Peter Quillin Fans - Tell me what you see in him.

[Rantcatrat]

He's an incredible athlete though his fight vs Brinkley may not have shown off that skill. He's now with Freddy Roach, he's got decent handspeed, good stamina, good pop in both hands and a good attitude. He wants to prove himself but he's not arrogant.

He should do well vs McEwan. If he wins that we may be talking about fights vs Super 6 contenders, Bute, it paves the way for big things.

He was offered the fight against Bute before Johnson and Quillin declined to face Bute (it was well-publicized at the time). Quillin's reason was that he wanted to be a middleweight.

As I'm sure you know El Kabong, being an incredible athlete and being a skillful boxer are two entirely different things. He looks a good athlete but at least in the Brinkley fight he didn't show me a lot of skill. Frankly, and I'm undecided now, but he looks like a pure puncher. Also, he looks to be a big middleweight and maybe that is why he can afford to rely on his size and power.

Why would you say McEwan is above Smith? I had Smith beating Guerrero and Jacobs by a round each, but that's just me - I know what the scorecards were. What has McEwan done? He beat Brian Vera and was up on the cards by a smidgeon against Lee at the time of the KO. Not to downplay Quillin if he beats McEwan because McEwan appears to be able to box. In fact, I think its pretty fair to say McEwan is the boxer in this match up and Quillin is the puncher.

Although Pirog like Quillin is relatively unproven, he does more in the ring than Quillin does at least on first glance.
