Maurice Harris who knocked out Sergei Lyakovich(your current WBO Heavyweight Champ and the second best of the 4 champions right now)
and Vitali Klitschko :)
And was the longest reigning of the champions there were when he got his title, he held it until a few months ago while the other champions lost theirs :)
holyfield victory he shouldnt get no credit he was well shot bit like tyson was against williams maurice harris got beat by 46 or 48 year old holmes cant remember exactly how old he was i thought vitali injured his shoulder ??Quote:

yes and like i said to lose to an almost 50 year old man when he is like 248 pounds round about 206 210 in his prime he cant be that good can he ?? holmes fought good against mercer and was 228 not bad for his age back then harris isnt good he got koed in 1 by henry akiwande for gods sake uh jeremy williams isnt that good either lost to sam peter by ko in 2 lost to brian nielsen by tko in 5 and williams lost to akiwande in 3 please he wasnt good neither was harris the only real thing williams done before losing to harris was lose md to donald ??Quote:

Byrd bores me stiff ! don't like his style at all ! Defense first is shit ! I hate a guy that comes out when the bell rings with open palms and on his heels ! You know Its going to be a long boring night of boxing !
It's "boxing" regardless.. the art of hitting and not get hit ::**Quote:
