Comments Thread For: Arslanbek Makhmudov Wants Joshua, All The Big Names: My Target is To Destroy Everyone

[Murray Kelm]

The guy is pretty old , moves like a statue, I think it's just a matter of time before he gets exposed.

I always LOL whenever some MMA fan who's come to boxing to have a look at how straight people fight, proclaims that a fighter isn't "famous or worthy" because "I never heard of him".
Wow. I guess Nobel Prize recipients are judged the same way too, ya?

So, for anybody interested, Arslanbek Makhmudov has held the WBC-NABF heavyweight title since 2019.
As an amateur he was Russia's top super Heavyweight and notched wins over world ranked Denis Sergeev (who beat Zhilei Zhang & Michael Hunter), Ilya Rudenko, Erik Pfeifer (who beat Razvan Cojanu, Istvan Bernath, Zhilei Zhang, Otto Wallin & Tony Yoka), Jose Larduet (who beat Frank Sanchez, Dean Gardiner, Bakhodir Jalolov, Magomed Omarov, Zhilei Zhang & Lenier Pero), Guido Vianello, as well as the aformentioned Mihai Nistor and Mahammadrasul Majidov (who beat AnthonyJoshua).

As a pro he remains undefeated, and has earned explosive wins over grizzled veterans Jason Bergman, Jonathan Rice, Samuel Peter, Dillon Carman, Pavel Sour, Erkan Teper, Mariusz Wach, Carlos Takam and Michael Wallisch, all winners, on his way up the long ladder of the paid ranks.
Of the world's 2,522 active pro heavyweights, the WBC and the WBA rank him # 5, the WBO # 15 and BoxRec # 18, which is right up there.

But all of that aside, that weird-ass side to side twitch he's got makes him double scary!!

This is probably true. He will lose when he steps up. Even old Takam gave him many problems.

I’ve been following since his North American debut
He seemed to be an engine out of tune , that just needed some fine tuning
After his fight with Takam , I think he might need something more than just fine tuning
Obviously Big Mak has talent and undeniable power but just ain’t sold on him
Hoping he can turn it around

He's got some brute force to him I guess, can probably punch but I haven't seen that many clean shots. I'm not seeing it right now, thought Takam beat him. I have a lot of respect for Takam so I consider it a pretty good opponent but ideally you want to be separating from a Takam at this stage. . I will wait and see what Mak does.

Takam can do that. He didn't make Thompson, Grant, Parker, Joshua or Yoka look good either.

Fury won't fight anyone. Everybody wants to fights Joshua. Hrgovic, and Makhmudov.
