    He's just a C+ Fighter.. Wlad took a total of 18 rounds to knock him out twice. Wlad was scared shitless of Thompson.. who had limited power and limited ring intelligence.

    Look he's a good lad and a good chap and all.. but he was just a C+ Fighter.. who knocked out a D- one tonight..

    He's a C+ Fighter with devastating one punch knockout power.

    He's really more of a B- fighter. Ray Austin is a C+ fighter. :yep

    Let me translate that for the late Manny Steward (RIP)

    'I want to say nice things about this C+ Rated fighter because 1- he's a nice person and 2-Wlad who is my current fighter is fighting him..

    If Thompson is a C+ fighter, why did Chambers duck him in 2011-12?

    Big ups to Price for taking on the challenge. I thought it was around 50/50 up till the weigh-in...then I thought it was likely Price's to lose. But Thompson pulls it off.

    Thompson deserves to be in the Top 10 among heavyweights. Probably around 6th, behind K2, Haye, Pulev, and Povetkin. Thompson should replace Arreola or Boystov in the Ring rankings.

    Thompson vrs. Fury would actually be very interesting. Probably more of a brawl than Cunningham/Fury will be, since Thompson wouldn't have the speed to elude Fury and would have to stand and fight.

    I have always been impressed by Thompson, he just isnt as good as the Klits giving us the perception that he is a C class fighter, when he is not

    Thompson is a B to B+ fighter. In his prime he beats everyone in the division right now nit named Klitschko.

    Hell he would likely beat povetkin right now.

    Not as overrated as Price, alot on the British forum actually thought he was better than Fury who is also overrated

    Haye is by miles the best British HW and the 2nd best HW on the planet (vitali stop ducking)

    Shut the **** up. Tony Thompson was always a good fighter with decent power & a good jab. Not the best footwork or speed but he put together some nice combos & outboxed a good boxer in Krasniqi.
