    a fighter only quits when his opponent gives him a reason to. so krasniqi quitting is because he was made to quit. how far will thompson go is anyone's guess, theres been plenty of boxers who didn't seem like much but went furthur than people thought.

    Krasniqi suddenly got old, it happens in boxing. These young guys have a lot of vigor, and it ain't easy for an old guy to deal with. Toney Thompson may not be the best, but he is young in terms of mileage and he is a threat to anyone. Krasniqi was a bit shop worn.

    Chambers and Arreola are the best American based heavys i see today (prospects) I like Tony but he should have backers that want to move him faster.. he is ready for Wlad (or should be) now , yet no moves made.. I'd throw all caution to Calvin, Wlad and Ruslin... He needs moving into a championship faster before he does a Jimmy Young and becomes the best forgotten secret in the heavyweights today..
