    If I was EH I would be banging the body of Ibragimov. What do you guys think?

    Didn't see the pics yet..but 219 is a good wieght for Iggy. 211 for Holy? Seems a little small for him.

    The body is the key.I'm sure the softness of Sultan hasn't gone unnoticed by Commander Vander.Even ancient versions of guys like Holyfield beat second raters like Sultan everytime.

    Some old time trainers insisted that a guy with Ibragimov's type body could take a body shot better than a man with a Holyfield type body. I don't know how true that is though.

    Regardless of what the pictures look like, bodywork is always prudent.

    I disagree, Iggy looks in great shape, a full 14 pounds lighter than against the overachieving Ray Austin. I believe Sultan is in around the best shape of his career, as his record would indicate. I don't see fat here like some are implying.

    Ibragimov is in good shape - very good shape, in fact, for him. But Holyfield should go to the body as every good fighter would.

    Don't be fooled by the waistline, If he has solid muscle behind that fat he will take body shots better as he won't be just relying on solid muscle to absorb the shots.
