Where is Sultan Ibragimov?

Sultan would embarrass Arreola. I also hope he returns, as he's one of the best five or six heavies out there.

 

Sultan would stop Arreola. :good

 

I don't know where he is, but I wish he would come back. Sultan is easily one of the Top 5 HWs. The division needs him.

 

Indeed, Sultan fit in well with the heavyweights. Damn good fighter compared to most of them. I want him back too.

 

Chagaev vs. Sultan would be a very close fight, in my opinion.

I think Ibragimov is every bit as good as Chagaev.

 

I actually rate him a touch higher. But yes, a very close fight indeed.

 

Sultan def. needs to be back in the mix.

 

By him I mean Ibragimov of course.

 

I think there's a chance that he won't be the same fighter he used to be. but who knows, maybe he still has something left in him.

 

Who knows what we will see if and when he returns. All I know is that this long layoff can't help him any, especially if he isn't training hard.

 

Haye vs. Ibragimov has the makings of a good fight as well, imo.

 

The problem with Sultan was Jeff Mayweather. Defensive boxing may have helped him beat Briggs, but it took away any chance he may have had against Wlad and reduced his marketability.

Pre-Mayweather Ibgragimov was a whirlwind attacker who swarmed and threw a lot of shots. See his fights with Ahunanya, Whitaker and any of his early pro fights.

There is a reason his fight with Austin was one of the highest rated FNF's of all-time.

Still, I'd like to see him comeback too. There are good matchups out there to be made.
It could be that he's back home in Russia/Caucasus living off his ring earnings.

 

My money would be on Iggy.

 

I would actually be inclined to agree. ALthough Haye has him beat in a few categories, power, speed(Not by that much) Iggy just has that experience to hand Haye a loss at HW. I wouldnt be THAT Suprised if Haye pulls an upset though.
