    name one.:think

    Huge Fury fan here, but styles make fights, and Arreola is all wrong for Fury.

    Arreola is a fast puncher, and unlike DelBoy he doesn't relent. Also, power-wise, Arreola is a far harder hitter than Del and Haye was seriously afraid of Dels power.
    Price might be the next great HW, but like most ppl agree, he's fighting fights he can't lose, and TT is another perfect style matchup for Price, and he'll be by faaaarrrr the toughest matchup for the 30 yo prospect.


    Well I've just named all 4 who you could possibly be thinking of, and none of them but Price, beat Arreola and Price still has to fight someone of Arreolas style to prove he can adjust.:huh

    today will be my first time seeing tor hammer fight. an i havent seen alot of these prospects. from what i kno of wilder he needs to prove himself agasint a decent opponent. jennings does look the best and is being moved along nicely. i still havent seen malik scott or hanks fite yet. 2 guys that im really interested in seeing. and how bout the mago guy is he considered usa ?? aint he from cali ?

    cant wait to get the chance to see hammer.

    jonathon banks is another but hes too little to beat these huge guys mostly because his chin isnt very good.


    an seth mitchell mite be able to bounce back.

    but i rate arreola the best us heavy

    Well I think he would be.:think Glazkov is good name on his record if Tor wins that fight because he is young, rising prospect. Tor has Jonhson but I dont know it is hard for me to give him all that credit for that win because 3 rds.. Although win is a win...

    Liakhovich is good name for Jennings record but he was very, very faded..

    Anyway I am sligthly favouring Glazkov over Tor hammer in this fight.

    Banks aint got an iron chin, but it's seriously underrated around here.

    Watch some of his fights. He takes punches very well actually.:good

    Liakovich looked anything but faded in his previous fight vs Helenius.

    Seems Sergei is getting throw under the bus since he was beaten in consecutive fights.

    Not saying he's still a world beater, but I think ppl are calling him faded moreso because they either underrate/hate Helenius or Jennings.

    Good to have haters when your only in your first 20 fights.:good

    I thought Liackhovich looked faded against Big Nico already.. I have given away my hopes with Helenius.. Liakhovich looked good against him because Helenius is lazy fighter who cant utilize his assets like big man should...

    Seriously?:-(

    I mean, it wasnt a yr ago that he gave Derek Chisora a very tough fight, tough enough to earn a hometown decision, WITH ONLY ONE ARM.

    Yeah he was tentative vs Williams, but that was a horrible fight to take coming off SERIOUS arm/hand injuries.

    Watch Williams fights. He's got an IRON SKULL and begs to be punched on top of it. He was showing Robbe his head the entire fight, and Robbe rightly and SMARTLY refused to bust up his hands on it.

    Let Robbe fight a Dimitrenko or a Wawryk or Rosberg next.

    He'll be back and better than ever if his shoulder aint completely destroyed.:thumbsup

    It really isn't. Arreola is utter **** and I don't mean to be hyperbolic but he has no meaningful win on his trashy resume.

    Glazkov's scalp is worth quite something although I can't really picture Hamer winning this.

    I already feel he is 2nd only to Jennings in the US h2h; this would give him the on-paper accomplishment to back it up.

    After them it's Scott, Wilder, Banks, Arreola, Mitchell, Lawrence, Hanks and Ruiz...in, uh...some order. Maybe just like that, maybe a little different. I don't feel like sorting them all right now. That's the top 10 anyway (with a little more emphasis on ability than achievement, I'll admit...typical for me...)

    Rolling your eyes at the mere idea of it happening, or at it meaning Cunningham becomes the #2 HW after only two appearances?
