You said that Mcneil basically wasn't warrented a shot at the title, he was just a last minute stand in, well he wouldn't have got a shot at the commonwealth title if he wasn't rated! The board wouldn't have passed it. Maybe Duran isn't the hardest puncher out there, but he can certainly hit harder than Gary Young i.m.o. I believe Mcneil wouldn't be scared to have a go with anyone, can't say the same about Gary, get him in with the likes of Glen Mclarnon, or someone who at least has a heart beat. Then at least we could see if he had anything to offer at a higher level. Too many young guys out there are just interested in keeping a clean record with no loses, even if it means fighting nobodies, I would rather fight for a title and lose that not fight for a title, cause even if you lose you still gained the experience.
Gary will eventually get a crack at a title and will get found out cause he's never had a test. But it's a waste of time debating it, let's just wait and see.
