ? Not sure but what I do know is a hell of a lot closer than people think.
Styles make fights.
So Frampton will not face him.

I agree with this. When he had the other kid in trouble he seemed to lack the ability to fire out really spiteful punches.

Galahad does a lot very well.

He's not as quick as Frampton, and not as big and Powerful as Quigg, but he seems more fluid than both and doesnt seem to be lacking much.

Whether he has the X factor tomake it big at the top level is still to be seen but i believe he's only 1 or 2 fights away from entering the conversation.

He was good last night,dominant,a couple of class knockdowns,a good nights work

I dont think he's ready for any of the big guns yet though,why is Mick Hennesey in such a rush?

His previous 3 fights until last night were all for vacant belts against ok opposition,Dickens for the British,Prado for the European then Mundraby for the Commonwealth,he's defintely got all the hallmarks of a great fighter but he should be making a few defences of his European or Commonwealth belts that he still owns,to get that experience that Frampton and Quigg has

Even fight a former titlist or challenger but dont throw him in to the wolves too soon,it seemed Dominic and Woodhall were saying he was ready for a title shot because they were on the spot and channel 5 do have a knack for getting excited from mediocre performances(not inc last nights fight)

Terrific talent but still too green

Thing is there is nothing for those titles available hence why the opponents he fought for them were really poor. Jazza Dickens is still his toughest fight by miles. Not his fault though and last night was a late replacement as well. He should have been fighting Quigg but it's obvious Hearn sees it as too much of a risk. Just needs to keep improving his fan base and fight guys in the top 10 of the organisations to improve his rankings and test him.

Regarding all these fighters fighting each other, TV contracts are the stumbling block - the boxers would all fight each other tomorrow, if it was that easy

I have Frampton slightly ahead of KG but KG would beat Quigg IMO

Did what he was supposed to last night, the Brazilian kid could of bailed out but showed heart to get through to the end.
Still think Galahad needs a couple more tests before Quigg or Frampton. But if a great offer came through he'd take it to fight them now.
If I was Quigg or Frampton I'd fight Galahad sooner rather than later.
I would pick both to beat Galahad at this point, but give the Sheffield boxer another good year and it might change.

I dont think he would get close to either Quigg or Frampton. Now or ever, decent skills but a lack of a punch will mean that he doesnt get any further than European.

Quigg needs to show he is at that level his team says he is at. We can evaluate Galahad later and compare. Frampton is hands down the best, completely different level to the three of them.

You obviously didn't hear about his spar with Quigg.

Did you hear about Groves flooring Golovkin? It doesn't pay to listen to gossip.

Sparring is sparring.

I think that Barry could do with a few good European-level opponents to defend that title of his. Maybe a couple of fights against Jeromy Parodi & Stephane Jamoye could be good tune-ups for him. The Kid is doing well, I just wouldn't rush it too quickly. A couple of home fights against these sort of guys would be the further boosts he would need to gain in popularity and confidence.

Tyson Fury has spoken publicly about watching them spar. It's not gossip.

In all honesty he's a talented boxer though. I think he'll go far, I just don't think that he is ready to mix with the likes of Quigg, Frampton or Santa Cruz just yet.
