Comments Thread For: Guido Vianello Aims To Be The Next Italian Great at Heavyweight

[REDEEMER]

Never heard of Conto. Thanks for that, I will keep an eye out for him. I don't think Vianello is going to be anything special but he seems like a nice guy and will hopefully do well at European level with a couple of fringe world fights.

Conto is like a young Wlad Klitschko mixed with some Marciano in there . Very skilled ,he was reportedly the only guy in Furys camp in one of his fights that didnt get blown out by Fury . The thing about being special is theres only room for 2 or 3 guys at the top holding titles so we can say that about 90% of the guys, Vianello is a tough customer dont let his looks fool you like Conto both model types but id say hes going to be a top 10 but where ? id bet on a top 5 at some point but winning a title is another story .

In the amateurs. Camarelle. Francesco Damiani if he’d stayed away from the kitchen. Also let’s not forget they had an undisputed heavyweight champion Primo Carnera 😂 Rocky Marciano is of Italian extraction of course....

Fury speaks well of him but who knows. I liked the sound of him until I realised he was a copper but now 🤮

Francesco Damiani if he’d stayed away from the kitchen.

Damiani would have been destroyed by any top heavyweight of his era, regardless of the kitchen. In his most important fight, he was dominating Ray Mercer but quit after he got hit on the nose by an uppercut.

It's been a looooong time since there has been an Italian great at heavyweight.

Saw him fight in Verona, he looked okay blowing past a no hoper. I'm not a huge fan but I would watch his next fight.

The last big push that never took off was way back when most werent even born. Few fight fans know that Kevin Rooney aquired a big Romanian heavyweight named Daniel Dancuta who was very heavy handed and great potential, unfortunatley he had one bad fight i remember against Tommy Morrisons sparring partner Jimmy Thunder and that was it . He tried molding this big guy into a Tyson but i think that was a bit to much and hurt his own style.

As of now though Guido and Conto two mentioned guys are the likely candidates to reach some title shot, i'd go with Conto ,really good talent there and wasnt far from my neck of the woods ,P.A really has great athletes .

Every bum taller than 6'5 now is being hyped up as the next great hope in the HW division until they get punched in the mouth. And boom, it's a search for the next great hope.

None of these late comers have the talent and heart to make noise in the division. Boxing isn't as easy as it looks and they need to stop hyping these bums.

Another bummer they're hyping up now is the 6'6 Pakistani boxer from Manchester that's as slow as ****e.

Have you see him fight? He wasn’t spectacular but would’ve stood up with some top 10. Be beat Tyrell Biggs I the pro and deserves the gold medal too. He was just lazy and hungry

No chance. Forget it.
