Some say Stiverne was so bad, he made Austin look like Larry Holmes... i'm not sure, i don't want to watch that crapola.
AUstin is so ****. Words cannot describe his shitness. Watch the Solis fight, the commentators said Austin thinks his jabs like Larry Holmes
A lot of people are criticising Austin here, but he held Ibragimov to a draw. Ibragimov actualy put up a better showing against Wlad than either Chagaev or Haye.
I realise that this is not the greatest era, but I think that Ibragimov was one of the better contenders in it.
Joe Hipp was not near the worst. He was a decent fighter who people degrade because of his appearance. Sure, he was not going to win a pose down but he had good stamina, workrate and was tough as a 10 cent steak. He hung tough with Morrison, beat Alex Garcia, Jose Ribalta and a few other b-listers.
If thats Ray AUstins 5 mins of fame, drawing against Ibragimov then ....**** Ray Austin Cooney would own him.
The point is that he drew against one of the better contenders of his era. He is up against people fighting their pro debut in this thread!
have you seen the fight? if your ranking of austin is hinging upon his draw with iggy, then a viewpoint he deserved to lose could well be enough to tip him into the rademacher category (if we're limiting to those challenging the number 1 HW)
