Mike Perez is the best HW next to the Klits

I just feel it.. What are your thoughts on Perez?

is he fuck

[p4pking]

I don't know about that, but I think he's perhaps got a better skillset than anyone outside of Wlad. He has a fight coming up on the Bute-Pascal undercard which is nice, hope he hasn't been to rattled by what happened against Mago in his last fight. Power and size are already his shortcomings, he can't afford to lose an edge.

I like Mike Perez, I think he is a decent, entertaining Heavyweight. I'd say the guy is clearly top 10 in the division right now, but 3rd is a little high for me. His size might be his downfall in this division.

Perez is a really good fighter.

Perez is a really good fighter.

Wish he had more power but his size will be his real limiter at heavy, in my opinion.

[El Kabong]

UMMMMM yeah I'm going to have to disagree on that. Talented as he is he's not #3. Maybe he's the 3rd best SMALL heavyweight, but he's got a ways to go and plenty of people to fight before being #3 in the world.

6'1, 20 wins, 12 KO....not especially great on defense, little to no pop, not super fast. He just seems average, consistent but average.


He fights Carlos Takam soon...that's a solid fight to be honest. If Takam slips a few of the shots Mago took and counters then Perez's 0 will soon be history.

[Beanflicker]

I dont have a lot of faith in it to be honest. He looked "decent" against Abdusalamov, a guy who just walked forward with no defense. I wasn't really impressed with Perez's skill, he landed a lot of clean shots but he also took a lot of punches himself.

He's a short guy by today's HW standards and seems like he weights 30lbs more than he should.

[El Kabong]

If you're going to be successful as a small heavyweight then you're going to have to either be technically and tactically brilliant or extremely gifted athletically. You basically have to be a freak of nature or just a brilliant fighter.

Earnie Shavers or Chris Byrd

Those are your options and Perez sure doesn't punch like Earnie and he can't move like Chris.


Carlos Takam isn't a world beater, but he's built like a brick shit house and he's got some fairly quick hands.

You be the judge

You ALMOST got a neg-rep from me. But only because you are my closest ally on Saddo, I decided to not do it- also because of your good posting in the past.

With that being said, this is SOOOOO disrespectful. lololol.... Mike Perez? Really?

Let's see him face Jennings/Arreola/Stiverne or Wilder... then we can chat about it. Even a Tony Thompson. Ok?

Perez may not be as accomplished as some of these other contenders but just based off the eyeball test, I think he has more skills than most.. He's a quick fisted southpaw with tolerable power and the right amount of slickness and on top of that, he can take a punch.. Those attributes can take a fighter long way in today's HW division.

I just can't see guys like Arreola competing with him..

After Wlad leaves the sport, we will have a shit heavy division. My hopes are for Wilder to step up his game and become the next best HWY. Mike Perez is good but not material to be the best in the world, even in a shit division
