    Thanks for the info, I'd never heard of Oosthuizin until you just mentioned him. Apparently the kid's already gone 10 rounds twice and 12 once..I'll have to keep an eye out for him.

    Cool.

    He's also got a pretty good chin. Roman, still being a vet, was able to clock Thomas pretty good at times.... but Thomas didn't even flinch and still asserted himself.

    I thought the thread starter including Duddy and Chavez jr in a poll of "young and talented" middleweights was as funny as this thread was gonna get but you've just topped it with that one :lol::lol::lol:

    I have not seen/heard very much about Lee & Lemieaux so i will leave them out of it, but I have seen both Jacobs and Guerrero and impressed by both of them. I think fernando has come along looking the better of the 2, and am shocked that people have jacobs so far ahead of the feild!!! between him and Jacobs, Fernando has shown me more so far!!!

    What happened in the AMs is meaningless. McEwan didn't get his face tore up, or get embarrassed on national television, by Brian freaking Vera!

    You first admitted you haven't seen much of Lee since the Vera loss and then proceed to say with confidence that McEwan would box his ears off! McEwan has nothing to trouble Lee.

    Amateur fights are far from meaningless, especially when fighters have similar styles.

    Thats a **** argument also. Lee has a bad night, fell into a brawl and learned from it. How does using that mean McEwan would beat Lee, McEwan is a rangy boxer, not a come forward pressure brawler like Vera.

    Break it down how McEwan beats Lee so?

    Lee is faster, longer reach, with more power and has a chin to take all McEwan can give. Lee lost only four rounds in his entire professional career. One round went catastrophically wrong for him because he gassed trying to take out Vera, he was cruising up until then. McEwan, on the other hand has struggled throughout whole fights against nobodies just scraping by.

    Lee already outboxed McEwan at his own game, how you think that is insignificant is mind boggling.

    If McEwan was this really powerful aggressive brawler your "meaningless" argument would hold some weight as it is much easier for brawlers to succeed in the pros rather than the amateurs.
