    Anyone out there still think Solis is "gonna be a force"

    If so, get in this thread so I can laugh at you.

    Whenever Solis' name gets mentioned there are always a few "he just needs to get down to 225, he'll beat Wlad easy if he does that"....."He's got all the tools"....."he's one of the most skilled ever"

    33, fat and a busted knee.

    Anyone still belive?

        I was a big fan of his before and after the Vitali fight.

        But when the Adamek fight didn't happen is when I lost interest. As you said, going on 33, overweight consistently. Plus the knee doesn't help.

        If Wladimir retires real soon Solis might make an impact, but that would be because the division would be so trash. But I don't see Solis making a big impact.

              Depends, still. He needs to stay very active now and stay injury free. Only then we could tell.

                He just has to be real careful who he's matched up with. He's not taking it serious enough! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLOnVBx_yqc

                  needs to get down to 210-215. 225 is still soft dudes only 6'1 with a 79 reach. He's a small heavyweight under all that mass which is why hes got no chin.

                    I was really expecting one of the first replies to be: 'A force at the buffet table maybe!'

                    I think he's decent but the fact he is fat actually sort of cheapens the sport. So I hope not.
