Tell me your opinions on Lee Selby

[IronDanHamza]

He doesn't do anything particularly impressive but I think he's capable of beating good contenders and I don't think that counts as being average. I can understand with the tag of 'Welsh Mayweather' causes him a bit of hate and he certainly isn't worthy of such a title.

A rich man's Ricky Burns.

I don't think he's a rich mans Ricky Burns he's more like a Featherweight Ricky Burns.

I've seen a fair few on here and a few guys I talk to and such hyping him up. I even had one guy try and tell me he beats Donaire by knockout, he was serious too.

It seems most have fairly high expectations of him but I am not seeing it.
Hes a high end Euro level/bordering world class at best really.
I don't really follow the weight but it probably isn't very strong division, you've just had Rocky Juarez crawl back into the top 10 but anybody with a genuine bit of class beats this kid.

I think that Josh Warrington kid has more talent personally but his lack of power will be a real problem at world level. Though I think he is only 21 so still has time to grow, his power might come on a bit yet.

Call me crazy but I think he beats Jhonny Gonzalez, who in my opinion is the most vulnerable champion at 126.

So what do you guys think of this featherweight contender?

he's big at the weight but lacks any serious power but makes up for it with hand speed and exceptional footwork. However, he isn't the complete fighter some are making him out to be and for all his defensive abilities, he does get caught a hell of a lot but with every step up he has gotten better and better.

I honestly believe he has the beating of someone like Gradovic.

i like his style and skills. but don't see him as world class.
and when he starts having to move up in weight well...

To me he looks like a mini Miguel Vazquez without that constant hugging that is unbearable in his fights. Nice footwork , movement and combo's and he is not in a rush to go for a stoppage.

Lee Selby is the future of british boxing, he's an awesome talent and the best is yet to come from him. watch this space...

Good fighter. Couldn't punch his way through a wet paperbag.

[LacedUp]

Cringeworthy isn't the word.

He even try's the same style pad work it looks ridiculous

That's so cringey it's not even funny.
