Rate these fighters: Tszyu, Arbachakov, Nazarov

You're a weirdo why do you keep quoting yourself? To prove you were once wrong?

If so, fair play.

Anyway, negotiations have begun for me to get my hands on the 2nd Thobela fight within a week or so. Will upload it when I do :good

Both fights were in South Africa. Nazarov the road warrior :deal

 

Nails.

 

Nazarov was a baddass.. But Tszyu is my hero for what he did to Zab!..So I put Tszyu at the top Flea.

 

BTW Tszyu is the only one of the three that is on a the HOF and he was a first ballot inductee, and from what i have heard Arbachakov and Nazarov arent even in the ballots to be voted in, they induct a guy like Mark Johnson in the first ballot and they dont even consider Arbachakov who arguably has a better record than Johnson to be inducted in thats a ****ing joke, Watanabe,Moon,Roman and Benn are also others that arent even in the voting ballots.

 

Marcel, Zapata, Gushiken, Yuh, Jeffra; none of these are in.

I'll speak to someone and see if Arbachakov can get on next years.

 

Orzubek the overall greatest?! No way.

You need to rename this and get Grigorian in here :deal

 

I saw him...against Freitas :-(

 

Arbachakov was never quite active enough either.Relatively low workrate for a Fly, which is a big part of why a lot of his title fights were quite close.Waited too long to let his hands go, especially the great left hook he had.

The fight against Toguchi, where he did let his hands go a lot(despite being past his peak)he looked spectacular at times.Toguchi was the kind of awkward mobile, unpredictable fighter that had given him problems before(zamudio, Cha etc) but he was dismantled.Must have really pissed Yuri off.

Grigorian was very good from 95-99\00 but he lost a lot physically early on, much like Yuri, his shoulders and hands were shot to bits by 00 and after it he was mostly a calzaghe-esque cuffing puncher .He fought with more cuteness than these three, but didn't have the same power and with his opposition being what it was most would have him last.basically a wasted career.

I do have some doubts if he was athletic enough to fight the way he did against the better fighters the division has had, a lot of the time he would slide into perfect punching range and let the opponent get off first, or go into some low semi-crouching angle with his gloves cupped under\around his chin.Not unlike a lot of the greater defensive and slip\counter fighters would when showboating or looking to set bait for countering.

Except he didn't quite have the reflexes to do it as often as he did without taking a few needless straight shots in the forehead\nose each round before getting in the counters.

He'd need to adapt a bit or be willing to take a fair amount of scuffing punches against better fighters, though he seemed to have a strong chin and was very busy and accurate.

 

There's his fight with the immortal Marty Jakubowski

and violently ending any hopes Michael Clark had of a proper career, though this was a messy fight and near the end of his prime, injuries beginning to pile up.

Lora I'm not seeing anything. Are you sure that this dude is real?

 

He's well known in Peru:yep

 

Both Grigorian and Nazarov get punished in my all-time standings for having shocking hair cuts.
