He could be good, but he needs to get back in the 225 range, increase his stamina, and work on his defense. "Next champion" is probably a little soon, but I can see him being moved as quickly as Povetkin, if not faster, if he can stay motivated.
210?? He cant go that low again, 230 would be good!! 210 pounds is TO low these days for a heavyweight. But i have no doubt that he will be champion!
Not sold on him yet, he gained a hell of a lot of weight from his amateur fights to his pro debut. Also, most Cuban fighters (especially the heavyweights) tend not to pan out when they go pro.
The guy has had 3 pro fight's. Rahman would take his head off, As for Guinn he would once again look like a world beater. I don't care how much talent he has, He needs loads and loads of experience. AND Discipline. (He reminds me of a Young HW James Toney in that department)
Nice thread JayCuban ... He is one of the best prospects today. Solis and Povetkin are future, but time will tell us who is best. My opinion for the Solis is that doing great job with Arena Box Promotion but he must to go from next fight in the six rounds. He have brilant amateur carear and dont need to wiat to long , he must to attempt world title in his 15 match because he have experince for that. I afraid that he took a lot weight and that can be problem for him in the future. Solis is good fighter, he have three big wins over good europian contenders.
how can he be the NEXT heavyweight champion when there is already a championship fight lined up to crown a new heavyweight champion
To be honest, Solis didn't impress me at all last fight He's not in very good shape, he needs to lose some weight IMO.
Oh boy this is going to be fun. Zelenoff is also known as ViciousBoxer77 and before that Russianboxer. He claimed to be able to knock out Peter Manfredo in sparring and is dilusional about his boxing skills. Also, he claims to outboxer "Heavyweight" boxers often. Aside from that, he has been called out repeatedly by another poster on here Bazooka since both their gyms are supposed to be close and Zelenoff never replied. He only made youtube videos talking crap on camera which are pretty amuzing. Here's one of them.
