Selby's a serious threat @ 126Lb, but the B/S has to stop. "1 fight at a time please"!

C'mon Boxing Scene, Selby is 21-1-0 (8 KOs)!

Selby is talented, skilled and certainly seems to be hardworker, plus his size gives him a big advantage at featherweight. With Walters likely moving up, it leaves the division wide open for Selby, LSC and/or Loma to prove who the best is and in all honesty, in all those match ups, I'd favour Selby. No one matches him for size or skill. LSC maybe matches him in terms of experience.

All these match ups have to happen though and not be wasted, as is the case with most divisions these days.

I'll bet on Selby any time I hear he is fighting a has been or at home with his ref. I might finally get rich.
