Aye mate . Hopefully he can go on and be a force at lightweight anyway . He wants an intercontinenal fight or something for July . Hopefully he gets fast tracked .

I hope so, but knowing arthur he will be fighting bums and no marks till the end of his carear.

He defintley needs to do something mate , get a big fight or something .Even tho he's 30 mate he's supposed to look after himself in between fights so should still have a few years left in the tank because he's totally t-total . I hope he just starts peaking now tbh mate . I don't want to see him fighting bums tho but when you think about it that division's pretty stacked so there should be no hidng place if he wants to win a world title . I read a while ago he wanted Campbell but sure he had to move up a weight . He's supposes to have sparred with Campbell . I would like'd to have seen Arthur Prescott as well if Prescott was just inter-continental but looking at boxrec , Prescott's scheduled to fight Valero for the full wbc belt in July . Should be good .

He should just retire. The guy was never good. No way in hell he's gonna be relevant at 135. The guy wasn't even relevant at 130. Overhyped and overrated.

What a ****** and ignorant post, honestly stick to posting in the MMA section.

Alex Arthur at the age of 30 should retire???? hes got another 3 to 4 years boxing in him, its well knowing that alex takes care of himself outside the ring.

He was never a world class boxer and never will be, but he is a very good boxer, he cleaned up the british and european scene at super featherweight, and even held the wbo superfeatherweight title.

At 135 their is loads of options for him, he could fight willie limond, lee macalister who will be commonwealth champion, john murray whos british champion, then fight for the european title, also their is talk about him fighting khan.

Loads of great domestic fights right their, and i personally would pay 40 pound a ticket to go see these, and am sure many british boxing fans would love to see these fights.

Weve seen some right cracking domestic fights this year, and alex arthur has the potenial to be in many more, and make himself alot more money, after all he does have a wife and 3 kids to look after.

Saying somebody should retire from their sport because they will never be the main man is ****** and disrespectful.

arthur has shown nothing to me in the last few years to be considered anywhere near world class. he's jus a good domestic level fighter. he should fight murray or someone.

Would love to see him fight Murray, would be a cracking fight, arthur would doo him tho, i dont rate murray at all, lee macalister would have beat him if he wasnt such a feather fisted fighter.
