    It's ok... The fight 2 weeks from now, and the undercard bouts preceding it will more than make up for tonight's lackluster action. Heck, Chakhkiev or Kudryashov probably could have came in and whooped either one of these guys and STILL fought on this card :lol:

    And they aren't even heavyweights, even though they have frames to be.

    True, but they all suck.

    The heavyweight division right now is basically Klitschko, Jennings, Povetkin, Takam, Perez - and then a big wide sea of SUCK.

    Thought you were high on Parker, and Joshua as prospects? Guess they can't be considered true world operators until they prove themselves, but they look to be the goods.

    Yeah, they're more the "state of the division" come 2017 or so, when the K2 era is over and the power vacuum is ready to be filled.

    ofc its a wind up. Hughie fury would school both dawejko and mansour in the same evening. let alone tyson fury.

    Just watched the fight. Some notes:

    - Amir Mansour came in too light: should have been 15 pounds heavier
    - Joey Dawejko came in overweight: should have been 15 pounds lighter
    - Amir Mansours speed is insane for an almost 43-year old
    - Dawejko is actually skilled, but not being in shape made him lose the whole second part of the fight
    - Both guys are top-30 heavyweighs

    Next for Mansour: Gaining weight again and fight a contender. Rematch with Cunningham, Fedosov, Szpilka, Arreola, Tarver, Lucas Browne, Joseph Parker, maybe Price in the UK would be good options.

    Next for Dawejko: Losing weight and move to 215 pounds and he beats someone like Chisora easily. He is still young, so he needs to build up a winning streak again against boxers like Curtis Harper, Joshua Tufte, Jarrell Miller, etc.

    You cannot be serious. He had how months to prepare for this fight? It was actually him to call out Mansour. And he came in like a white Solis, shown nothing but a few counters then got completely worn off by the 5th round. 5 rounds and hes done. Clearly he lacks the discipline. As much as Chisora is a mediocre fighter, suggesting Dawejko would beat him "easily" is simply ridiculous. Hes not a top 30 HW, barely a 100.

    It's not my fault he is fat. I'm just saying if he was in decent shape, he would box the ears of someone like Chisora. If he's in shape, he is a top 30 HW. But probably like Solis or Arreola, he won't be in decent shape in his career.

    Lol that's quite an overstatement. Lets say top 4:

    Klitschko
    Povetkin
    Wilder
    Fury

    Which means: in no particular order:
    Tony Thompson
    Mike Perez
    Bryant Jennings
    Kubrat Pulev
    Erkan teper
    Anthony Joshua
    Vyacheslav Glazkov
    Ruslan Chagaev
    Carlos Takam

    And many others are utter sh*t

    I liked the fight though i keep suspecting Mansour is on peds. Dawejko needs to change his style to suit his body type more.

    Wilder, Fury, Teper and old Chagaev are shit. The first two are protected frauds and soon to be humiliatingly KTFO in epic fashion, any time out now. Teper is ridiculously mediocre; why did you even mention him? Chagaev is shot to bits.

    The rest are not, admittedly. (though Glazkov is poor for an elite, and very inconsistent)

    That's still just single digits. Nine quality heavyweights, that's it. Two of them (Klitschko and Thompson) very old.

    That leaves the future of the division in the hands of Povetkin, Jennings, Pulev, Joshua, Perez, Takam, and maybe Glazkov.
