won't be long before the Klitards invade this thread and start calling Solis a fat burger lover

Solis is a fat burger lover.

Love how they try and justify what a lard ass Solis has become at the end.

[NECK SNAPPER]

solis should wait it out a little bit because i think the heavy wt divison
is going to get better in a few yrs after the klitchko's retire. right now
he gets killed by vitali who has had a great pro carear.6'1 265 will get exposed

I love watching Solis fight. Exciting fighter, Always delivers and has had a flawless (although limited) HW career so far.

Alot of his recent fights have been against really tall opponents. Vitali's a monster, but an aging one. This should be a Perfect opportunity for Solis.

It would shake things up big time in the HW div if Solis became champ, especially with Haye floating around. They had an awesome Amateur battle!

solis better not look past austin.austin is also 1 fight away from the other klitschko.he was 248 vs wlad but last i heard he was still hovering around 228-230 but who knows until we see the weigh in.austin is big & has a good jab.he has long arms & can punch.if you are going by amateur accolades solis is the easy choice here but austin has fought in bigger fights in the pro ranks.this is his 4th eliminator & hes 2-0-1...his crushing lost to wlad was a lesson learned.he wants nothing more then to spoil don kings hopes of a solis title shot.its weird because it was king who got austin all his big fights.this is by far solis toughest fight.the barrett fight was deceiving because barrett took it on 4 days notice.

Solis is a fat, burger-munching Cuban piece of **** -- Austin might even stop him.

I agree with you that Ray Austin is a decent heavyweight (he's been underrated ever since the loss to Wlad), but take into consideration he's age 40 now.
