Thought He looked terriffic, mind the other Bloke was made for Him. But never the less impressive performance.
There is talk of a fight with Margorito for the vacant WBC belt, I think Margo would smash him up, but Rhodes is a nice fella but I think he would fall short of world class.
Agreed Scrap, he was in great shaped, best I havse seen him since before Otis Grant fight, perhaps best ever. Also agree with Skel, that he will fall just short against somebody like MagaritoQuote:

Ones a Lt Middle ones a not sure, but wont see Feather again.
He did look really good but who wouldn't against a guy who threw near to no punches. But i have seen some of his other fights and he can box very well under pressure or he can go to war with you however i don't see him winning a world title. Be great if he did though! ;)
Looked very good last night, but he wasnt against a world class fighter,but he dealt with a decent fighter with ease.
Deserves a big fight imo.
I think the light middleweight divison is gonna be amazing in the next 18 months, when Kirkland gets back in the mix ( lets hope he can still make 154 ) some amazing fights can be made, really think this is could be the hottest division in the near future.
Ryan Rhodes looked world class last night, let's hope he gets a world title shot soon.
Job biscuit (hgh is great, it makes me feel alive and full of splendor. Quote: manny pacman, 2010)
I thought he looked very slick, hands were a little low when coming out of a clinch and would have taken some shots against a better fighter. Had a nice style last night though.
I think his opponent like may say helped him look good, but Rhodes is a great guy. Surprised he looks so good at 154, every weigh in I see of him recently he looks like a corpse, the bloke deffo deserves a nice pay day at world level.
I got home from work around the end of the third round and the first thing I saw was the stat that Messi had thrown 8 punches in the first three rounds, and that said it all really.
As others have said, he seems a decent guy, and being a brit I wish him all the best, but I'm not sure he can cut it at the very top.
