    Sherman ''Tank'' Williams is back this weekend!

    One of my favourite journeyman. The guys a real road warrior as tough as you can possibly get, usually finding himself getting some bull**** decision.

    The guy does not get enough credit IMO! Hes back after beating Holyfield to a pulp & a decent upset win over Chauncy Welliver in China to fight Robert Helenius this weekend!


    Hes like a big Glen Johnson.
    I think he has a chance to upset Big Bird in Finland this weekend.

    Williams is definitely (Lennox) an underrated and underestimated fighter - just axe Evander Holyfield who essentially quit after getting out punched (due to Williams' speed) and almost KO'd in their bout last year.

    However, I don't think Williams is gonna be able to negate the reach/ height advantage that Helenius poses. Plus the Nordic Nightware has a helluva punch and puts together good combo's for a big fighter.

    This is an interesting fight no doubt and credit to both guys for making this fight.

      Very interesting fight given Helenius inactivity and coming off an injury. The size difference (height & reach) is a lot to overcome but Williams has fought a lot of huge guys & is very experienced.

      I can't wait for this one.

      A big, solid heavyweight contender with big power against well, A Tank.

      Its hard to judge Helenius's performance against Chisora down to his injury but I think Williams is going to give Helenius a tough, tough fight though I feel the odds are stacked against Williams. Both guys are never in a bad fight either, got a good feeling this could add a spark to the heavyweight division.

        I'm with ya on this one - should be very interesting/ exciting fight because the contrasting styles and both guys are very motivated to win. A win for Williams puts him in the title hunt and a win for Helenius solidifies his status as top contender.

            Yeah sure, very generous odds though I don't expect 30:1 odds

            Will go upto 10 billion if you want at even odds

              he won 3 regional WBO belts with his win over welliver. he already is in contention. i think he is top 10 in WBO now.

                A win over Helenius would put him in the forefront as a credible or viable contender. Right now he's fringe contender status IMO...

                  Helenius is going down.

                    At this stage of his career, I don't give Williams much chance to pull the upset, especially in Finland. But he should give Helenius a work out.
