Cruiserweight and Heavyweight thread.

We need to start a petition for Rivas and bombard all of the commissions that have screwed the guy over the years. Eye issues or not he's been one of the more promising prospects for a long time. Who knows where he'd be if he had gotten those fights with Mansour and (Washington or Breazeale? can't remember which one it was) couple of years ago? @IntentionalButt

 

Maybe maybe not. But he knows the risks and wants to fight on, just like Smoking Joe. This is the hurting business. The commissions can be a buzz kill.

 

Clinical from Hunter... He might go far at HW. The other heavies who fought that night all sucked, I'd actually favor Kiladze over any of them.

 

Yea, you're absolutely right....... But that's just it, no one knows what anyone will become. From where I'm sitting, I just don't think Jalolov will be a reigning HW champ in a promising crop of talent. I can maybe see him winning one of the titles against the right fighter,but don't think he will keep it for long if he does win one. That's all Im saying, and for the record, I like the kid.

 

Romanov ( 9-0, 6 Ko's ), the 6 foot tall guy who has faced very weak competition, and failed to stop a guy with a losing record and take two other opponents barely above .500 the distance?

That's what I call going out on a limb. Hrgovic is too big, fast, and skilled with the better chin. Maybe Romanov is a better puncher, but skill wise, they are far apart.

Although it happened long ago, Romanov was stopped by Alexevv ( Hrgovic hits harder than him ) and the late Roman Romachunk.
