Foreign opposition should stay at home

I am sure you have caught him off-guard, i'm sure he wasn't expecting a question about Simon in this thread

 

Simon IS foreign, I think its a valid question.....;O)


If he even gets within sniffing distance of a world title shot (esp with this tourney going on) then I'll be amazed.

 

I don't know much about him except I remember when he beat Wayne Alexander when Alexander was seen as a big prospect, very impressive. And he beat Wright by contraversial decision in Africa, though I never saw the fight.

I've no idea how he'd far 14lbs north, but I'd think he'd have a good chance at any middleweights. He'd be favoured over Abraham IMO, due to his work-rate and I don't remember his chin or toughness ever being in doubt. Pavlik is a different story, completely different style and I might favour Pavlik slightly.

 

If Simon fought Abraham then I might actually win an avatar bet against you. :good

 

Not if its in Namibia at altitude in the mid day sun.

 

..with Dave Paris as ref.

;O)

 

I thought we were talking about a prime Harry Simon anyway. **** knows what he's like anymore.

 

Good words, yes i wanted a reply, you dished one.

Though i wonder/question your thoughts regarding Pavlik.

He seems too straight forward to me, even the simple 1-2, of course i respect and do like him. I think Cal, would of "Lacey'd" Pav, i really do.


Cheers......but what makes you question Simon to Pav ?

Cheers :thumbsup

 

Well that explains at lot!!

I figured you'd gone mad, he's on a comeback at 168 at the age of 38.

 

From Bolton, Columbia?

 

:thumbsup, Columbia, South Carolina

TFFP/Gazoc, to be fair, a fighters as good as there last fight aye ?

I ask again.....given this.........Harry Simon Vs the top Super Middles and Middles ?

TFFP...........how do you see it ?

Cheers

 

Based on this logic, I don't see any of the current crop of middles to super-middles giving Simon too many problems.

 

Looks like a racist putting khan as his avatar trying to make khan fans look bad. poor attempt.

 

Under normal circumstances yes, whilst allowing for the effect of styles on how 'good' a fighter looks in his previous fight. However, when they've had one fight against a novice in the last two years, and seven fights in the last decade some doubts could be raised

Besides, I didn't see his fight in 2007 to know how 'good' he was.

At his prime I think he's a good shot at Abraham for the reasons I mentioned, Pavlik less so because Pavlik really does use his physical advantages well at middleweight, he's extremely long, hard hitting, and has a big output of punches. I havn't seen Simon at middleweight to know how he'd cope with that.

At the moment I wouldn't give him much hope against either. A wild Chimpanzee could tell you with some degree of certainty that a man that has had seven fights in the last decade and has not fought in two years, is 38 years old and is stepping up to fight a world class middleweight...is a long shot. Just common sense, forget the names involved.

 

I think you are onto something there.
