EXACTLY as I wrote about Wilson a couple of weeks ago. And a few months ago also. No skill, big muscles, heavy looping wide punch, slow as molasses.....etc. I never knoew why all the fuss about him. -
I hope boxing fans in North America give Firat Arslan recognition for being the quality fighter that he he.Comment

He won't, but I'll gladly get things started. I dug the way he fought, no ***** in him, stood his ground and fought his fight against someone who at the very least had a puncher's chance going in. I wouldn't mind seeng Arslan again, be it against Haye, Adamek, Cunningham, whoever. Solid fighter, very TV friendly.
It will be argued that since he's an alphabet titlist, BJ Flores should've received this opportunity, but honestly I don't see Arslan having any problems with him - other than getting Flores to ditch his track shoes and actually force him to fight.
All in all, very impressive performance by Arslan.Comment
