The head gear isn't really the problem it's there more to protect from cuts. The bigger gloves they use in the ametures is what really protects fighter from being sparked.



Joshua should stay ameture for a year or 2. He's had less than 50 fights and is still learning. He's got star potential, he looks good and has power but he needs to improve his movement, he's very stiff. He looks more like a Bruno than Lewis at this point.



Campbell and Selby look good and should turn pro, they look ready.

Freddie Flintoff to have a pro fight in November, subject to getting a license. Doing it for a Sky series i think.

cleverley calling out froch

froch dont need clev.... he way above him, would be a good fight mind



how the tables have turned, reminds me of when froch was calling out calzaghe and calzaghe didnt need him

Andre Ward is brilliant. P4p top 3 IMO.

Only top 3??...Who's better than him?



I'd say its now between Mayweather and Ward.

Well Money May and Pac but I'd have him above Pac for sure. He should move to LHW. To be fair Dawson did look a bit dead at the weight. A rematch at LHW or a fight with Hopkins next wouldn't srprise me, although I'd like to see him fight Andre Dirrell, he's the only one who can match Ward in terms of talent at 168, although I'm not sure he's got the heart required. Assuming Clev wins his next fight he should go for Dawson.

Hopkins won't fight Ward. Pretty sure he's said so. Ward is IMO level with Mayweather right at the top of the game. Incredible all round boxer, and a dirty get to go with it.



What did we make of Bellew's performance?

The only problem with Ward, from a boxing fan's point of view, is that he is too good and so his fights are going to become predictable, one-sided affairs, leading to accusations that he and the sport are boring.



Look at his record already - He has already fought and outclassed the only other two credible SMW's (Froch and Kessler), and now he has schooled a light heavyweight champion, who himself was rated in the top 10 p4p fighters!!



He's definitely a huge talent and good to watch, but he's that good, we might end up with a Klitchsko-type domination of the SMW/LHW division, leading to it becoming quite dull.

What did I make of Bellew? Bloody frustrating.



Miranda was allowed to fight at his own pace for way too long.

The Bandwagon is coming back.



Not what I really wanted to happen Ricky, but feck it.

....No, no, no, no, no, no, no!!!.....It can only go one way and that's disaster.



What exactly is he hoping to acheive??.....At his peak, he fell short of top quality, so I can't see him reaching World level again and I see little point of him coming back, unless both he and Amir Khan are looking for an easy way of making big cash by having a domestic tear-up?

Maybe he fancies finally ending Witter? He'll be coming back at 147lbs so there's a rematch with Malinaggi who's now WBO champ. I'd like to see him fight Bradley, he's not a big puncher and I'd still give Hatton a very good chance of winning.

hatton come back has got people talking!



i see him poss having a warm up match..then taking on mallinaggi and being a champ again but would be a close one to call with mallinaggi now, depends what shape hatton comes back in



everyone would just love to see khan v hatton!!!!!!

Blimmin 'eck, this will be....interesting at least! I will definitely watch a Hatton comeback but he was looking old and over the hill due to his constant fluctuation in weight, in his latter career (1st time). There is a genuine route to a world title with Malinaggi though, I think Hatton's style is kryponite for him.
