    He needs one, and why not GBP. Though he may be better with King in the Heavyweight division.

      I dont wanna judge on his record alone but I gotta see him fight, Lamar Clark's power also looked bonebreaking on record.

        I know it'd be cool to work with someone who is your friend, but King may be a good choice. To be honest, Top Rank wouldn't be bad either, at the least he'd keep him active.

          David Rodriguez isn't Lamar Clark LOL, Lamar Clark was a totally different case. Rodriguez has some amateur background and went to camp with Joe Mesi, Lamon Brewster, and Lou Savarese as a sparring partner, so he has some experience.

          The latest word I've gotten is that his people are looking at May for a TV date, possibly on Telefutura. SOLO BOXEO

                    First things first, he's big. He's 6'5 and 245+. His record is 23-0 (22 KO), with most of them coming in the first round. He's from El Paso, TX and is 29 years old.

                    Behind the numbers, his opposition has been soft and played out. The only guy of note on his record is Jeff Lally, who is only of note because he's a sure win for any heavyweight. But he's young and hits harder than all get out. He's been fighting alot in the Arizona and Kansas, so he hasn't been exposed to the stern tests that Vegas, Cali, and New York bring.

                    The best insight I have found on him is from Oscar De La Hoya, who said "when you look at David's record, you might assume all his opponents were easy, but I tend to think it points more to him being a devastating puncher. Make no mistake about it, he's a big time puncher..."

                    Have you seen him, and if so, what do you think of him?
                    audley sparred this guy for the sprott fight...
