Cruiserweight and Heavyweight thread.

That was just a bit of rhetoric on my behalf! Yes those were pretty lackluster performances. Lets hope he's mentally a different fighter to his WSB days. But I guess with dominant performances over Minto, Costa jnr, Nascimento et al, he's proven he's exciting but obviously not yet world class in any stretch of the imagination.

Would like to see Parker vs Szpilka, Chisora, Hammer this yr some time which will give a better indication of his talent

 

I think you're looking into things a bit too much.. Parker is just a kid, wasn't he a teenager in those clips???

I couldn't quote your entire post because of stupid ESB rule that doesn't allow people who hasn't posted for so many days to post links(even if it's just quoting someone) Dumb rule.

 

Yeah, he was young and to be perfectly honest he seemed to be a bit un-driven and maybe didn't quite have that will to win. I think K.Barry is keen on pulling the killer out of him. Today you'd like to think he'd demolish the likes of Heredia etc.

 

Trey Lippe returns this weekend against the 5-2 Richard Dawson.

 

Chris Arreola vs Curtis Harper

 

Hopefully he doesnt find himself weighing 300lbs in the coming yrs.

Don't know what it is about Cuban AMs blowing up in the pros, but they have like a 90% risk of obesity once they start making real $$$.:blood

I think it's clear that Mago was more of a GGG of the HW division.

It took someone with an iron chin, perfect CPing, a great stiff jab, and good power to beat him. His corner, and the NYSAC, ended his career, and sadly, we'll never know how a fight between Mago and Wlad woulda went down.:think

 

Isn't Richard Dawson the guy Andrew flintoff beat? :rofl

 

Im possitive, especially considering Heredia has gained almost 100lbs since he fought Parker, and ALL FAT, while Parker has gained 20-30lbs of pure muscle.:good:good:good

 

Chisora or Hammer would be solid fights, but not sure either one's team is ready to risk their careers fighting a prospect with little financial benefit, especially considering theyre both coming off tough Ls.

Szpilka is a DEFINITE no go, unless Parkers team wants to fight his corpse, since he will undoubtedly be fed to Deontay Wilder as his first HW title defense.

 

Comeback fight I understand.....but this is pathetic even for someone like Seth Mitchell or David Price's standards.atsch
