This is somethin I've been thinking about lately.

Arthur has mopped up domestically. He's anxious and eager to fight for a world title. Although he said he'd like that this year, his last fight was inconclusive and stopped because of a cut, so I expect him to be in against another European challenger next, but early next year he could be up against someone like Jorge Barrios or one of the other super featherweight titlists.

How do you reckon he'd do against that kind of class?

Personally I think he'd have a shot against Barrios for the WBO crown. Jorge is wild swinging and clumsy himself, he is open to the counter, and Arthur is a solid, all-round boxer. That fight would still worry me though. Barrios has power in both hands, and is relentless. Arthur isn't the best boxer under pressure. If I was Warren I'd maybe target Baloyi aswell. Medina outboxed him for a while, but gassed out. Arthur has great fitness...And I think Tommy Gilmour promotes the South African (?) so that can be made. They staged Arthur-Docherty remember.

Ultimately, I'm not convinced. But he's got to test himself against that kind of level sooner or later, and I would give him a decent chance to take one of the big belts.
