Comments Thread For: Video: Tom Schwarz Breaks Down Fight With Tyson Fury

[Combat Talk Radio]

What's his amateur ranking by the way and who did he beat? And how can he have a better amateur record than Joshua, who is a olympic gold medaillist? (I'm aware that his wins were controversial)

"Better" in the sense that he has more amateur experience. Schwarz has more amateur fights than Joshua under the belt. Unfortunately, him being German means finding those fights aren't easy. I only know of 8 of them.

I'm not sure why you are using ABC rankings. They dont mean anything in terms of accomplishments or validity.

They mean that, in the eyes of people that matter, you're good enough to contend for a title.

Schwarz isnt a certified bum, but he hasnt beaten anyone and had this weird fight with gashi, in which he tried to fake a DQ win.

Some say that Andy Ruiz hadn't beaten anybody either. We saw what happened.

Objectively, Schwarz is the least deserving challenger out of Ruiz, Breazeale and him.

Breezy, a guy that arguably quit against Joshua and is ultimately the reason we were forced to watch him fight Wilder, who sparked him out in minutes.

WBO is also not really the eye test organization, it's the "Warren and Arum" organisation.

When Tim Bradley was #2 WBO before facing Manny..."eye test"

When Jeff 'The Hornet' Horn was #2 WBO before facing Manny..."eye test"

Every WBO fighter I can think of in recent memory has been a fighter coming off good wins against B-levels. That's "eye test"

Just going through the rankings, which eye test did Imre Szello pass to be ranked #1 at cruiserweight?

He fits exactly what I said. Solid KO ratio, undefeated. The trademark of a WBO ranking. It's all you need.
