Would anyone be interested in a Mansour/Thompson showdown? Winner get's a big fight, two game 43 year olds with very different styles fighting for one more shot at glory. :deal
Larry Holmes breifly had something like this that he defended against Bonecrusher Smith and I have been hoping tha they bring it back for years.
Win or loose, a fight with Mansour would still be a good one, heck, i would like to see them all face each-other. Man, Wilder vs Mansour would be fun.
I'm 100% for an oldtimers circuit like they have had forever in tennis for instance. With the possibilty for the champ to get a shot at the actual belt. At least in that case you eliminate the chances of the oldies no hopers early and give them a shot at real money.
only in the watered down K bro era can a fight between 43 year olds be something to savour as a title eliminator.
:smoke Wilders chin would not hold up to Mansours bombs... Wilder would try to Windmill his way to victory leaving himself wide open for counter shots to his glass mandible that was exposed in the amateurs and later in the pros by Buffet Kings Nichols and Sconiers and also by Firtha, Schoolboy Teacher Molina and Duhaupusss... LMAO
To me it looked like Monsour had no idea how to fight a taller fighter came up short on so many punches. Thompson isn't too quick anymore and may stay in range but he is a more experienced operator than Washington I think Washingtons success on defense was because he knew the basics of fighting tall and used his youth and feet to stay away. But he did this at a detriment to his punching. Thompson cant move like Washington did but can punch better. If he can back Monsour up its over
Who said It'd be a title eliminator? Neither are ranked top5 by any organizations. Povetkin-Perez and Fury-Chisora were the latest title eliminators.
Yeah... An Oldtimers HW title would be nice, there are lots of old dinosaurs still floating around and it's better for their well being that they fight each other instead of the new guard. Mansour and Thompson aren't ready for that kind of thing yet though :nono
