    I appreciate what you're saying and agree that he smothered his work a bit but it's his FIRST fucking fight!

    Sultan Ibragimov? You're comparing my boy to a former world champion!? I'm actually surprised you're allowed to inform people about the happenings of boxing if you're making statements like Sultan Ibragimov would make him look silly - Anybody with half a brain cell knows he would at this stage in their respective careers but you don't know what the future will hold.

    Would you have banked that Hopkins would be where he is at after his first pro fight? No, so don't come in here with your holier than thou attitude unless you're some kind of boxing mystic meg which you certainly ain't (aren't you the guy that said Baldomir would 'steamroll' Floyd Mayweather before they fought?)

    Also read what I write fully before giving your opinion. I said hopefully he can work towards a 'title'! Where did I mention a WORLD title? It's too early to tell how he will improve for those kind of talks.

    I thought age might come up. Fair enough Tam but the age thing is a non factor in my opinion because he had maybe 15 amateur fights tops so he is not battle worn in the slightest. He lives a straight edge lifestyle and doesn't smoke, drink or anything. (we've seen what that can do for longevity, look at Hopkins)

    Finally, the guy he beat hasn't been knocked out in 2 years and a two time ABA finalist in Tom Dallas couldn't get the job done a couple months ago either and Sinan Samil Sam took 2 rounds to do it. A great start for Larry and this despite him being nervous. Give him a chance, it's one fight.

    Shame really Daxx, you gave me my first few cc's in this place but I'm not quite sure where you get off on this new bullshit attitude. Constructive criticism is one thing but you need to get off your high horse. You might be right all along but let's wait and see shall we before you get your knickers in a bunch! I'll chat to you again when he picks up his first title..
    With the current heavyweight crop there's no reason why ANYBODY can't win a title.

    There's especially no reason why he can't win a British or Commonwealth title too. A fat, obese John McDermott clearly beat Danny Williams last time out. Williams and Skelton are both coming to the end of their careers, Audley Harrison is garbage, David Haye is looking at world honours.

    The British domestic scene heavyweight door is wide open.

    Hard to make any judgements on that fight. He throws pretty good punches, he's not too sloppy. Didn't look too accurate but he got the job done. I don't think 30 is too late for heavyweights, you got guys fighting into their 40's and doing just fine. He just need to fight regularly and lets see what he looks like 10 fights from now.
