The fact remains that the only guy to ever stand toe to toe with Tua and be reasonably succesful at it, is Ike Ibeabuchi.
That was one of the best hw fights of the 90's and it was extremely close. Tua had Ike for about 5 rounds in a row but the damage had already been done
Can't wait till this fight. Haven't been this exited for a heavyweight fight in quite some time. Toney is a natural middleweight, and Rock is a big dude with a bigger punch. I have a bad feeling for Toney but hopefully his skills allow him to take Rock.
By very nature a "natural" middleweight is someone who has no problems making that weight (someone like bhop), which puts toney well out of that category.
I'd pick an unfit Toney over a fit Rahman any day though!
First off Roy lost twice to Tarver he won the first fight. Second off Roy still well go down as an all time great. I cant help but ask what the f*** does Stephen A. Smith know about boxing, he has never fought and obviously has not watched Roys career before the losses. So i say f*** Smith put his ass in the ring and beat some legends and world champions and then run his mouth.
Heres to hoping Hopkins beats the shit out of Tarver, unlikely but possible.
Peace out ;)
Dont care what you say in the 1st fight Tarver was robbed. Fact!
Absolute rubbish.
It's probably not rubbish because Buster had the STRATEGY to beat Tyson. We all know Tyson goes into self destruct mode when he thinks hes getting beat!
I dont think there is an HBO broadcast online at the HBO website, maybe im blind but i dont see it.
Yeah I couldn't find it. Gutted coz i dont think it on in the uk!
Im still not 100% sold on Brewster, he beat a gassed out Klitschko in a fight that he was badly hurt in.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ KLITSCHKO NUTHUGGER ALERT $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Can anyone remember of a challenger coming into a fight so out of shape being such a clear favourite?
I think hes just trying to make a mockery out of todays hw division.
If anyone could ever pull it of JT can do it!
Byrd
Valuev
Toney
Ruiz
Brock
Rahman
Klitschko
Brewster
Peter
Maskaev
This is the boxrec hw top 10. Valuev at 2? Klitschko ahead of Brewster? Brock ahead of Rahman? What the hell?
Basically its who they've beat and who they've been beaten by, which determines it. Valuev is 2nd and deserving coz hes undefeated in 43 and has beaten Etienne, Donald and Riuz in his last 3.
Brock is also undefeated and Brewster hasn't had many BIG named fighters like Wladimir.
Their p4p list is the one that I have most problems with.
5-9 237lb Why? I agree on excessive muscle tone not a major requirement for a fighter, but 30-40% body fat.
Is 5-9 betting odds? If it is whack a big pile of cash on!!!!
I only got 2-5 and put £1,000 in with 3 football matches
Tyson lost coz he didn't know what to do when he couldn't bully people. Not having Kevin Rooney in his corner for the 1st time didn't help. A perfect strategy to beat Tyson, which has got to be admired!
I just got sick odds on Chelsea beating Barcelona @ 25-1 so I created a double of that and JC to KO JLHL inside 6 to take home two grand from a £50 bet.
Where'd you get 25's? I only 5's to qualify
now i will be honest when i say this: joe cal does have a chance. hes fighting on familiar turf and might the that cheap home-court advantage. indeed, joe might possibly have a chance of winning by SD or MD or dare is say UD, but i will say this also: there is no way in hell that joe cal will stop lacy.
I don't think Lacy could ko calzaghe either. Never been ko'd ever (not sparring or amateur either)
I doubt it, man.
He's the only guy to ever beat Ricky Hatton legitimately
Ricky Hatton is undeafeated professionally. If its amateur your talking about, it don't mean shit!
Even Calzaghe looked scared in the press conference.
Champion of 8 years and 17 defences. Speaks for itself. This is just the acid test and im so sure im gonna slap £500 on calzaghe to win!
I think Calzaghe gets blown out the ring on some shit looking like Maskaev against Kirk Johnson.
You keep telling yourself that son. Another unified british champ please!
that Williams fight is the sole basis for why I dont like him! I wanted him to win, but he barely threw a punch, I really made me dislike him its unfair for sure but what can you do! the man is a let down.
I was completely pissed off after that fight but I think hes the only real hope of a hw champ from britain. Its so annoying when someone has amazing potential but doesn't show it all!
All of what you said is true.
My silent point was directed at the notion the division is weak....and if you give anyone credit...you have to give credit to Wlad. His resume is the best in the division.
Better than Ruiz and Byrd because he knocked most of those guys out and wasn't recieving gift decisions.
Hmm funny you didn't mention Brewster! Lol.
1 question though, howcan you say he's "the best in the division" if he got ktfo by Brewster? (Who I don't rate at all FYI)
really has Audley gone to see the wizard of oz to get some courage?
Weren't you the one who thought Pemberton was gonna beat Manfredo and Guinn was gonna beat Toney along with other pathetic predictions! Your comments are immaterial!
