    Yet you provide no intelligent ****ysis based on actual results of their fights or their fighting styles. Your posts have been nothing but anti-K gibberish in a thread that has little to nothing to do about him. Your credibility and objectivity are effectively zero which is a shame because you seem to have rational comments about anything not associated with the heavyweight division.

    I just think that SI has very good defense and won't get nailed by a big shot that drops him and is able to get in and out against TM.

    I don't think that is unreasonable because we have seen him do that before.

    He was given all the space and room in the world to get 'in and out'.

    Austin still backed him up and dropped him. Austin is terrible. Iggy fights Tommy weather he likes it or not. Morrison was a better fighter.

    I sure don't see the left hook of Morrison landing against this guy and his defense. And if you take away or nullify that left hook, what else does that really leave to win with?

    Iggy lopsided decision for me.

    That looked a bit like Morrison-Bennt.

    Admittedly i havent seen too much of Ibragimov.

    But with Morrisons chin, anything can happen.

    Ray Austin pretty much sucks, thats my honest opinion of him. I remember during the Solis fight, even the commentators were making fun of him because apparently Austin said he has the best jab since Larry Holmes!

    I think you're selling Morrison a bit short, he could throw some fast, powerful combinations. He wasnt just all left hook.

    How do you see the fight playing out then?

    Does Tommy back him up and catch him with a left hook (possible, but Iggy's defense is very good and he has solid amateur experience)?

    Morrison had the gas tank of a lawnmower. No way he lasts in this one.

    Parrot something long enough and it becomes a truth.

    He used huff and puff but he still put the rounds in. Povetkin is the exact same as him.

    He literally looks like he's going to fall over from exhaustion but still battles on and on.
    That Morrison fought and won impressively under such circumstances proves his true worth in this sport.

    Both these guys were mediocrities with flaws all over the place.Could well just come down to who is having the better day.

    Morrison more likely of the two to get humilatingly smashed to bits within 6 after getting caught, but Ibragimov was no one to bet money on and could potentially struggle badly against anyone with a pulse if he comes up against a stylistic issue as shown against the comically inept Austin.

    Exactly, my thoughts.

    Sultan was impressive and fun for a time. He was fast, threw great combinations, durable, hit hard, moved well, and didn't take any ****. Tyson was convinced he was the Heir Apparent after the Whitaker fight and backed him until his legal troubles prevented him from being in his corner, than Mayweather tried to turn him into a defensive cutie, and that may have worked too well.

    Sultan vs Whitaker. Just look at the combos Sultan opens up with out of the gate, shame this guy didn't stick around.

    Austin fought the fight of his life against Sultan. Happens. Sultan didn't do himself any favors by showing up in horrible shape. I still think Sultan edged it.

    Lance Whitaker??:rofl So Iggy's worth is proven by beating a nobody , who in the same year was knocked out in less time by Laun Krasniqi.

    Krasmiqi surly would have been some title holder during the 90's having beaten the Great Whitaker. Amazing he never came close to picking one up in this lesser era.

    Austn fought the fight of his life?? Another gem. :nut

    He fought like the bum he is. Plodding , fists down , throwing pitiful arm punches. In fact , he probably never looked any worse.

    Krasniqi versus Tommy would be more evenly matched. Tommy hit harder, but Krasniqi was a lot more skilled, just not as quick and dynamic as sultan.

    Don't bother with DinotheDuck's replies to me. He lost an account bet to me that he refuses to honor, still hangs around and makes a fool of himself trying to get one over on me. He shouldn't even be here.

    And Whitaker would have probably beat Morrison. Mount Goofi blew out Oleg, who has the same durability issues as the Duke.
