Problem is now though, he's a Pole living in England without a following, so he's gonna get dodged like the plague by all the big names.
His plan is to fight in Germany. His mandatory challenger is Sebastian Zbik. Allegedly, Ryan Rhodes and Matthew Macklin already backed out of a fight with him.

I don't blame them if he has nothing to offer them. That's my point about him on the world stage.
He's just destroyed the Ring ranked no.4 middleweight and former "world" champion. A guy that's gone close with current champions Geale and Sturm. Proksa is already past the european title level. That's what Barker gave up to fight Martinez.
On his performance the weekend i'd back him to KO Barker.
Although, I was going through some of his old form and saw a British journeyman - Tyan Booth - wobble him quite badly before being knocked out.
Some bloody good matches can be made at middleweight.

All of a sudden, there are some fun tear ups to be made at middleweight. Proksa v. ____; Pirog v. ____; Martinez v. _____; even Barker or Macklin v. ____.

Never been a fan of Sylvester...very limited boxer who only got this far in boxing because he had a good management...against Proksa Sylvester looked shot...Proksa looked good but Sylvester didn't offer much resistance...

But see against Geale he didn't look shot and that was only one fight ago, which means you have attribute to Sylvester looking the way he did because of the boxing prowess of Proksa.

Maybe,but...Sylvester looked sluggish to me,shoving his punches...that got nothing to do with Proska...him also being gun-shy was probably Proskas doing...

There is no "Proska", Proksa is pronounced "Proxa".
Seeing Sylvester's face after he entered the ring I also got the impression that he didn't want to be there.

JohnnyBoy been a while... :D
How are things on the other side of the world?
Hope all is well.
Remember back when we were on here ranting and raving amount Amin vs. Sylvester 1?
I think you and were the only ones interested in the match up... ;D
Then later the rematch followed by a rubbermatch.
Back then they were both highly regarded contenders who had a lot to prove. To be honest I liked Amin slightly better then Sylvester when Amin won the 1st fight I thought surely he'd catapult into the title contention. But then something happened, he looked sloppy in his performances and performed poorly IMO.
I have to agree and like I said earlier I don't think Sylvester was much of test. Just the way I see it.
Some good possible opponents for Super G:
Roman Karmazin is always a good test
Marco Antonio Rubio is def. a good test
What's Ossie Duran up to these days?
Elvin Ayala
Giovanni Lorenzo

What about Lemieux, if Proksa was willing to travel to Montreal he wouldn't have to worry about a fan base, he could probably get a decent payday and some TV exposure out. Plus he can get off that dreadful island!

Well, to be fair, Zbik isn't a bad fight either if that is what he does now.

Hmmm...I did it right in the earlier post...well...thanks for correcting this...

Hey Mick...all is well here...hope the same goes where you are...bet you still stalking boxing celebs...;)
Anyway...Sylvester/Asikainen that was something...back in the days...
Don't know who Proksa fights next but it will be probably an eliminator...depends a bit on how good Proksas management is...
