... for me it's pretty much all of the heavyweight champs at present.

I've noticed a lot of speculation over Ruiz vs. Toney, and it's true. We all know Ruiz is technically a poor fighter, and Toney is arguably the most accomplished heavyweight out there. Yet there's that nagging doubt that his hugging tactics could neutralise just about anybody. Even when he faces an opponent that's technically more skilled than he is (which is, let's face it, 99% of the division) he still pulls out the wins.

Then there's Vitali. He has massive holes in his defense and we all know it's only a matter of time before someone can exploit them. But as yet we're still waiting...

The Byrd? Can frustrate anyone.


Which boxers do you watch that are unpredictable?

well, spinks vs wright would be unpredictable

but the unpredictable guy for me is Glen Johnson. I mean what comes next from this guy?

TYSON, PAC, TITO, GATTI, the bombers that can either win or loose on any given night.

Unpredictable? Rahman man! He beat Lewis when he was supposed to lose, but lost the rematch when everyone thought he could repeat the feat of South Africa. How do you lose to Holyfield, a 39 year old Holyfield! Then draw (really won) against Tua when everyone thought he was going to get KTFO. He then lost to Ruiz but knocked Meehan the **** out. I done predicting his fight outcomes.

I think he would be an interesting test againts Klitshko. I thought Klit wouldve lost a rematch againts Lewis and that Rahman was extremely lucky. I will give Rahman his props if he can beat Klit. The best heavy out right now is James Toney and that is saying something about this division.

toney/VK would be interesting also

TYSON, PAC, TITO, GATTI, the bombers that can either win or loose on any given night.

Tyson is the king of upredictacbility, you don't no whether he is going snap, get injured, injure a fighter, KO the ref :D , get a tatoo on his face before the fight or the usual 1st round KO.

TYSON, PAC, TITO, GATTI, the bombers that can either win or loose on any given night.
anybody can lose at any given night...

TYSON, PAC, TITO, GATTI, the bombers that can either win or loose on any given night.Tito lost ONE time. I would say, Zab Judah, and John Ruiz.

Rahman is very unpredictable, and it has a lot too do with his training he was like 270 against tua and 235 against meehan.

If he comes at 235 against klit it will be an interesting fight.

tua and tyson are allso hard to predict cause they can finish it all with one clean punch.

I'm not getting this "Rahman is unpredictable" schtick. One lucky punch does not make you unpredictable. You can predict the outcome of most of Rahman's fights - he's mediocre. Why is Kali Meehan even being mentioned into the mix? Because people believed he was a contender after nearly beating Brewster? Danny Williams KOed Meehan in less than a minute. "Punching bag with legs on" as Toney has it.

The idea of Rahman getting hussled is quite likely, and he's just "in the mix" at top level.

I guess what I was getting at with "unpredictable" is not being able to guess the variables. Yeah, Tyson is unpredictable in that he'll either bomb the guy out or get beat... but isn't that predictable in itself?

I'm talking about an untalented hugger going up against arguably the most talented man in the division and still no-one would like to say for sure who'll win...

John Ruiz.


yeah john ruiz is unpredictable no doubt..I don't know whether he'll start losing and lowblow his way out of the round, or start losing and purposely position himself to catch a lowblow.
