    Default Is Skelton really our best Heavyweight prospect?

    Audleys arguably more talented and Dannys a bigger puncher but Matt probably beats the both of 'em

    Lets assume he makes it past Audley...how far can he go on the world scene?

    I just can't see Audley winning (One thing you can't give or train into a fighter is a solid chin)
    Skelton would be destroyed by Klitch but would have a punchers chance against the others at best i feel.
    He can't box

    I know...it's ugly but effective. It's pure balls really...and it 's for that reason I've warmed to Matt. Yeah, he's a dirty fucker sometimes but he still has the bollocks to get close enough to stick the nut on 'em

    Am I the only one who thinks Audleys class will finally come through?

    Just can't believe he's grown a solid chin in the last 12 months.

    Yeah inside 5 rounds too
    Just think that Skelton must have watched the Williams fight and is gonna jump all over him early and put it on him.
    Audleys gonna melt

    Possibly Haye if he moves up but the power will probably not follow him as the Heavies really do bang.

    The UK ones definately but they hit Sooo much harder than the Cruiserweights it's unreal.
    I know Holyfield pulled it off but he really was something special.
    Haye struggles badly to get down to Cruiserweight so in that respect he may be ok
    Gotta get past Bell for the World title first anyway and that is a tough,tough fight for him.

    He was doing 13 8 18 months ago whats his age 26. He should have no trouble doing 14 4 at the moment next summer He will have to do 14 4 again, I think its all smoke ang mirrors about moving up. It sounds an excuse in case it gose tits up

    When it comes to our best heavyweight prospect, I don't think we need to look past our own British champion, Scott Gammer. He doesn't have the kind of stamina, weight and skill issues that are plaguing our current crop of sluggers, and he's got a great chin unlike our Parcel Force Audley. He's looked very good in the past 4 or 5, those I've seen him in, and in his last fight against Micky Steeds, he threw punches for 12 rounds without stopping, and come the last bell, he was hardly blowing.
    Personally, as for our most successful heavyweight at the moment, I think we need to look outside of our big 3, and at Michael Sprott, who shocked me by beating unbeaten German Rene Dettweiler to retain his EU belt. A very good showing IMO, but Skelton is a brawler, Danny Williams is too unpredictable, and if the wind hits A-force in the face, he's on his arse. Send us a saviour to guide us over this red sea of heavyweight mediocrity!

    I cant see Skelton winning world honours to be honest. He might possibly be able to grind out a win on British soil but I dont see him winning one any other way. I cant see Skelton getting Audley out early Smash. I think He will have him under the cosh from the start but I dont see him putting together enough decent punches early on to stop him.

    Sprotts win kinda went under the radar didnt it. Good performance.

    I think in about 2 years there will be another crop coming through

    I like Skelton, partly cause he's the antithesis of Audley, but he wouldn't beat any of the top guys

    He just doesn't do or have anything good enough apart from arsehole
