Grinberg hints Ibragimov may dump Mayweather

[kayjay]

Yes, even when he had Holyfield hurt - I remember it was the 8th or 9th round - Mayweather told Sultan to pull back! At one point he had Briggs hurt too, but backed off. Sure, he improved Sultan's defense, but there's a time when a fighter should launch a sustained attack and go for the kill.

Sultan's power is not great (for an elite HW), and his chin isn't any better. Although it's hardly my favorite style, the only way for him to consistently win against the bigger top HWs is to use his speed, get in and out and wait on the back foot.


And there was no way he was going to knock Holyfield out.
