In how many heavyweight era's would Tony Thompson be a champion?

Krasniqi was winning the fight on all cards in the 9th whereas McNeely was knocked down 11 times in four rounds, but if you'd like to write me another paragraph of horsesh it, be my guest.

 

And Floyd Patterson is a Hall of Famer, and Lamon Brewster AIN'T.

So Krasniqi won a couple rounds against one of the lesser champs in history. Then the lesser champ floored and practically obliterated him in the eighth. Then the lesser champ stopped him in the ninth.

And your argument is what?

That because Krasniqi was winning after seven round to one of the lesser champs in history before the lesser champ DESTROYED HIM ... that Tony Thompson would've been a champ, too?

Tony Thompson was ordinary. Krasniqi was a propped up German who never beat anyone good in the pros.

Lamon Brewster stopped Wlad. Lamon Brewster stopped Golota.

Tony Thompson stopped David Price. (And then failed his post-fight drug test.)

Not quite the same thing.

Tony Thompson was a gatekeeper. That's what he was. Did you ever actually watch him fight more than once? Thompson was average ... at best.

It was kind of a surprise any time Thompson was on TV and actually won. Because he never looked good doing it.

 

He was crafty I'd favor him over Wilder and Stiverne. Martin and Glazkov. He probably beat Briggs too imo. but not too many guys to be honest. I mean Price was espn prospect of the year and a medalist in the amateurs so was Solis, so even though those guys never amounted to much it showed he could defeat guys with solid amateur backgrounds and he had good measurables at 6'5 and being a southpaw. He'd cause a few problems for some ppl.

 

Ha Ha HA HA HA HA AHAHA ... I think I just peed.

Worst post of the day.

You'd favor Tony Thompson over Deontay Wilder?

Nice to meet you, Tony. I hope your wife's hip is okay.

Hope you're enjoying your retirement.

 

Her hip is fine thanks for your concern lol. And yes I feel I would easily make my way through the same resume as Wilder did to achieve my title shot against Bermane Stiverne instead of having to fight an ATG in Wlad K, in my shot at the belt.
Being that I openly called to fight Wilder and was ignored by his handlers they weren't as confident as you are but thx

 

Thompson was better than many think. Nothing special, but tall and awkward southpaw with good workrate and heart.

Keep in mind he was around 42-43 when he lost to Pulev and Takam (like 111-117 both fights), prime TT would've done better. And he was 44 when Ortiz KOd him.

Thompson's winning resume isn't very good, but he beat many fringe contenders/gatekeepers like Krasniqi, Guinn, Vaughn Bean, Mo Harris, T. Ibragimov, Solis (twice), Price (twice), Chazz Witherspoon. Far from great, but decent I'd say.

If someone thinks TT can't beat Michael Bentt or Charles Martin, I don't know what to say

He could beat Shannon Briggs if we talk about recent lineal HW champions, Briggs was very inconsistent even at his peak. Lost by KO to Darroll Wilson, dominated by Jameel McCline and outboxed by Cedrick Fields.

I can easily see TT from the 1st Wlad fight outboxing Shannon Briggs.

 

Good post

 

Between fighting four rounders and turning forty, remind me of many heavyweights Thompson lost to who weren’t named Wlad Klitschko?

Thompson>>>Golota

 

This

 

He can take Briggs to school....Briggs is overrated, he just fought bums

 

Fully agree Briggs is terrible. One of the worst lineal champs of all time. I thought Foreman defeated him and I thought Botha beat him as well (ruled a draw)
Thompson schools him easy.

 

Totally in agreement I saw the 2 fights and lost them both, his only worthy victory was with a stroke of luck

 

Solis is actually the best am heavyweight to ever turn pro. I'll admit that he lost the fights to Thompson due to deplorable conditioning, but Tony still showed up.

Price was confident and in shape, but still got his ass kicked.

 

We all agree that he'd punch a hole through Tommy Burns?
