    Thanks for that.

    Like I say, i am relatively ignorant about these things. They mentioned on commentary last night that he had developed a feint lately. I noticed that too, from the last time I saw him against Scott Belshaw. Would it be a step back to take on Peret again. Not to exorcise demons but to put into practice all these skills developed. In beating larry before and being resilient enough against dallas last night, is Peret not the type of fight he should be looking at again?

    I just say that as he said he feels he needs one or two fights before stepping up.

    Nobody is saying he's world champ material.

    He's an exciting all-action heavyweight who actually makes the effort to get himself in shape. How can you be so low on a guy like that, especially a late bloomer trying to make good?

    If someone taught Larry how to actually throw a shot properly instead of pushing them out he would likely kill someone.

    u cant call larry a bum u can tell the guy wants to do well for himself and takes the game seriously like taking himself over to the wild card gym to learn even more.

    whatever he does u know he's going to be in exciting fights with the power he's got even if he's struggling to cope in a fight u know he could always turn it around with his power.

    He will lose when he steps up into the class of Shrek again.

    Would love to see Olubamiwo smash Fury to bits.

    Fair play to him, he's not big headed, and just wants to learn and get better.

    And his nickname says it all: THE WAR MACHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    he is exciting. you can put him in with any HW in the country and it will be an exciting fight to watch whether he wins or not.

    you don't have to be Mayweather for people to wanna watch you.

    The guy in my avatar is a GOAT there is no shame in loosing to him.

    Olubamiwo is a nice guy, has an entertaining style, cares about improving and training with the best, has huge power. What is there not to like? So what if he lost, Emanuel Agustus has lost tonnes of fights but he is still a great and popular fighter.

    I feel sorry for someone that calles a fighter a bum just because they loose or they are not AMAZING, until you do better **** off and stop calling him a bum.
