Jirov says he will fight at HW and be a champ

Mormeck destroys Jirov. Any legit Heavy, and most of the non-legit ones destroy Jirov. He knows that he loses no matter where he goes, so he fights where the money is. And thats getting his cruiserweight teeth knocked down his throat at HW. Oh..that and drawing with Norris. Theres a real confidence booster.

jirov is 2-3-1 as a HW. as much as i like jirov, no, he cant cut it as a HW. go back down to cruiser and KTFO that punk mormeck.

in a division that lacks name reconition..Jirov would easily be able to get a title shot at cruiser. Who else are these guys going to fight to make a little coin? He has no chance at Heavyweight and should run down to cruiser right away

he would be good at cruiser at least acontedor n shit. but at heayvwight man it jus doesn't make sence

"Jirov says he will fight at HW and be a champ" LOL:haha:...sure...and Larry Merchant is thinking about challenging Vitali. :D Jirov is a fool He DREW with Orlin Norris! LOL

I think he has skills... He was acknowledged as the most skillful boxer at the Olympics held in Atlanta in 1996. In cruisers he could afford to miss punches and he could also KO people via body punches. In HWs he needs to box more and he should miss less. I also do not think he can KO good HWs with body punches. Skillful, as an amateur. As a pro, he's been very, very hittable. Eveen in his title-winning fight with Arthur Williams...he was taking a lot of big, flush punches.

Jirov is obviously too small to compete at heavyweight - I don't understand why he doesn't move back down to cruiser - particularly when the limit has been extended.

Jirov was a volume-punching bruiser at cruiserweight. He didn' beat his foes with speed, skills, or even, punching power. Now, he's going up against bigger, stronger, & harder-punching guys than what he faced at cruiser. Basically, he is facing his doom. I think he has skills...

Jirov is on crack I must say.

I am here. NAutilus...present. There were many more than just you my son, I appreciate your honesty, I will not forget it,go sit down please. Now, for the rest fo the class, those of you who refused to reveal yourselves...your going to hell.

I remember before Jirov fought Moorer how so many people thought he was going to to make noise in the division, there were alot of BS posters making Jirov out to be a serious HW contender...where are all of you now? I am here.

he wasnt even that impressive at cruiser. If he stays at heavyweight he will be the type of fighter that ends up being on the "fighters to watch" list. I am talkin about the new legislation that they are trying to pass that would make a new commitee that would review boxers that are either aging or taking to many shots,or wars, etc.... He would get knocked around by most of the heavyweights. After like two more of those fights the commitee would step in a force him to retire. Holyfield would actually be the first one on the list. But jirov will make that list if he stays at HW. I bet his next fight will be Audley Harrison. jirov is senil..completely in denial

if he signed with king, king could get him title shots and maybe the title, but otherwise he has no chance... It's so sad that that statement is true.

from boxingtalk.net Exclusive Interview: Vassiliy Jirov By G. Leon GL: What's going Vassiliy? "Nothing, I'm just getting back from spending time on the other side of the world with my family. It was a great time for me, I had a lot of people stop me on the streets for autographs and things like that. Now I'm back home, so it's time to get back to the gym and get back to work." GL: After your last fight with Orlin Norris ended in a draw do you finally think it's time you move down to cruiserweight? Vassiliy Jirov: "I'm not moving nowhere. There's nothing like heavyweight and I'm staying where I am." GL: Why? VJ: "Because I want to be a heavyweight. I am a heavyweight and I feel really strong right now." GL: But when you look at the fights you've had at heavyweight and look at the fights you've had at cruiserweight, it's obvious you were a different fighter at cruiserweight. Why not move back down there? VJ: "I'm ready to do it in the heavyweight division. I myself believe I can do it and the weight is nothing to me. It's just part of the game, I will prove everybody who thinks I should move back down wrong. Just watch my fights and enjoy them." GL: When you don't destroy an old fighter like Orlin Norris doesn't that tell you it's going to be tough to become world champion at heavyweight? VJ: "I didn't want to destroy him, I wanted to box him and I feel I did everything I wanted to do. Sometimes it's a funny game though and you know this better than me. I thought about what happened and dealt with it. Right now I'm back home in Arizona and it's time to get back to work. I want to get in the ring as soon as possible and start kicking some butt." yeah, me too

He got ko'd by a shot Miachael Moorer and couldn't beat Orlin Norris come on what is he thinking move down to Cruiserweight before its too late.

if he signed with king, king could get him title shots and maybe the title, but otherwise he has no chance...
