    I caught a couple of McNeelys fights when the Tyson comeback fight was announced. Immediately I thought, not this guy may actually roll Mike right over.
    That night at Hooters, I was proved horribly wrong. Then, after watching 3-4 more of his fights, when actually in with Clevel fighters like Butterbean etc, it became horribly apparent that McNeely would be KOd inside a round by Paulie Malinaggi.:lol::lol::lol:

    yeah, that night was a revelation of the greatness of McNeely's handlers.

    How they manage to find 40-plus guys that he can actually beat. King of tomato cans.

    gotta be a troll thread.... povetkin is pretty solid for today's standards (and maybe other eras too) but was there for the taking against chambers and has barely had a real test since and has no problem running from the klitchkos over the past 4 years. he sounds more like bruce seldon, then holmes or spinks

    Agreed, Tysons toughest fight was Bruce Seldon but I think Seldon was payed off to throw that fight.

    Holmes was a bum not worthy of shining Povetkins shoes!
