Tony ''Tiger'' Thompson Is A Very Good & Underrated HW.

[TheGreatA]

They should have a tournament between American heavyweights, say Thompson, Chambers, Kevin Johnson and Arreola, perhaps with the likes of Austin, Guinn or Estrada added in.

Thompson would win it easily.

I don't think there is a heavyweight in the world who would beat Thompson who isn't named Klitschko.

Thompson seems like a good guy, but I've never been overly impressed with anything he does. He's just a solid, hardworking heavy with an unspectacular but effective wearing down style that thus far has enabled him to amass a record of 34-2-0. If he were fighting in the 90s he would be at journeyman level. That's not a diss, just a comment on the state of the division in today's day and age (which isn't the worst ever, as a lot of people like to crow, but far from its glory days).

yeah people are just blind prior jealous, when I started to watch boxing I thought "damn, Klitschkos are boring to watch", but I didnt know what it means to appreciate ring smartness in the unlimited heavyweight division. some years ago people and retired fighters used to say " one punch at heavyweight can end the fight", at the lower fight classes you can make it a war and throw many punches, but it didnt hurt as when a Heavyfight throws a 1-2. Klitschko brothers are smart fighters in and outside the ring, they are their own promoters.

Chambers, Fast Eddie Chambers destroyed Dimintrenko a Klitschko-sized fighter and almost knocked him out, but against a Klitschko he couldnt do **** cuz he didnt know how to answer Klitschkos skills and power.

people use to say Klitschkos win cuz of their size. I say BS...what about fighters like Harrison or Grant, they dont have half the ability of the reign champs.

Vitali took a 4 year layoff and make one of the strongest comebacks of the decade. go figure...take a 4 year layoff at HW and comeback to not only fight journeymen but dominate the division and win a major belt.

both at a stage in their career where other veterans would have been faded and knocked out brutally.....

The Champions have to call the contenders out, LOL....not as usual the other way round.....

Klitschko brothers are living legends and we should celebrate them.

and Ill start right now. Klitschko brothers are ATG
