Haha i dont even know what to say. Tim Sylvia your boxing is good for mma but in a boxing ring you would get absolutely murdered.

I would give him a good chance against most HW boxers since that division is so horrible. Klitschko is the IBF, WBO, and IBO champion and he is afraid to get hit.

I dont know. I personally wanna say most of the heavy weight boxers punch harder then sylvia and can take a punch better then sylvia. I see tim sylvia just getting caught and getting laid out.

While i don't think Sylvia would be that great as a pure boxer it is at least pleasing that the HW division sucks in boxing as well as MMA. I watched teh Klitchko title fight the other night and it was awful. His opponent was basically asking to be put down for three or four rounds and evtually he just fell over when it was apparent that Klitchko wasn't going to do it for him

Sam Peter and Wlad (when he actually hits with hi right hand) hit pretty hard but the HW division sucks real bad. The biggest prospect at HW is David Haye and he is a natural cruiserweight. I really think Sylvia could hang in there, hell one ranking I saw still has Holyfield ranked in the top 15.

I am actually looking forward to Hayemaker getting a title shot cos I really think he will give Klitchko a beat down. The russian just makes so many mistakes that his opponenet, in the last fight at least, did nothing to capitalise on.

Yeah, I want to see Haye fight Wlad and think he could pose some problems for Wlad. The only thing I worry about is Haye's chin. Hs has been dropped a couple times before and if Wlad actually lets his right hand go, he could drop Haye because he has power in that hand.

Yeah with the state the HW divisions in I think Sylvia could do ok.

Haye needs to learn to keep his left up, he's too cocky and complacent right now IMO especially as he doesn't have the best chin in the world. He's got good speed and I'll be interested to see how his power translates at HW though.
