    What about Amir Mansour? He is fighting Dominick Guinn on 8-19 if he wins hes a contender. Look at the size of those biceps, he is a big puncher.

    Nope, he's 38 and those biceps mean nothing to me.

    Agreed about the biceps. If you were born with a punch, THEN biceps do spice up your hooking shots. Other than that, muscles =/= big punch. I'd be interested in watching this guy though. Its not like the HW division uses much of the ring, so I'm sure a 38 year old will have no problem staying in one spot the whole fight :patsch

    :rofl

    Edit: He looks like a southpaw, maybe he will need some speed.

    This guy is the truth. He's a young 38 with little wear and tear on him. I'd pick him over almost anybody in the division right now.

    He looks like an older homosexual.

    He might have been the Cop in the Village People at one time. :good

    Well he was in prison for along time.

    You would, ok. How many fights have you seen of his? Describe his style.

    He's also pretty short(by modern HW standards) from what I've heard. Looks like he's got an uphill battle.

    Now all he has to do is avoid ginger serial killers, crazy british girls, and propane tanks and he should do alright.

    Guinn is still fighting? I have never seen this guy, anyone have a video of him? Looks a lot like he's too pumped up, but any new guy one scene is interesting, division needs it.

    His last fight his weight jumped from 217-223 range up to 235 pounds. Muscle or fat? A jump in weight that large at age 38 is unusual. He is a southpaw, might be interesting fighter.

    He has power, there is no doubt about it. I am actually looking forward to seeing how his career turns out. He is a throwback to the 90's era of heavyweight boxing, which I sorely miss.
