    What are his chances at the level of the british/european class? he seems a bit too old to make it at world level... anyone know much about his only loss?

    i can see him challenge for the british title in the next year or two but the only way he'd win is if the opponent has a terrible defence and no boxing ability. or is simply to scared to fight.
    hes strong, hes crude, he might do well in prizefighter as he could come out and blitz opponents but its not his age thats gonna hold him back, its his lack of ability.

    his skills are quite ****, i believe he got outboxed by peret who at least comes to have a bit of a go usually

    People were saying that Rogan could make it at world level.

    I laughed at them.

    I enjoy laughing at stupid people.

    he holds a win over a future world title challenger (audley)and also a win over a recent(skelton - 2008) world title challenger...what qualifies as world level?

    Crude, clumsy and cumbersome with technique so primitive it sets boxing back 500 years. Roller coaster career at domestic level is about it for big Larry O.

    gets by on his strength, but does not have the skill to make it past a domestic title.

    Larry v Towers would be entertaining for a few rounds.

    Towers fury fought? Towers would outwork him over 6 rounds.

    Might do alright at domestic level if he can knock a few guys out before he runs out of gas.

    I really hope he gets to fight an opponent who punches him back again soon. Larry will get a domestic title shot but it is hard to see him winning or going any further.....he only appeals to guys like my mate who can not understand why massive bodybuilders do not get into heavyweight boxing and take over...apparently his gym buddies are soo hard and would destroy any current heavyweight boxer in Britain...
