Any Jirov Fans/Haters here?

I could honestly see Jirov taking Byrd. Not a high probability, but I don't think that Byrd has the ammo to keep him off.

I think Jirov was unluckly gainst Mesi and he gave toney a tough one. Jirov is a cruiserweight and should return to this division before he is defeated again. I`d like to see him in with Jean Momeck or Johnny Nelson,he`d have a chance to beat them, heck, i`d pick him over Kelvin Davis anyday. The titles are there for Jirov if he returns to Crusier.

Jirov has that awkward fighting style but his workrate is impressive, like a logger cutting down a tree not by a chainsaw but with an ax! His fight with Toney was one of the most entertaining last year, too bad JT got the better of him counterpunching to a UD and a 12th rd. KD to punctuate that win.

Was not so lucky in his HW fight debut against Baby Joe, so i think a fight with a washed up Moorer, though how boring that would be, is just fine...to bring him back on track. John Ruiz should be his next victim, Byrd is a bad style match-up so how about Golota (after Ruiz)?!

Take me on the boat as well, even though I don't have a hot avatar

[phallus]

hope you got room on the boat for one more, i'm a big Jirov fan and can't figure out why he doesn't go back down to Cruiserweight, with his power punching i thought he had a good chance at unifying the titles

[Nautilus]

How come there are no haters so far?

Cruiserweight = Lost Division

Jirov is definitely among the best to ever fight at cruiserweight, but there's no money there. The Cruiserweights that most people remember are those who stepped up to Heavyweight and won. The rest, regardless of their skills, are footnotes in boxing history.

I don't blame Jirov for wanting to step up to Heavyweight and try to grab a big purse or two before he retires. He certainly deserves the money as he's always been an entertaining fighter, and he deserves some recognition beyond the regular, devoted boxing fans. Besides, what better time could he have picked to make the move? It's not like the competition is extrodinary right now.

I agree.
