Wow. That dude is massive. It seems, too, that he is already the champ. How did I miss that?

Probably because of the guy standing next to him starting to take an interest

I think he beat clitchkow (how do you spell that guys name ), the guy Lennox Lewis was due to face before he retired.

I think it's "Klitchko". That guy was excellent.

Wow, the only place you could reach to hit the guy would be below the belt. I would like to see him in a fight. If he can move, he looks pretty bad ass to me.

He either can move fast or has bombers like early Tyson. He is undefeated so far, something like 34-0. He probably is faster than you would think based on his size.

44-0 with 32 KOs! 😲

Probably a little inflated, but impressive nonetheless.

Hard to say, a few years down the road if he lasts that long we will find out. I don't know who he has fought yet. But I am sure he had to fight someone, they don't just give it to you. The top contenders wouldn't go for that I don't believe. My head hurts just thinking about the road to the World Heavy Weight Boxing Championship Title and what it takes to defend it.

Think we will have a Sports forum with big screen TV and a keg of Guiness by the time he gets KO'd?

Apparently he beat Ruiz for the title. I didn't even know that happened!

It was a disputed discision and from what I've seen of Ruiz ..he was rubbish. Don King never lets his fighters go against the odds except the one when King bought Ali and put him up against Foreman intending Ali to lose.. Ha mud in his eye.
Boxing seems to have been asleep for a few years now.. It would be great to get a unified title and get some good boxers back in the ring.. Hope this guy can a catalyst.
