This guy is undefeated in 37 fights but his two best opponents have probably been Melvin Foster W SD and Sedrick Fields W MD. He's 34 years old. When is this guy going to step up in class. He's fought eight guys with more wins than losses. I think only five opponents have made it the distance with him. He's 6' 7". Maybe he and Tye Fields could go at it.
he is better than tye fields. he actually boxes well, just fat and a low workrate turn him in to a sideline trick undefeated untested and this goes to every fighter in the world
Faruq Saleem is well known in the NY state heavy scene as a very predictable yet carefully matched guy who only fights when he feels he needs to. He was somewhat of a prospect years ago but has remained unbeaten and lost all real ambition.. Lazy really but a decent man to have in camp or the gym as a respectable sparring partner. Bottom line, Faruq isn't that special any more, he is just proud of his unbeaten status, and isn't prepared to risk anything any more..
Hmmm. I kind of gathered that since he hasn't been terribly active. Maybe if the prospect of a high dollar fight came up he could become motivated.
That is a possibility, but trust me , look at it like this, when food that was once regarded as the finest (fillet Mignon) is left out of the fridge for a long period of time.. It does go very crusty and stale.. Unbeaten or not , he is a BUMP waiting to happen, and that is why he rarely fights any mo..
Im sure he'd fight for the right money. He's the type of guy who has the record a up and comming prospect wouldnt mind on his record!! Someone like Odlanier Solis Fonte who'd beat Saleem easily but has the mney behind him to drag Saleem into the ring! Actually the more i think about it the more sense this fight makes sense for Solis!
he hasnt fought since october of last year but talks on his myspace like he is beating down the rest of the worlds heavies doors fighting all the time. pretty funny and he probably fools most of the myspace masses who wouldnt know a boxer from an accountant
"the boxing real estate buying and seller" :think yeah ding is a cpa technician on a high scale i heard he was tryign to create his own company. where the hell has ding been i kinda miss him to be honest :| i liked the feelign of conversating with somthign that moved up the rankings on boxrec really engaging. im surprised not many top pros have an account on here
