    He is fighting october 29th vs some 8-6 guy(Terrell Nelson) who has a 2nd round KO loss to a ''green'' Valuev.What is you'r opinion in general about the guy?Could he have made it big time?Could he still do it?

    This is the guy that had that thrilling fight against Minto, right? He's pretty one dimensional, but fun to watch. He could never have made it big against A quality fighters.

    Yep,that is the guy,great fight with Minto,actually lost twice to him,lost the rematch as well but it was entertaining.Aren't a lot of HWs these days one-dimensional?That should not be a big problem

    None. He's a solid and entertaining clubfighter who makes a decent enough living in the ring, but even he knows he has major limitations.

    I hope he gets another payday, but he's done as a "contender". I like his attitude and willingness to fight (the man has guts!).

    However, in Rocky terms, Mick would have said "he'll always be a bum!" (Not trying to be rude, he'll simply never be World Class.) The guy just doesn't have enough of an amateur background to be a real contender. Look at Big Michael Grant, far bigger and more "gifted" physically, yet he's always disappointed too!

    He never was a contender.He never asranked.He was fringe contender at most.But a title shot he deserved I guess more than some of the clowns in the tite pictureGood analogy BTW with the Mick term:good

    I'm sure the fact that you got owned in the other by me didn't have anything to with this but anyway I like the guy,he always comes to fight.Would be interesting to get him a title shot.Btw even the fact that you answer my cursing makes you an idiot cuz I'm a dick:hi:

    Evander just wanted some toon-up fights and heard he cuts easily especially with Evander having a great right headbutt.And btw the fight was stopped on that bad cut

    I don't fantasize,I wonder what if.....
    For example would Golota or Toney be a threat to Wlad?Was Peter to Vitali?Or Maskaev now?

    Just kidding, I'm not suggesting that Maddy was ever a real, top 10 guy! :cool:

    True enough regarding Evander's best punch,the Headbutt! It's amazing how Golota is a villain for this groin punches (to opponents with a cup), yet Evander has butted dozens of times and he's still a real honorable guy! :good
