Tony Thompson fights owen beck on espn!

[joe strong]

Thompson is probably the most avoided Heavyweight aside from the Klitschkos.

He fared better against Wlad than anyone else has the past 5 years and he poses a lot of problems for any of the other top 10 heavyweights.

I agree...he's big,he's a southpaw,he can box & has decent power & chin...tough for anyone.he challenged peter,solis,&arreola but none would sign to fight.

IMO Thompson is really the only top heavyweight who is a consistent combination puncher. People don't like him because he lacks great power but I really enjoy watching him fight.

He is excellent at throwing short, compact punches in close quarters where normally the smaller man has the advantage.

The guy is a big crafty ****er. I always wished for him to fight Dmitrenko.
