Is Omar Henry The Future Of The Middleweight Division ?

[OUTLAWRICKY]

He's fighting April 3rd and I can't wait.

I can't remember the guys name but I read about it yesterday.

Omar Henry
vs. Orphius Waite (5-0-1) from Chicago on 4/3 in Corpus Christi, on Top Rank LIVE telecast by FOXSports. Omar and Waite have history as Waite claimed a narrow victory when they faced in the 2007 National Golden Gloves quarterfinals. Waite should be confident, while Omar will be looking for REVENGE

Honestly i would like to see Omar fight every two months and get more wins and experience under his belt , before a title fight. I believe in this kid and feel like rushing him will be a dumb idea.

I would feed him to Chavez Jr , John Duddy , then work his way up. Kicking Chavez Jr's ass on PPV will be nice to watch. I believe Chavez Jr is a light Middleweight and young so i can see Omar and him fighting within the next year. Yet since Omar is Top Rank i am not sure that will happen.

manny pacquiao is weak competition?

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

No offense bro but you are very dense.

AT THAT POINT IN HIS CAREER. What don't you get about that? As in, the first 8 fighters that Cotto faced.

And no Manny isn't weak competition, that's why he ****ed Cotto's world up and made him look like a 48 year old amateur with lead in his shoes.

Sounds to me like you're a pissed off Puerto Rican that needs a hero. Trinidad was great but Cotto isn't going to fill the void, he's not very good, hate to break that to you.

You can be a fan of his but at least be able to see him for what he is.

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?

There is nothing wrong with hyping a fighter that has star qualities. He's the most exciting prospect in boxing right now.

Nobody is saying you have to buy into it, but I think he's going to be champion, the only question is when?

He's faster, stronger, and throws much better combo's than Cotto. Cotto never threw more than 2-3 punches at a time, which is why he gets clowned by punchers with any kind of speed.

he was getting owned by some bum awhile back

hopefully by the time he moves up to middle, fernando guerrero will still be there.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

By the time Henry moves to 160. He'll have to deal with Williams, Guerrero, Korobov and Lara.
