    Even with Herbie Hide's chin you can come back. Proven by Hide after Bowe KO. Therefore I'm not writing off Izu

    I think that he can, he has the makings of an excellent heavyweight. He just needs to tighten up his defense and learn how to regulate himself.

    of course hecan. he showed decent hand speed. just needs to work on his defence. and not go all out everytime he thinks a guy is hurt... especially against someone you know is durable in braezeale. if he would of stayed calm and not gassed himself I think he could of won a Ud easily.

    He can make it back if the people looking after him are prepared to spend the money to get him the right opponents to develop his skills.

    If they're not, he will become an opponent himself.

    Breazeale was too much too soon.

    Really enjoyed that fight though. Incredible two way action for the duration.

    Maybe depends on the people around him. He's not the heaviest puncher I seen and at his age time isn't really on his side.maybe build back up with a couple a tin cans before fighting a live body.

    Ha, Herbie Hide did come to mind when i watched him last night, im not even sure if it is the way he fought or if i thought he actually looks like him a bit.

    Ofcourse he can come back from that loss but come back to what? I think we found his level last night. Hes not guna be a fixture in everybodys top 3 throughout his career.

    Herbie Hide was a 2 time WBO title heavyweight champion. There's a difference than losing to Bowe and Klitschko, and losing to Brezeale. Herbie had a period of decline like most shot fighters, but it is unlikely that Izu is going to be on that kind of level.
