"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
Solis destroyed Barret.
Besides Austin, Chisora, Harrison and Sosjnoswki are hardly better names than Solis.
Solis may not have done much to deserve a shot, but absolutely everybody else has already been beaten. If not Solis, then who else?
Besides, Solis beats all of these mentioned by me abover imo. He's a legit challenge, although like Povetkin, I would rather he worked on improving his skills and conditioning and get a couple tougher fights in first.
Remember Cris Arreola? Well, Arreola was 6'4 and weighed in for fights between 250 and 260 pounds. Solis is 6'1 and weighs a whopping 270 pounds for his fights. I mean that's like retardedly fat.And he's a professional boxer? It's almost comical. Seriously.
The Klitschko brothers cleaned out the division, unfortunately, other than Adamek, Povetkin, and Haye, there really isn't much else out there. Solis is as good as any.
Solis KO 3
Cloud KO 4.

I am starting to think Solis isnt that serious. He weighed in at 260, Ray Austin who is 6'6" 5 inches taller than Solis weighed 20 lbs less. I really dont see anything but another Sam Peter type beating if he faces a Klitchko.
I don't think he'll take a beating like Sam Peter did. Say what you will about Sam, but at least the guy has heart! I think Solis is getting by on his power and his ability to deliver punches in a proper and devistating manner, I do think he's a bit chinny though he hasn't been touched up as a pro yet. He should have no trouble with Ray Austin, though Ray could keep away from him for a while, if it gets to the 6th round Austin has a better chance of winning from then on out just due to conditioning alone.
I would love to see Solis fight a dangerous opponent not named Klitschko before he gets sent to slaughter, but oh well c'est la guerre.
Also let it be noted that former Lou Duva protege Michael Marrone weighed in at 260 1/2 ......wow, a couple years ago he was in the 220's, he never caught my eye as an impressive fighter, but damn...did he get stung by a bee or something?
Walker was doing okay countering in there, but you can't fight Mayorga without head movement.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
