Yuri Foreman calls out Kirkland,Angulo,Duddy

Explain "a 3-4 top rated fighter".

There's no way any of those guys are top 3 or 4 in the division.

And if you mean that those 4 guys were top rated (top 25 ?)... they still are nowhere near as good as Kirkland, Angulo or Duddy. And actually Foreman struggled to beat Thompson and Tsurkan.

 

All 3 knock him out.

Duddy is criminally under-rated in this thread.

 

3 or 4 is number of fighters who was at the time of the fight rated in top 15.
Is that clear or i need to spell it to you?

 

The only guy out of those 3 that he has a chance of beating is Duddy. Other then that Kirkland TKO 9, Angulo UD 12, Duddy SD 12.

 

He said world class. None of those guys are world-class, but then again neither is Angulo, Kirkland, or Duddy.

All 3 would be Foreman's best opponent to date though.. for sure

 

Now it's clear. It wasn't the first time.

Being in the Top 15 of an ABC means ****. Like I wrote. Those guys might have been rated, they aren't nearly as good as Kirkland, Angulo and Duddy. And Foreman struggled to beat 2 of those 4.

 

they all whup Foreman. Angulo KO 6, Kirkland KO 5, Duddy UD

 

Yuri could have a chance against Duddy, in reality they are both club fighters.
The promoter who matches Angulo and Foreman could be arrested for Yuri's murder.
Kirkland can punch all right, but who knows what will happen when someone boxes him and moves around a little bit? I'd pick Kirkland, but would not be surprised if Yuri could outbox him.

 

Duddy and Foreman deserve far more respect than to be called club fighters,they might be top level world class but they are still two good fighters,i might be biased but i think duddy would beat foremen on points.

 

noone around here believe foreman wrote that press release. he doesnt seem the type to say something as foolish and idiotic as that. must have been someone trying to make him look bad

 

Yuri has more punching power than his knockout record shows, just he doesn't try to knock guys out at all due to his religious beliefs. He's gone out and said that his goal is to win the fight without hurting his opponent. I don't think that means he won't hurt his opponent if he needs to.

AT's fought him, he can tell us whether he can punch hard or not.

Anyway, I suspect he could get beaten by a bulldozer with a good inside game, especially in a small ring. In a large ring, he probably jabs and runs the entire fight and eeks out a decision. If he can be closed off, he'd still outbox any of those guys, but might eventually get KOed. I'm not sure there's a better pure boxer at 154 out there though.

 

Who's AT?
