DERRiCK ROSSY( Heavyweight ) Opponents...

C'mon, man - wouldn't ya love to see him take out that joke Marrone?? Rossy may not sit down on his punches enough, but light-hitting cruiserweight put Marrone on ***** street. Rossy would destroy him, even with his current flaws.:yep

 

I agree, I believe that Rossy has the tools to be a very good heavyweight, its just that he came to the sport so late. Guys like Rossy, Cintron---youve got to cut these guys SOME slack, they come in from other sports, are naturally athletic, do incredibly well to get to the point they are and work hard, then we **** on them for losing to more experienced fighters. Their experience needs to catch up to their talent.

 

perhaps he should fight a treadmill, or a stairmaster so he doesnt fade against more active fighters which when he steps up again in class he'll need stamina.

 

Rossy is a raw fighter but he show glimpses of quality ability. Once he gets the conditioning in order he can look to take that step forward and fight a guy like a Zuri Lawrence and then and then a name guy like a Monte Barrett. Rossy got a good learning experience against Chambers and Iu look to him to imporve with every fight.

 

I don't think the guy'll ever be a champ, and maybe he won't be much of a "factor", but why should that mean he needs to quit boxing? There are several thousand professional heavyweights, and most of them are never going to be world-beaters, but so what? If you have a passion for the sport, you enjoy fighting, and people enjoy watching, then why not do it? When I did boxing for a while I loved it. I knew I wasn't that good, but so what, I was enjoying boxing for its own sake, not because I thought I'd become the baddest man on the planet. Frankly I respect all the more someone who just boxed because they love it, instead of because they have delusions of grandeur that far overpass their real potential.

 

Josh Cobb!

 

Willy Bonka. Are you a Long Islander??? Few outside the Island have an interest in Derric Rossy. Just curious.

 

I'd go with Marrone. He's uncoordinated and inaccurate, his boxing skill is limited, and he has a highly suspect chin.
