    Ok so at 5'11" Amir would seem a little too short for todays HW division although at 226 and ripped as he is, he does look very strong. I think he would definitely still pose a very tough opponent.

    The main problem I have with him Finito is that he has spent most of his time in prison. Were he not to have suffered these fates, he would probably be a top contender.

    I find it difficult to pick him over Stiverne, Arreola and Thompson.

    Yea I agree. You can't do well as a southpaw at HW without some slickness. Kelvin Price is comically useless, and still landed some good right hands even though he doesn't really have one to speak of.

    Price was ready to go a few times and Amir couldn't end it. Price landed a few good rights. Maybe 20 years ago Mansour may have been a contender but not now.

    I wouldn't go that far. But he's clearly not championship material. Barely contender material

    Mansour is ready to step up..

    Ya can't be serious.. Do u realize how difficult it is for a short fighter to face a giant?

    When a short man fights a much taller fighter, the fight is going to turn sloppy often times because the lankier guy with a much longer reach advantage is going to smother the little guy and that's exactly what happened here..

    As a short HW, even a young Tyson has been in these kind of fights..

    Adamek and Thompson ducked him for good reasons. They view him as a high risk/low reward so they want nothing to do with him..

    The fact that they view him as a high risk opponent says something.

    Hardcore Amir would fuck Chisora up

    He's not terrible man, but he's not going anywhere and there are a lot of other giants in the division who aren't basketball players. Kelvin Price was utter shit and could have landed his right hand at will anyways if he knew how to set anything up. Wlad would KO Mansour in a round if he wanted to. A realistic opponent would be say Steve Cunningham who fought on the same card tonight. He'd probably beat Mansour imo.

    I think he might be able to expose some of the smaller up and comers like maybe Jennings. He could have a good scrap with Chisora.

    Chisora also gets a bit underrated sometimes though too.

    #1 Price got caught FLUSH a number of times and Amir couldn't put him away.

    #2 Amir stopped moving his head

    #3 There are a glut of guys just as big as Price who are a lot more talented

    #4 Mansour was fading fast which is typically the case with that style.


    20 years ago he might have done something but he's prepped for a loss now.

    I am a wilder fan so I think he could take that crown

    But Jennings and hardcore r both a little older then fighting each other on NBC sports would be huge.

    Maybe the winner can fight the winner of maybe a Arreola vs wilder fight or fury vs wilder then fight Stiverne for the WBC belt.
