yea has anyone heard about this aussie he supposed to be a contendor who practices a really wierd fighting style. i only saw 1 of his fights it was ok. does anyone think he has a chance at taking the title. i think hes ranked.

he is 5'9 who tries to leap in liek hammed, he is gonan get owned so bad, all the 6 footers elite in the middleweight divsion will pick him apart, sam is a joke

It's a joke that this guy is ranked #1. This guy will never be a champion.

not sayin that he will become champ, but he aint no chump. When he came to my home town about a month ago he didnt look bad. Started out slow then his corner told him what to do, he did it, and he won. A real people person. Dont forget, bernard could have fought soliman but instead he fought taylor.

I'm not impressed with this guy & I don't think he deserves to be the #1 ranked guy.

what fights have you seen. He has only had three major television fights.

what fights have you seen. He has only had three major television fights.One fight was enough for me, I saw his last fight against Fernando Zuniga. After Taylor beats *****kins again, I rather see Taylor fighting a guy like Winky, Strum or Lacy then Solimon. Even Eastman will be a better fight.

about who he should fight next i agree, but to use one fight as a basis for your whole argument is ridiculous. Lewis looked like **** against McCall, ali looked like **** against holmes, tszyu v hatton. etc....

Lewis looked like **** against McCall, ali looked like **** against holmes, tszyu v hatton. etc....Just look at Solimon's record & the people he has fought. Lewis got knocked out with one punch, that was different. I saw enough from Solimon & I don't want to see it again.

How is it a joke that he is ranked #1? The joke is the fact that you would even bother commenting on this issue when he have only seen one of his fights (a fight that he won 99-91, 99-91, 96-93 mind you). What more could the guy possibly do? Lets look at his career:

- 7 losses, all came at a time when he was concentrating more on kickboxing than boxing and 4 of them were in his opponents backyard.
- Never been dropped
- His last loss was against Anthony Mundine which was a flat out robbery. Since then he has reeled off 19 straight wins.
- Has fought 17 times in the last 3 years.
- Has learnt to sit down on his punches as evidenced by 8 KO's in his last 10 fights.
- Dropped Raymond Joval for the first time in his career on route to winning 120-107, 120-107, 119-108.
- Not that it matters but has the personality promoters dream their champs would have.

What are you talking about you have only seen 1 of his fights the disgrace is that he will fight ANYONE i mean anyone all he wants is the chance winky, strum, hopkins, but nobody will give him a chance.

Also he may not be the next Taylor but his a volume puncher with quite a bit of skill as mikkell kessler admited when they sparred in sydney.

Seriously man your the joke coming into this thread and showing you complete lack of knowledge about sam.

Seriously man your the joke coming into this thread and showing you complete lack of knowledge about sam.Don't give me this bull****. Like you've seen many of his fights. Unless you live in Australia, you have not seen **** from Soliman. Only 2 fights of Solimon was shown in the US. I don't need to watch 20 fights from a boxer to judge him. I've seen his last fight & this guy doesn't deserve a title shot, a guy like Strum & Eastman deserves it more then him. Don't act like you've seen many of his fight, because you haven't. All I know that he hasn't beaten anyone, how in the world this guy is ranked #1. Where did all of these Soliman fans came from.

I've seen his last fight & this guy doesn't deserve a title shot, a guy like Strum & Eastman deserves it more then him.

Bernard Hopkins (or *****nard *****kins as you call him) UD over Howard Eastman 119-110, 117-111, 116-112. Hhhhmmmmm...

Bernard Hopkins (or *****nard *****kins as you call him) UD over Howard Eastman 119-110, 117-111, 116-112. Hhhhmmmmm...Yes *****kins won the fight against Eastman in a boring way. At least Eastman fought Joppy & beat Joppy in most peoples eyes. Who the hell Soliman has beaten, let me guess. No one!

Sols worked his way up and deserves a crack against a name, he's a top ten middle for sure, i don't think hes no1 but he deserves an opportunity to show his ranking against maybe eastman, sturm etc, he could do with a good scalp now hes got a ranking

Stop talking about Eastman **** he lost to joppy he lost to hopkins he just lost again to arthur abraham he sucks his **** he doesn't deserve another shot.

Strum deserves a shot a bit more than sam but so what im sure his ranked #1 at WBO same as sam is by IBF get over it ***.

I wasn't impressed.

Dude, youre really gay.....and your little gay disco guy isnt helping either.......I heard Soliman is gonna fight Ikeke for the IBF title thats why Ikeke dropped out of his last fight on the undercard of Ouma vs. Karmazin.

he is 5'9 who tries to leap in liek hammed, he is gonan get owned so bad, all the 6 footers elite in the middleweight divsion will pick him apart, sam is a joke
At first I thought you were pretty funny always rooting for Sturm no matter what and Sturms a good fighter and deserves a title shot too and all, but come on dont hate on Solimon cause your boys not getting a title shot.

Half & Half. Yes I might be gay, do you also want it in the butt. ;)

lol this Solimon guy isn't that great. Yes he has decent handspeed and an awkward style but he has NO POWER. He couldn't even knock out this bum named Zuniga. He jumps in and hes just itching for a huge counter. Hope he gets a title shot though, he deserves some big money because he hangs in there and trains very hard.

Yes he has decent handspeed and an awkward style but he has NO POWER.

If he has no power why does he have 8 KO's in his last 10 fights and how did he floor Raymond Joval?

Raymond Joval is an EXTREMELY talented fighter.....DUH

Nothing to do with talent, Joval has a chin as solid as anyone in boxing. Never been stopped or knocked down prior to Soliman. Vargas didn't even get close to hurting him.

At first I thought you were pretty funny always rooting for Sturm no matter what and Sturms a good fighter and deserves a title shot too and all, but come on dont hate on Solimon cause your boys not getting a title shot.


i aint hating but some people think that solimon would beat and even OWN a guy liek hopkins, ive seen sams last fight, this guy is nothing
