Jirov vs. the titleholders

I don't see Jirov beating any titleholders(except Brewster of course). He hasn't really proven he can. He has proven he can take a beating for 10-12 rounds, which gives him a chance to score a late ko. But Ruiz and Byrd can hang for the full 12 and VK would just beat Jirov senseless. Personally, I would like to see Jirov take on Rahman or even Golata and really show weather or not he can hold his own as a heavyweight.

it's not a question of beating Ruiz's style, Jirov won't stop attacking Ruiz - he'll stop him late, just like he did to Sloppy Joe Messy, and hopefully end his career like did to Sloppy Joe's too Agree 100%

I think Jirov would beat any of the title-holders except VK. And even that fight is not a guarantee. The divison right now is so sad.

I would give him a chance against VK, not sure if he will win, but i know it wouldn't be easy for VK. 12 round close decision. I think he would beat all the other three. With bryds new stand in front style byrd would get his ass beat, maybe even KO'd. he can't sit and wait for Jirov to run out of gas because it won't happen. Brewster would be KO'd in the later rounds. Ruiz would be his toughest fights, but i also see Ruiz going down in the later rounds. All good fights. Jirov takes out brewster and ruiz and toney takes out VK and bryd then they unify the HW div. may the best man win. I would love to see Jirov-Toney II for the linear crown. :D

It depends on how much Jirov has left in the tank. Guys with his style don't last long in boxing and he took a lot of punnishment in his fights with Toney and Mesi. But if he's still fresh and retains the form he showed in the Toney fight I'd give him a chance against pretty much anybody. I think Klitschko and Byrd would beat him but he destorys Brewster and knocks out Ruiz . . .

I agree to exciter's post but IMO Vassily can beat Ruiz' style. ...and I would love to see the Jirov-Toney rematch as well. Go Jirov! it's not a question of beating Ruiz's style, Jirov won't stop attacking Ruiz - he'll stop him late, just like he did to Sloppy Joe Messy, and hopefully end his career like did to Sloppy Joe's too

The next good fight takes place tomorrow night and I will post my opinions about Jirov's chances at a heavyweight belt, right now. Jirov vs. Klitschko = Tiger has all the heart in the world but I think he has no chance here. Jirov vs. Byrd = This could be a very exciting fight due to Jirov's forward, take no prisoners style and Byrd's elusive, slick, yet busy style. I think Byrd gets a close decision. Jirov vs. Ruiz = Should be an ugly, rough fight that would go to the cards and Ruiz will be the winner. Not because he is better than Jirov but because he is stronger. Jirov vs. Brewster = I don't need to get into details here. I will just say : "Let's Go, Tiger". New WBO champion. Then he can get his rematch against Toney in another fight of the year candidate. All of these matches will be great to have. Since I am obviously biased, I will not comment on the outcomes.
