Comments Thread For: Selby: Warrington is Emotionally Attached To Me, He's a Mark

[Randall Cunning]

AJ - won his strap from the weakest champion ( Martin ) and the unification fight was just given because it was a big fight. Klit didn't have the WBA
Degeale / Jack - great fight made because of Haymon you know the guy you think uses the UK strategy
Cleverly / Jack - won his belt from Braehmer maybee weakest title holder in the division if not him then it's the guy Groves beat in Chudinov ( Groves and Eubank is going to be a sick fight though )

BJS/ Lemiuex - good fight and Saunders earned his strap off Lee. I'm a fan of BJs he cleaned out all his domestic rivals on the way up and is looking to fight the best

Once Brook got that strap he held that belt hostage for years fighting Jo-Jo dans / calibre opponets until he couldn't hide from Spence

Burns / Indongo was a trash unification . Burns got his strap fighting DI Rocco for a vacant ( Weakest possible Opponet) Indongo never beat anyone of substance until he beat Travosky who had never beaten a decent name.


Frampton / LSC - great fights , Frampton has shown he wants to fight the best deserves nothing but props

Haskins / Burnett /Zz - Props to Burnett

Flanagan / Linares - Flanagan won his strap fighting No name and has held his strap hostage since. He should get credit for actually facing a name though after all these years but he was trapped it was either Linares , Beltran


But let's be real the fighters you listed 1/2 got their strap off the weakest available champion. And a couple of those guys milked it fighting lesser calibre opponents for extended periods of time.

Obviously not all UK fighters do this and I'm a fan of lots of UK fighters but it's easier for UK fighters because of the politics of the sport and because of their fans to face and beat the weakest champion and/or hide out in the UK for years without facing any threats once they have it

Nah, I agree with pretty much all you said. Seems to be a change though over the last year, Brits starting to challenge themselves more. The money over here enables us to buy those weakest belts, though unifications have to come out of it now, which is happening more. Though your always gunna get these domestic rivalry world title fights that the rest of the world don't get, can imagine how infuriating it can be when all you want is a unification but you get Warrington vs Selby instead.

For sure lots of the guys are challenging themselves to be the best

I actually think it's dope that UK fans support their own and make the domestic fights a big deal.

And Warrington/ Selby will be a good domestic fight I'll watch but after that If Selby wins I want him to start fighting the best in the division it's been long enough

I'm big on Selby but Warrington looked elite after his slow start. I spent the whole evening discrediting his KO power then come fight night he made me shut my mouth.
