    De Leon / Nelson kicks my ass. But don't spread the word, sometimes I still catch a noob out by extolling the furious (imaginary) action in the middle-late rounds :D

    It's 11:15 here, and guess who can't sleep? :xqw

    Going to go take another try in 5 ...

    Ward would be tiny compared to AJ and although hes more skilled the size would be too much. Hes not Koing AJ so hes going to have to keep that Rhino off of him for 12 rounds and i dont think thats going to happen. I think AJ ends the fight as soon as he catches him clean or wears Ward down with his size and finishes him by stoppage late.

    Ward against somebody like Usyk would not work out well for 'dre.

    lol Speaking of Nelson, I'd love to see Corrie's fight against him. Heard Corrie dropped him x 4 but I've never seen any footage of it. Not even sure if it was filmed.

    lol Good luck getting off. I fell asleep for half an hour max lol

    Usyk would spark him out cold. Terrible match up for CoWard. Usyk has very fast hands (much quicker than Kov), great punch variety, blazing fast combos, a very good chin, too slick, high ring IQ, crazy skilled and athletic, and he's too big.

    CoWard avoids certain styles too.

    Nelson actually wrote a somewhat fanciful description of the fight in his memoir:

    https://books.google.co.za/books?id...nepage&q=johnny nelson corrie sanders&f=false

    I have collected every Sanders fight I could find, but the Nelson fight I do not have or I would send it to you :( Just gotta keep an eye out on youtube. Sometimes guys post these for a while and then their accounts inevitably get deleted.

    Great stuff thanks for sharing. Enjoyed reading that. Yes I think that was definitely a bit on the fanciful side. Corrie weighed 18st? More like 16st, Johnny lol. He was ''so slow''? And I'm sure the report of their fight I read said Sanders dropped him x 4 too

    Thanks. I've never seen or even heard of any footage of that fight, not even a brief HL. Hopefully something might surface one day, if indeed it was actually filmed.

    :thumbsup:

    I would fancy Beterbiev against lower level HWs.....like the 'competition' Wilder usually faces.
