    Not if he fights above 140 he won't.

    It pisses me off when does that.

    He's too small.

    Someone in the end, will walk straight through him and destroy him. You can't get away with being a small welter. A lot of the top Welters should be light-middles if not middles. Some monsters up there.

    Even someone like Collazo is a case in point. Imagine Gavin against him. It would look ******, and he'd probably get stopped.

      Not trash, just not as good as people hyped him up to be.

        Don't know why he's been messing around with the Welterweight division at the moment, shoulda stayed at 140 and fought good opposition. Think he'll make his run towards the top at 140 and step up to 147 a couple of times, he needs to stay at 140 though.

        He's OK for 140, 147 is a no-go. Shame he can't still make lightweight, he'd be great there.

        I heard him saying 147 is the eventual destination though.

          Yeah, how can Khan make lightweight for years and Gavin seems to want to fight at welter?

          Genetics hasn't favoured Gavin.

            He's like the British version of Juan Diaz.



            Frustrating how he's being managed too, should be fighting better opposition by now. Him vs Daws/Theophane needs to be made.
