Chris Byrd: "Joe Hanks is the future of HW Boxing"

[U_TALKING_2_ME?]

From what i have seen he is athlete fighting instead of being a athletic fighter, meaning just like one of these ex football players who crossed over to boxing como Seth Mit and fighters like that will beat some because they a better athletes then their opponents at first but when they step up they get exposed.
To me I think Ruiz is more of a real fighter but if Hanks can beat him he will have a good career in my estimation.

Hanks hasn't done anything to set himself apart, Andy Ruiz Jr has some good handspeed and a bit of talent but he's really poorly conditioned so I find it hard to take him seriously, if he really wanted it he'd be in shape, it's unprofessional to look like that.

Crazy thing is Ruiz has lost 50 pounds since his pro debut. He was 300 pounds! Lol

Haven't seen much of Hanks. I have seen Ruiz though and that big man has some skills. You'd think with a body like Arreola he wouldn't be able to move well but from what I've seen his footwork is solid.

I'll have to look into hanks see if I can find some fights, I only recall seeing a quick KO of his.

Think i got a couple in my collection... Link in my signature

chris, you're "going to toot his horn"?? c'mon maaaan you should have most definitely said, "NO ****" after you said that. that **** sounds suspect

I have yet to see Hanks fight but I am going to watch him vs Ruiz.

[VatoMulatto]

Maybe Hanks isn't the future. Would still like to see more of him....

Looked like a poor mans Audley Harrison.

Looked like a poor mans Audley Harrison.

That sums him up accurately.

I was rooting for Hanks because I don't want to see a fatass like Andy disrespecting the sport with his blubber. But I thought Ruiz would probably still be better and he was. It's ridiculous to be talented like that and fat. There's not excuse for being healthy 23 and a pro athlete and 30-50 pounds overweight! Too bad for both of them.
