Steve Rolls is not that bad - change my mind

[Curtis Harper]

Also I disagree - I think Rolls lasts longer than Vanes, but then again that isn't tough to do.

Vanes imo looked fine against GGG, he didn't gas late, he just got run over because styles make fights.

Vanes is/was better than Rolls probably, but Rolls will be boxing and moving a bit more than Vanes tried to imo.

Will get him in a few rounds in.

If Rolls pulls a Mikey Garcia and only wishes to survive, he can last longer. Losing every rd hysterically is better and going to sleep I guess.

A lot of comments..but besides mentioning Rolls' age and lack of experience in 10 round fights, no one has really made a case for why Rolls is so bad.

I don't think most people even commenting on him have watched him at all or looked at his resume. Yet they come on here and act like they are experts about him lol. Just bizarre, but that's the human condition for you.

When did you become so interested in Rolls ?!?!?

Dude is 35, WITH LESS THAN 20 FIGHTS (because everyone was ducking him ?) and now you're analyzing his work because GGG dug him up ?!?!?

C'mon, now

He turned pro about 8 years ago...so 2.5 fights per year for him. Probably about average especially if he has been looking for bigger fights (his words) that haven't come yet.

Honestly man I just analyzed him because I had some time today and wanted to really see what he had. I was watching DAZN the other day and clips they showed of him looked OK so I thought I would do a little research and see what I thought.

I think he is about where Aleem or Culcay are imo. I would like to see him fight someone after GGG to see where his level is. GGG runs through anyone that isn't strong enough to hold him off and Rolls will probably fall into that category.

But from the film and a couple comparisons on the resume I don't think he is bad at all. If he was a little younger I would say he may have a little promise but at 35 this is probably it for him.

I think one of GGG's best qualities is his ability to get a guy out of there who can't compete physically with him. So unless Rolls has some pop in his right hand or ties up a lot GGG will eventually walk him down and KO him.

Running like that doesn't really work against him.

Rolls will prove you wasted your time researching him.

Answered that in another comment - saw some clips on DAZN and he looked OK, and with the fight coming up thought I would see what I felt his level is.

Lol we will see - from what I can tell he is the same level as Aleem which isn't bad. If GGG is still 80% of himself it is over within 4 rounds though. But that's what GGG does well - if you can't compete he gets you out of there.

When a person is in survival mode, you'd be surprised. Rolls will not win a single rd, for as long as it lasts.

Every no hoper has a few fans who think that no hoper will shock the world......I will be shocked if Rolls throws a meaningful punch.

Serious question - have you watched any film on him?
