Should Takaloo go back to Light Middle

He's clearly been at high as Middle so whats he doing at Welterweight?

Well thats what a good nutritionalist can do for you.

He's coming off a career best win (if not a career best performance) so I think he should stick around at Welter for a while. There some decent domestic fights for him, that are fairly easy to arrange.

The likes of Minter, Jennings, Mutley, McNeil etc would be easy enough to sort out.

World stage he's pretty much fecked whoever he fights. Out of all of the champions at 147 and 154 the most likely chance of success would come vs Margarito. It is a very slim chance, but it would be interesting to see Margarito in with someone who is not dwarfed by him.

If he is finding Welter too tough to make, then obviously he should consider a move back up. But no indications of this so far.

Should fight Anderson too.

What would Alexander be like against Margo?

Margarito looks to have an excellent chin and superior work rate to Wayne.

Wayne is a big Light Middleweight, and I cannot see Margarito fighting at 154 for some time, as the money is at Welterweight. Margarito is not that hard to hit but is very strong and sturdy. I'd probably give Wayne a better chance here than vs the current 154 champions - but he'd still be a massive dog.

Aye, he should fight Anderson, cause the wee man would give Tak a hiding. Muttley would also be too much for Tak, although I think he'd beat Jennings, etc. His height would give Anderson trouble to start with but once the wee man started to roll he'd KO Tak.

Good luck to Takaloo at 147lbs, he's "been there, done that" at 154lbs and to be honest I'm not really interested in his exploits there, as he has operated at light middle for most of his career, but there are more interesting opportunities at 147lbs and he's a good addition to the domestic and european ranks. His fight against Jennings would have been a good scrap, and I hope it gets rearranged.

Tak would be probably have too much for Ando at this moment.

Look what Mutt was doing to him until he was stopped.

Yes, but Mutley didn't finish the job. Anderson deserves massive credit for that performance. I'd back him against Takaloo, who hasn't really impressed since moving to welterweight.

Aye fair enough Muttley may have been winning on points (just) but he got K.O'D, the same would happen to Tak.

Tak's natural size and experiance at this time though would probably win it for him. Maybe when Ando's had more fights he'd win it.

Disagree with that. Taks height would be an advantage to Ando, he's good at in-close fighting, so he would close the gap and stay on Tak until he got a KO. Taks style is made for him IMO
