Boswell TKOs Greenburg in 2nd!

That was Colin Hart not Watt.
I think it was Beeston Brawler that brought that up on another thread a few weeks ago.

 

His fight with Francis was one of the more dull ones I saw the year in which it took place...

Never thought he would get anywhere...boring, boring fighter too.

 

I saw Greenburg fight in Madison Square Garden in 2007. He is strong and his hands are fairly quick, but his overall body movement is ponderous and he is easy to hit.

Guys like Greenburg are always taking risks when they face big punchers. Without a good defense or a cast iron chin, they tend to get knocked out.

 

Greenburg would need to train much harder than he does and lose weight. In training much harder, his stamina, endurance and conditioning would improve. On top of that he'd need to his improved stamina to up his awful workrate (from what I've seen anyway). Then he'd need a coach to improve his entire game - inside fighting, combos, body work, defence etc

Greenburg can improve. My only problem is the disgusting hype around him. I don't mean it rudely but he deserves absolutely no hype. People moan about Khan getting hype but he deserves it. Is it because Greenburg is white or Jewish that he gets hype??? I don't get it.

 

Greenberg is no prospect.

 

You can only be disappointed when you expect something to happen and it doesn't. Nothing was expected of any of those men.

 

Exactly. People need to stop putting hope in such weak looking fighters. From the word go these guys don't show any potential to be anything remotely close to a great. I mean that is what we are after isn't it! A great heavyweight who can take over and dominate. An Ali, Tyson, Holmes, Lewis etc

Funnily enough, the closest we have to that is still the Klitchskos and it has been since just before Lewis retired and it will stay that way for the forseeable future!

Unless Haye has something to say about it

Haye and Povetkin are probably the only chance at the moment. Hopefully Povetkin will have some answers for the likes of Wlad and Vitali. If he doesn't then he can't achieve what we want.

 

Mix it with the top 10 ???? Get sparked by anyone in the top 10 u mean.....

 

Noooooooooooo !:nut

 

Stuey,
Are the trainers at your gym following the Nobby Nobbs business model?

 

He might be a nice guy but that does not mean anything in the ring.

It is quiet funny because many of us always thought he was an average plodder with nothing world class about him (not even fringe world class).

If anyone thought he was a prospect then they need their heads checking.

 

His Handlers should have sacked Him years ago, waste of space.

 

Sadly, that's the fight that really soured me to Greenberg as well.

Dreadful fight, Francis slowly plodding forward into a steady hail of about 6 punches a round from the retreating Greenberg. Bloody awful, the only fight worse than Byrd-Williamson I've seen in recent years.

 

Theres a better one than that. Hyland said Matthew Ellis was going to be the worlds first billion pound athlete,
