HE'S BEATEN FIGHTERS WITH PRETTY GOOD RECORDS IN AT LEAST 10 OF HIS LAST FIGHTS INCLUDING CHAZZ WITHERSPOON, AND THOMAS HAYES. IT'S YET TO BE A FACT BUT IMO. I THINK HE'S A FAIR CANDIDATE TO CLEAR UP THE GARBAGE IN THE DIVISION.
    he also comes in looking like a beached whale, Bowe was another fighter who would always come to fight, but he fell a long way from being great due to the same reason

    I like Chris.his attitude,willingness and straight forward approach.No bullshit...just Chris punching you in the mouth and willing to soak up what ever you may return his way.Thats the downslide....he appears to fight day by day and lives 100% in the 'now'.Lack of conditioning speaks volumes not to mention his interviews..."F!!k it" etc.He'll be explosive while hes around,live or die by the KO and very TV friendly but I believe the clock is ticking on him.

    The way things are with the division right now I'd be happy with one more great heavyweight in my lifetime. Hopefully somebody comes out of nowhere and sets the world alight like Tyson did but I'm not holding my breath. Good athletes these days can get college scholarships and become professional NFL, NBA etc. players. Even if they fail they can become a P.E. teacher. The incentive to go into boxing isn't there anymore. To be honest I'm just glad that boxing is thriving among Latinos so at least we're going to see decades more of great fights at the lower weights. I'm not holding out much hope for the heavyweights.
