Tony ''Tiger'' Thompson Is A Very Good & Underrated HW.

yeah people are just blind prior jealous, when I started to watch boxing I thought "damn, Klitschkos are boring to watch", but I didnt know what it means to appreciate ring smartness in the unlimited heavyweight division. some years ago people and retired fighters used to say " one punch at heavyweight can end the fight", at the lower fight classes you can make it a war and throw many punches, but it didnt hurt as when a Heavyfight throws a 1-2. Klitschko brothers are smart fighters in and outside the ring, they are their own promoters. Chambers, Fast Eddie Chambers destroyed Dimintrenko a Klitschko-sized fighter and almost knocked him out, but against a Klitschko he couldnt do sh1t cuz he didnt know how to answer Klitschkos skills and power. people use to say Klitschkos win cuz of their size. I say BS...what about fighters like Harrison or Grant, they dont have half the ability of the reign champs. Vitali took a 4 year layoff and make one of the strongest comebacks of the decade. go figure...take a 4 year layoff at HW and comeback to not only fight journeymen but dominate the division and win a major belt. both at a stage in their career where other veterans would have been faded and knocked out brutally..... The Champions have to call the contenders out, LOL....not as usual the other way round..... Klitschko brothers are living legends and we should celebrate them. and Ill start right now. Klitschko brothers are ATG :friday:

Thompson seems like a good guy, but I've never been overly impressed with anything he does. He's just a solid, hardworking heavy with an unspectacular but effective wearing down style that thus far has enabled him to amass a record of 34-2-0. If he were fighting in the 90s he would be at journeyman level. That's not a diss, just a comment on the state of the division in today's day and age (which isn't the worst ever, as a lot of people like to crow, but far from its glory days).

They should have a tournament between American heavyweights, say Thompson, Chambers, Kevin Johnson and Arreola, perhaps with the likes of Austin, Guinn or Estrada added in. Thompson would win it easily. I don't think there is a heavyweight in the world who would beat Thompson who isn't named Klitschko.

People dont understand that The K2 brothers make people look like bums, its all about style vs style. You could have 2 great HW's who have big Tyson-esque wars with lots of punches and fast action then they get into the ring with Wlad and look like bums. Its what Mora did to Mosley kind of and like Bhop does but Wlad does it on another level, he takes away all their offense while landing the 1-2 and the jab all night long. You watch when they retire the HW division is going to be "amazing" again because all you will have is punchers and people think that if people go toe to toe then they are amazing. Vitali has lost less than 10 rounds in his entire career, Wlad has been the most dominant and avoided fighter of recent time, people are refusing career high paydays not to fight him. They dont understand that once you get into the ring your gameplan goes out the window because you are fighting his fight and he has the strongest punch in Boxing. Look at Sam Peter, the only people who ever KO'd him were Vitali and Wlad, yet he still got into the ring with them and wasnt scared unlike other fighters. In his other fight's he throws lots of punches and has exciting fights. He tried doing that in Round 2 of the last fight and he hit Wlad with a nice right hook, what happened after that? Wlad gave him 2 1-2's that sucked all of Peters energy and power that he went into survival mode. People watch and think "oh why arent they punching him why they just standing If I was in the ring I would just get inside and punch, Its not that easy, do people think these fighters go into the fight without a gameplan? They all train for the same thing and they get countered by Wlad/Vitali. People forget these are the smartest guy's in Boxing by far, they both hold PhD's and are avid chess players. But nah, according to some they are Bums and they should be like David Haye who fights 40 year olds once a year and give chit to Wlad for trying to fight 3-4 times a year. Doesnt Vitali also have the Highest Ko% in history ? yeah people are just blind prior jealous, when I started to watch boxing I thought "damn, Klitschkos are boring to watch", but I didnt know what it means to appreciate ring smartness in the unlimited heavyweight division. some years ago people and retired fighters used to say " one punch at heavyweight can end the fight", at the lower fight classes you can make it a war and throw many punches, but it didnt hurt as when a Heavyfight throws a 1-2.

you have to respect him, and everybody who steps into the ring with either Klitschko. Tiger is a very good fighter, you know what I mean if you have seen his fights before Kiltschko..............................................its fukkin unimaginable hard to beat either Klotschko and if you beat either you desereve to be called the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

Agreed I Like Thompson, he is a good fighter !

if thats his best effort it only enforces my point that he's nothing special you have to respect him, and everybody who steps into the ring with either Klitschko. Tiger is a very good fighter, you know what I mean if you have seen his fights before Kiltschko..............................................its fukkin unimaginable hard to beat either Klotschko and if you beat either you desereve to be called the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.

That's not true. :nono: He gave it his best effort, but the accumulation of Wlad's punches slowed him down in the later rounds. if thats his best effort it only enforces my point that he's nothing special

Klitschko made his opponents look ordinary. Thompson is a good fighter.

He won the 2nd round IMO against wladimir... Back then he would have been a bum..

when he fought klitschko, he just stood there waiting to lose and get his pay day... was a dreadful performance another fighter who only shows up to get paid and not win :(
