Happy that Dave Allen stopped Lucas Browne. Browne was only ever good when he was on the peds

Yes, but why do people rank Allen so high. All I've heard is that he has good power...

Who rates him? He's a gimmick who's popular on social media. He has an iron chin but nothing else. Fa and Ahio would beat him.

I thought everyone did, especially in the UK. In the telecast, there was talk of him fighting Chisora or stepping up. Evidently, he hasn't trained well in the past and sabotages his progress.

He's no doubt popular, but no-one really believes that he's any good including himself. He likes to take the mickey out of himself, replies to everyone on twitter and acts like a normal down to earth guy which has gained a following for himself. He'll do well to win a British title but as I said earlier, would probably rival Mariusz Wach for best chin in the division.

that would be a good fight. Sounds like Ruiz might be getting serious again, although still too heavy.

Ruiz v Chisora would also be a fun fight
