You can call a cat a fish, doesn't mean it will swim. He is no MW....Ali or any other legend you want to nickname him. It was a stylistic comparison. It's like saying James Tillis fought like Ali, but obviously was nowhere near that level. Calm down, bruv.

I swear this is the age of the Mayweather clones. The ones the style comes natural to, make it work and look good doing it(Rigo, Selby), the other posers are annoying with their adopted "conservative" styles with that generic @$$ philly shell like Ishe Smith who is completely ineffective with it, Broner and Berto each got busted up posing like Mayweather. Fighters need to stick with what brought em success

One's a pure boxer & the other's a pure pressure fighter. So no. You can call a cat a fish, doesn't mean it will swim. He is no MW....Ali or any other legend you want to nickname him.

I expect him to beat Gradovich comfortably. It's stylistically a good match-up for him.

Lee Selby is really skillful and I really fancy him to beat Gradovich. He is a really nice guy and I'm pretty sure he meant stylewise and not being arrogant or ****y. WarSelby
