Talk is that Alex Arthur is going to face Robbie Peden in an IBF world title eliminator.
This is a fight that Arthur should win, Peden is a decent opperater, and has been the distance with Barrera in his last fight, but Arthur would be to good all round for Peden IMO.

I heard that. I reckon it's a decent step up and a recognisable name before he takes the plunge and takes on a Barrios or Guzman.

Well luckily, that will probably be for a while - cause the Peden route will lead to Baloyi.

Arthur by KO!

If it's true then Warren's getting us the genuine titles like Ian Mc Neilly complained about to him.

I think this is a tough fight for Arthur, Peden is pretty useful. I wouldn't be surprised if Peden decisioned him.

Don't be too suprised if Pedan Ko's him, he can whack

very true - just ask The Galaxy Warrior!

14 ko's out of 25 wins Peden has so not so sure about that.

dont read too much into raw stats mate - people on here were trying to say Mutley couldnt bang before his last two fights based on his KO%!

Nate Campbell offered Penden his chin and was put out cold. Campbell can fight and isnt thought of as chinny.

I'd make Peden a slight favourite in this, possibly 50/50 if the fight is over here which I guess it would be.

Peden is 32 though and as I can testify you're fucked at that age.

If this fight happens I think Arthur has a wonderful chance to pick up a world title belt, especially if at home.

Peden is tough, there is no doubt about that, but compared to some of the monsters Triple A might have had to face at world level at that weight in the last decade or so, Peden is a relatively risk free assignment!

Peden was famously savagely beaten in his sleep a few years ago - poor bloke had nightmares for years.

Arthur might go on to win a world title but this one is an IBF eliminator. He would still have to fight Cassius Baloyi in a title fight. Thats by no means an easy assignment, Baloyi just TKO'd Medina in 11 rounds on the 3 knockdown rule.

Dang! Miss read it and thought this one was for the bauble.

Anyone who can stop even an ancient Medina must be respected.. I remember his thriller with N'Dou - a real fight of the year candidate.

Medina was apparently outboxing Baloyi so maybe the guys mostly a puncher.
