SO! Al Sosnowski at 45-3-2 (27) KO's is a bum.?.?

His resume is not impressive, but he's no bum. He beat Paolo Vidoz, Danny Williams, Steve Herelius, and had a draw with undefeated Francesco Pianeta. You have to consider that he had no amateur background and started his career late.......having said that he can hang with most American heavyweights.

 

he is not as inexperienced as he is accused the sad part is that most americans dont know the guys he fought and the guys he fought are not great but good

 

Why is it that in boxing, fans seem to categorize a fighter who is among the 20 - 30 best in the world as a bum? Some player in the NBA who could be considered among the 30 best in the world would be a millionaire and highly appreciated for his contribution to his team. To be among the top 30 in tennis is considered quite an achievement. Sosnowski is a decent fighter, not great, but he did better against Vitali than Sam Peter, who at the time was WBC champ with just one loss.

And what's with the term Euro bum? The HW division was ruled by Lennox, now by the Klitschkos and only Haye if given a small chance to change that. The term US - bum would be far more appropriate, describing fat or delusional HW fighters like Arreola or Briggs.

 

Is Brian Nielson a great fighter?

 

sosnowski is the definition of a eurobum.

 

Was Brian Nielsen some like 70-2... i guess he is the best fighter ever then

 

Yes, he solidified his status as a bum when he lost to Lawrence. Hard to ever overcome that reality. Possible, but hard.

 

ur right..not in this era:good he is a pretty good fighter in this era...just goes to show how weak "THIS" ERA IS....

KLITSCHKOS SHOULD FIGHT EACH OTHER...ONLY TOP NOTCH COMPETITION AVAILABLE IS EACH OTHER..GIVE THE FANS THE FIGHT THEY WANT:fire

 

Are u kidding Mr. Bill? Sosnowski isn't top 30, let alone top 10. He was shutout on all 3 cards by a horrendous Zuri Lawrence!

 

He is not top10 and probably will never be. He has some serious lacks in boxing technique and in the movement, althought he is very ambitious. Maybe I am wrong. Let him beat two top15-top25 boxers, and he makes the top10. To be honest i would like to see him against Jason Estrada or Kevin Johnson. They are hard to beat (slick), so if he beats either of them I can put him in top10.

 

:bart

lets at least try to be realistic here

 

Loss to Zuri Lawrance hurts him the most.

 

Everyone mentioning the Sosnowski loss to Zuri Lawrence needs to realize that Sosnowski was sick, and only went ahead with that fight because he needed the $$$.

Sosnowski has a 50/50 chance at a few in the Top 10, imo.

wow... really.. wow.
