Toney needs to retire. I say this as a dude who liked him and really liked him after his Jirov WAR. But, he's sad to look at now.
Pov beats Grant, if Adamek was able to go inside and land to his head repeatedly, the so will Povetkin, plus Sasha punches harder than Tomasz, I'd see a late KO win for Sasha
Yeah today's old fighters are really showing it but 45 year old Foreman was pulling jeeps around and **** and 48 year old Foreman was shoving Shannon Briggs around the ring. I just wish a fight happened on time for once. How many fighyts in the last 2 years have been postponed due to injury or some thing like that? It's sick.
I think if Grant got the call he could be ready soon. He still has 1 punch KO power. Problem with Grant is he fights like once every 3 years! He says he wants big fights but then he disappears forever. I think they could land him as a replacement. But it wont happen. They're gonna let the rust build up on Povetkin and let him gain more weight and then put him in with some bum. In all honesty a young supposedly hungry guy like Povetkin should have fought already. The Huck fight was a long time ago.
toney should never fight again . i actually kinda like him but i hate to say it but hes a proven cheat. n hes punch drunk like a mother ****er for his safety n health concerns he should take no more blows to the head
vargasfan did ya get my message? just checkin. didnt hear from ya. I'd like to see any1 of relevance against povetkin at this point - but according to Cohen (rahman's promotion team) there IS an injury cause. Therefore, sit, wait, and watch the rescheduled fight.
Grant's problem with Adamek was Adamek's movement. Pov doesn't do that and is typically around to be hit. From what i saw Adamek was landing but not at a rate suggestive of Grant's reflexes being shot or anything. Adamek's pretty quick for a hw. Not saying Pov don't beat Grant, but if Grant had stayed in shape and built on the experience with Adamek (which i saw as a fairly close fight) I could see him giving him a descent fight. When grant caught up with Adamek he hurt him and again povetkin ain't gonna be hard to find (i know it works both ways). Long story short, although i haven't seen Rahman lately i'd lay 10:1 that grant would put up a better fight than him judging from what i saw of rahman 4-5 years ago and judging by rahman's inactivity and woeful opposition
Rock's still got his power, just slower than previous days. Rahman would hurt him,, be interesting to see this fight but we gotta wait to see what happens now.
It's a shame with Grant. He sounded fully committed around the time of the Adamek fight. Grant should just do what other 90's hws did like briggs, rahman, and even golota in 05: fight whatever bums he can get a fight with. If he gets some ko's or even wins, he's likely more attractive so other ranked guys will see the reward in fighting him. He can't just wait for a descent fight because he won't be on the top of anybody's list cuz there's little reward in beating him (due to inactivity and he hasn't been relative in almost 10 years) and with his size and the not too bad form vs adamek, he'd be pretty risky for the average contender/fringe contender type
