My stance on Goral @ heavy is well-documented.

I'm against it.

There was never any point in him leaving Cruiser behind. He wasn't having trouble making weight, AFAIK. It was a paper chase, plain and simple. It isn't just a matter of "He'd never have an honest prayer of beating a Klitschko" - that would lump him in with most other contenders of recent stock. It's "He'd never have an honest prayer of beating a world titlist at heavyweight". He is established in the sense that he's established he can beat Estradas and Maddalones and Walkers and Aguileras...and conditionally Grants and Golotas (condition being they're already shitting in Depends)...and squeak by overrated-to-begin-with Arreolas with multiple trips down ***** Street...and get lavish gifts against Chamberses who themselves belong down under 200... Big whoop. No, I wouldn't say his farcical trip across the unlimited threshold has made him all that relevant - and until he does anything to suggest he could beat a Pulev, let alone a Haye or Povetkin, let alone a Klitschko, I'll continue to regard him as an irrelevant waster of everybody's time.

He never had the makings of an elite heavy. He DID have the makings of a potential unified champ with a nice long reign at Cruiser - and he sucks donkey schlong for not tidying up one division and instead muddying up another to turn a quick buck. Very frustrating.

As for USS - let's not go ahead and say he's established on the strength of one Jason Gavern, eh?

IB, although I find your commentary pretty reasonable most of the time, I do not get your blatant, bias hatred towards Adamek. I get that he's not the image of your ideal heavyweight, but in reality he is more relevent then you make him out to be.

Deontay Wilder needs to take note and step up or **** off.

he is fighting the guy who took Hamer's zero. Top 70 opponent, progress.

Just the unknown factor.

It also isn't something you just transition into overnight, however prepared. You can spar 30 frames in the gym, but going 12 or even 10 in actual pro bout conditions when you've never been past eight is probably a rude awakening.

Boxers are typically plotted along a "stepped up" path from 4-6-8-10-12 for a reason.

I'm with you there, it's just some guys have red flags on future stamina, like they start slowing down or throwing arm punches near the end of 6 and 8 rounders. I haven't seen any particular red flag with Hamer that makes me think he won't be able to make the transition, although he does have a much more active fighting style than most current heavies.
