Tony Thompson vs. Carlos Takam discussion thread

[The Hammer]

Fearless HW ring warrior Tony Thompson will face up-and-coming Carlos Takam in France.

In an era of cautious matchmaking and a time when many boxers have been afraid to leave their home country, Thompson has always been willing to fight anybody anywhere.

Although he's slowing with age, the 6'5" Thompson is still very strong and crafty, and not an easy opponent for anyone.

Going with Takam on this one. Thinking he stops Tony late.

Tony is crazy to come at this weight when taking in account his stamina issues.

I would suggest that he will maybe try to defend ( block the shots and get on the ropes) for the first 3-4 rounds and then get to Takam.

I really like Thompson's warrior attitude. Top contenders should have his mentality.

I also respect TT for taking on all comers even in there home towns but it irks me that he clearly doesnt condition himself properly. I know he doesnt have the body type to have those 6 pack abs but 260-270 is ridiculously too high for him
