Is Omar Henry The Future Of The Middleweight Division ?

[el malo]

He hasn't even faced a decent journeyman yet, let alone another prospect or contender. I could never give him that title because he bumrushed a couple no-hopers.

he's already better than cotto according to carlosg815. you probably agree with him though right?

I said at this point in his career, he is better than Cotto at that point in his career.

Cotto looked less impressive against the same weak competition.

People can say what they want about his opposition. He's extremely talented and I love watching him fight.

He's a junior mw IIRC but yes, he is the future of that division and will be running MW in the future.

No doubt he'll be champion, but that's probably a year or 2 away.

If his management was smart they'd have him fighting every 3 weeks or so to build his record and have him climb the ranks for a title shot sometime in 2011.

I been big on this guy form the start when i seen him fight in California, I agree 100 percent with you people can say what they want about his opposition but Omar has the talent and hes coming up the same way Miguel Cotto, Floyd Mayweather, Oscar De La Hoya ect came up people want to rush this guy but he is the future of boxing and he will be undisputed champion for sure at 154 imo!

Carlos he is fighting again in i believe a few weeks. Omar is a friend of mine and a down to earth person.

I believe this boy is the future ...

Im with you brother does he have a twitter etc and if so will he respond back to you would love to interact with him he seems so down to earth!

That's what I'm sayin'. People want to bash his competition, but nobody faces C or B fighters when they first start off. You have to have about 20-25 W's before you start to fight A fighters and can even attempt to take a shot at a title.

Too bad there are Cotto troll's that are pissed off that Cotto gets his silly putty face demolished every time he faces a top contender, aside from his victory against Mosley, Cotto has never been very impressive.

Henry would dismantle a guy like Malignaggi, unlike Cotto's far from impressive performance.

I'm tired of the comparison, TBH.

Yeah, because I have a history of anti-Cotto posts... right?

Cotto fought Justin Juuko in his 10th fight and kept fighting former title holders and contenders after that, so that's not true.

That's what I'm sayin'. People want to bash his competition, but nobody faces C or B fighters when they first start off.

Exactly, which is why saying he is the future of the light middle and middleweight divisions is premature. Sure, Henry's exciting and couldn't really be finishing the cans any better, but it's too early for this type of talk.

A couple months ago, there was a fighter that broke the record of knocking out all of his opponents in the first round and was stopped in his first step up against Carson Jones. The kid looked real athletic and had a lot of talent, if he had Henry's hype from his 6th fight, he'd have been touted as the second coming of Tyson. **** doesn't workout like that.

Why did the Cotto comparison came in to play anyway?

manny pacquiao is weak competition?

its all good though you have the right to your own opinion. im just having fun here.

[el malo]

na i just wrote that just in case you did agree with him. i didnt think you would agree. dont get me wrong i like omar too, he has the potential to be great and ill root for him to do big things.

[el malo]

bump!!!!!!

[5burowz]

The kid is beastly with it, that's for sure. He sure is fun to watch.
