    "Amazing" Alex Arthur...he's some sort of an interim champ at 130 i think

    yep, he's Guzman's mandatory, and most likely his next opponent should Pac-JMM get finalized.

    He's decent enough. He could, in theory at lesat, sneak a world title for a while somehow. I think he just got caught that night being too cocky.

    He's not gonna be a long time champ or anything though.

    He's not going to beat Joan Guzman, though...

    Probably not. I think Joe summed him up pretty much perfectly above...

    he's a good solid top 10 contender....looking at the super feather division, there are 2 leagues inside the top 10....Arthur is probably at or near the top of the 2nd league.......he's a very good all-round boxer, and his European title defences have been impressive against some awkward and skillful opponents

    A protected fighter, who, in the last 31/2 years since he was exposed and smashed by a punch-drunk Irish bum, has fought nothing but total feather-fisted nobodies.

    same things were said about hatton and calzaghe :rolleyes:

    ....not that i am saying that Arthur will go on to achieve what they have, but he's a solid contender and he's beaten some decent opp
