    Scott absolutely schooled, humiliated and annihilated a 22-1 guy ranked #53 in the world by Boxrec. Tupou did not land a punch.

    How can anyone call Scott a fraud after watching this? OG Malik beats everyone in the HW division except maybe Wlad. Nobody else can handle him based on this performance. There is not one HW who is as technically gifted as Scott.

    Tupou is not a threat to a capable heavyweight.

    Malik doesn't have the power to ever be a top 10 heavyweight.

    Neither is John McDermott, but that doesn't stop people from hyping Price.

    How can you knock out someone you can't land a punch on? :think

    :patsch:-(

    Why does power matter when your opponents can't land a punch on you? :think

    Imagine the same team winning the Superbowl 30+ times, it would be unbelievable.

    Haters gonna hate

    :deal
    35 consecutive Superbowls and counting.
    I hear Aussie can Mark DeMori has been calling out Scott on Twitter.
    What an absolute massacre that would be.

    It's a lot easier for top fighters if they just don't respect their opponent's power. And they will land trust me, it's not like he's a HW Willy Pep or something :roll:

    In all honesty Id give him a decent shot to beat a couple fighters in the top 10. Not an Easy target to find, great jab, knows how to use range and He's got very good hand speed. Though In all fairness thats the only time ive seen this gentleman fight and I know nothing of how good his opponent is. He seems to have a solid skillset though. Not a threat To Wlad though as he seems feather fisted.

    He spars regularly with hard hitters like Lateef Kayode, Audley Harrison and Joe Hanks so Malik knows how to deal with power.

    i like malik. not a bad performance. tupou just wasnt letting go enough, wasnt letting any areas to get countered. so i guess it was a bad clash of styles.

    not even a satisfing ending.

    but he wins. knows what he is doing well schooled and is very fast for his frame.

    Malik is very talented; a top HW for sure. Sucks he can't bust a grape.

    Always nice to see an heavyweight in shape and moving well. The top guys in the division will probably stay as far from him as they can, knowing he'd be hard to KO, wouldn't bring much cash and could make you look foolish.

    Aslong as he is in shape and doesn't look like a truckstop driver deciding to fight I'm happy.

    He has respect for the sport and it shows. He lacks power but he's got skill. I wish he threw more combinations though.
