Quite a glut of welterweight contenders coming through at the moment. Rank 'em in terms of potential, or by whatever criteria you choose, or spit out whatever thoughts you have which come to mind. Mike Jones Selcuk Aydin Mike Alvarado Kell Brook Brad Solomon Viacheslav Senchenko Ionut Dan Ion Shawn Porter Frankie Gavin (?) I like Dan Ion, Solomon & Brook. I leave the book open on their potential to do something interesting at world level, given the right match ups. Don't think too much of Alvarado, Porter, Aydin or Mike Jones. Senchenko seems a reasonably good European level fighters and would be credible title contenders, if he can rattle a couple wins (for belt holders other than Pac or Floyd who have to fry bigger fish), but isn't going much further.
I've read that Brook and Mike Jones may meet this year. I've never seen Jones fight yet, so i'm going to do so soon.
Little England is gonna rule the boxing waves if things keep going as they are. Yankee boxing iz a well dead dog, bruv.
Be interesting to see if the talent conveyor belt continues at 2012 without him. I don't follow amateur boxing so I really don't have a clue how that's shaping up.
Not sure that's a very good match up for Brook. I'd also be disappointed if he had to move up, personally. Preferred the Jones fight idea.
Williams would batter Brook, unless Brook managed to take him out with one shot, which I can't see happening. After the Martinez KO though, you never know.
