Comments Thread For: Bellew/Cleverly Double Early Results From Liverpool

[September 13th]

skelton is 47 & isn't the same fighter he was even 5 years ago. this may be the first name on his resume but let's be real about this. let's see him fight john McDermott next. sexton & lewison are not available so big john would be a nice opponent at this point.

I think Joshua will beat McDermott within a round or two...

He has sparred him many times in the past when he was coming up and dealt with him pretty comfortably.

Yes, it was sparring but it was also 4 years ago now and Joshua has obviously got better and better.

Edit: Lewison would be a good match up. He is underrated.

Joshuas power is a real, stopping even the old Skelton in round two is pretty good. But we still dont know about his Stamina and about his skills against a better Opponent.

Skelton may be old but Joshua needs to get past guys like Matt Skelton before he can be matched with top 15 contenders.........it wasn't that long ago price beat both Skelton and Audrey Harrison and people were saying he was ready for the k-bros. I think big john McDermott would be a good fight for the English belt, but his next opponent is probably better, should give him some rounds at the very least.
