    Definitely, started at 130 I think, 140 is likely his ceiling.

      Hearing Dalton Smith could fight Robbie Davies Jnr on March 23rd. Not sure if that’s their first choice though, could possibly be an international opponent I think.

        That's actually not terrible to be fair, will probably be his best opponent thus far. When Smith was with Eddie in a post-fight interview at Haney-Prograis they mentioned Valenzuela, that'd be a good fight for him this one or next. McComb makes sense as well with his ranking. Possibly Ritson as well?

            That would be a good/dangerous step up fight, but I do think Dalton would have the skills to outbox Valenzuela. Like that matchup.

              Yes, think Eddie's had him in with Montana Love and Stevie Spark so will have a good idea of his level.

                If Dalton can beat him convincingly, then it's an excellent fight to take, I'm sure Valenzuela's got decent rankings. You'd be right on the fringes of world level off the back of that.

                  Yeah I’d be all for that fight. Hopefully that’s next.

                    Queensberry planning a card for March in Birmingham. Nathan Heaney defending his British Middleweight title and the return of Joe Joyce. No idea on opponents yet.

                      Possible opponents for Heaney is interesting:
                      > No Sheeraz, fighting Feb 10
                      > No Williams, fighting Feb 10
                      > No Denny, rumoured to be defending European 24/2 (per EBU)
                      > No Conway (just won an eliminator), rumoured to be fighting March 30 Japan (?)

                      Of these who do you think is most likely?
                      Eggington, Bentley II, Udofia, Ryan Kelly (Birmingham, just beat Wilson-Bent iirc?)
