I am looking over his record. he is the only person to go 12 rounds with V.Klit. he only has 3 losses 1 against VK, a split decision against Henry Akinwande and a decision lost to Michael sprott who in his next fight he defeated. He holds victories over Ross puritty, corey sanders, quinn navarre and 29 others. He is trained by Buddy McGirt. He stands 6'7 1/2 and weighs 260 lbs. My question is could this guy ever be a threat in the HW Div. has anyone every seen him fight?

1 other thing he didn't beat Corrie Sanders, he beat Corey

he's durable, but he's not really a threat to the top heavyweights, he didn't win a single round against VK, and the limited michael sprott gave him problems, and bear in mind danny williams beat sprott easily twice

Hoffman is quite similar to Kevin McBride actually, don't know if you've saw him but basically big & slow, takes a good dig and has a decent jab when he chooses to use it but lacks the all round skills to make a big impact, Hoffman's last fight was a joke, he clearly lost to Bob Mirovic but as the fight was in Germany Hoffman got the decision and the fight before that he had a very close fight with Luan Krasniqi so he's European level and that's about it I'd say.

I'd pick Hoffman to beat McBride but that's only cos McBride's piss poor, not sure he'd beat any of the fringe guys though, I was really surprised when I saw McGirt in the corner of Hoffman, he's never impressed me at all so I'm not sure what McGirt sees in him.

Bob mirovic clearly won the fight between him and hoffman.
even the german fans were loudly booing the decision

Mate, this guy sucks. Big time. Bob Mirovic is a very, very ordinary fighter & if he didn't run out of gas, Hoffman was gone. As it was, Mirovic was robbed, anyway.

He is a tall durable, unco-ordinated German fighter....in general he is quite technically sound but he has failed to impress in his last two fights..........He seems to lack the ability to adjust during fights...this was clearly visible in his last two fights against Bob Mirovic and Luan Krasniqi....both of these fighters were able to hit him with overhand rights at will.....although the germans like him and he was gifted two decisions against the last two with a win against Mirovic and a draw against Krasniqi.

Credit to him for going 12 rounds with VK, but VK was a different fighter then and this was probably the one and only time VK fought someone the same height.

Thanks for the insight, this guy seems to be a pretty poor fighter with a good chin. Maybe one day we will get to see him on friday night fights against Guinn, who hopefully will get back on track and be the fighter we all know he can
