Clem_89 (U6749026) posted Nov 30, 2006 Will he become World Champion??? emm... by simply looking at the division (super feather) the answer is... i dunno lol. Arthur is awesome but Barrera, Pacman,Valero, Guzman and co also are. It will take the performance of a lifetime to win! My advice: fight Juarez for rankings (he is down due to back to back defeats against barrera) then face final part eliminator at WBA or WBO to get a shot! Tough challenge but not impossible and if he does it then forget about hatton or calzaghe, he will be the British p4p best!!! C'mon Alex, show everyone that you dont have to be heavily mediatised to be a true hero, do it for all us boxing fans!! We believe in you!

marvelousmiked (U6094043) posted Dec 1, 2006 i think i'd have to agree with all the above comments. as good as arthur is im not sure if he'll ever make it right too the top. looking around his weight classes, the competition is so strong im not sure if he'd ever become a tru eworld champ, tho he may briefly hold a belt if hes lucky. hopefully he'll prove everyone wrong but i wont hold my breath....
