    According to Luis Ortiz,plan is fo him to have 3 to 4 fights in quick succesion,to get himself in contention for a big fight.

    He's not a big HW (lost to Beterbiev in the olympics) and there are not a lot of good cruisers in the US at the moment.

    Hughie Fury only weighed in at 217½ pounds, 20-30 pounds lighter than his last fights.

    That's good in some sense but he is not bulking up.

    I think Huck is waiting to long to move to heavyweight division he is not boxer with good defensive skills to have longevity in boxing,like Wladimir or others.

    Same with Haye.He is rusty at this time and he isn't too young anymore to do 4 gruelling fights in a year.

    OK, this is something that has befuddled me a little for a while - Browne is fairly high in the rankings, on paper makes it look like he is in Parker/Joshua territory but I could be missing something but so far my calls have been pretty on the mark so I don't feel like I normally do... is he THAT good and I'm just missing the magic part?

    I've watched a few of his fights and he's clearly got strength and can throw quite quickly for a big guy at times but overall to me he seems quite flat/come forward, has marginal defense (VERY open to counter punching) and I've seem him rocked more than once by fighters who I'd not call very strong. One of the "big wins" bragged about is against James Toney which while definitely a clear win - Toney in my eyes gave Browne a fair bit of work and even hurt him a little - which if that fight was ten years ago then I'd be very impressed with that outcome, but Toney was beaten by Jason Gavern only a few months later?

    What am I missing? People are saying Chisora is past it, yet I still am dubious of this being a safe fight for a Browne who seems to treat this as a win to tick up while calling out Wilder and waiting on his mandatory against Chagaev?!

    He has been sparring with Bowie Tupou and has said that he expects Tupou to beat Parker - will be interesting to see how that pans out this Saturday, and may be an interesting gauge.

    Ummm......Pianeta is a HW, and he just got smoked by Chaggy inside a rd.
    No defense vs the smaller White Tyson.

    Is there some CW Pianeta who's holding a title that the rest of us arent aware of, or are you criticizing me for thinking Chagaev was so out of shape he might as well be shot. :think
