I say either a Barette or Guin or JC Gomez level fighter or even better I say he starts to call out Wlad. I think he has the style to stop Wlad, all you need is a chin and a set of ballz and you'll win. I mean if Brewster can then why not Jirov.

What do you guys think, whos JIrov next opponent? :confused:

Wlad v Jirov would be a good fight. Jirov has a serious chin and has some pop at heavy. If Wlad is too tenative, like he was for his last fight, he could be stopped.

Jirov vs. Byrd would be a good fight. But Toney is what he wants as well as the general public. Jirov's chin has always looked good, but I think a good punch from any of the big boys will make you sleep fast.

I could also see he trying to hook up with Fres Oquendo or Jeremy Williams.

James Toney will be fighting for a belt if he can stay healthy, so a rematch doesn't look immediately likely.

Jirov vs. Tarver would be a bigger moneymaker than a number of heavyweight battles. Jirov beat Tarver as an amateur; there's a backstory there as well as a better size differential.

Calling Wlad out doesn't accomplish mutch.

If Jirov can't get a big name, a Juan Carlos Gomez or someone ranked 10-20 would be a good stepping stone towards a Toney rematch or going after a contender. And I know a lot of people love Jirov, but he's not a contender yet. He's 0-1 at heavy. He needs a few more fights. After Moorer he should face another couple guys who aren't "top" opponents but are credible enough to continue to build Jirov's heavyweight reputation.

I think this pretty much sums up my opinion... Also the Wlad thing was for a reaction as a joke!!! Thanks for the bad Karma you ****ing douche bag!!!

A Toney vs Jirov match can be built up to be a huge fight, that's if Jirov keeps winning.
I'd like to see Jirov vs Tarver. I think Jirov can KO him, which will put Jirov in the publics eye for sure.

The Jirov-Moorer should be pretty good, especially for being on FOX Sports.

Jirov-Moore should be entertaining, a Cruserweight verses the 400 pound man-just leave it to Fox.

After that the sky can be the limit for Jirov, A heavyweight that 90% of the boxing fans actully enjoy watching, imagine that.

Jirov needs a least a couple of high profile wins so hopefully he can get
a title shot. However, maybe his losses at heavyweight will help him
look beatable so Ruiz, or Byrd might give him a shot. If Jirov were to win a hw title ( i think he can ) that would put him directly in the path of James Toney, which would be another great fight!

I have always enjoyed watching Jirov. And he won his last 2 fights. I could very well see him beating Tarver and Byrd.

i can see him beating Byrd, too. Byrd doesn't have the power needed to keep Jirov away. i can see him beating Ruiz too, it'd probably be a late KO

I had him way down on points in the mesi fight - of course if it had been scheduled for 12 instead of 10 he would have won because mesi wouldn't have made it out of the 11th

Hey bigdubb that picture you have with the guy getting knocked out is some real ***** ****. Any mother****er that cheap shots someone else who is involved in a fight or a heated argument is a ****ing coward and a ****ing *****. Not saying this about you, I am just expressing my opinion.

Jirov should target Holyfield if Holyfield eeks by Donald. Holyfield is so far, far, far gone that Jirov could get a real big name on his record fairly easy, I believe. Plus, Holyfield fights his worst againts smallish heavyweights.
