If I was EH I would be banging the body of Ibragimov. What do you guys think?

Didn't see the pics yet..but 219 is a good wieght for Iggy. 211 for Holy? Seems a little small for him.

The body is the key.I'm sure the softness of Sultan hasn't gone unnoticed by Commander Vander.Even ancient versions of guys like Holyfield beat second raters like Sultan everytime.

Some old time trainers insisted that a guy with Ibragimov's type body could take a body shot better than a man with a Holyfield type body. I don't know how true that is though.

Holyfield weighed in at 187. He needs to eat a goddamned hamburger.

187? What are you talking about?

Regardless of what the pictures look like, bodywork is always prudent.

I disagree, Iggy looks in great shape, a full 14 pounds lighter than against the overachieving Ray Austin. I believe Sultan is in around the best shape of his career, as his record would indicate. I don't see fat here like some are implying.

Ibragimov is in good shape - very good shape, in fact, for him. But Holyfield should go to the body as every good fighter would.

Don't be fooled by the waistline, If he has solid muscle behind that fat he will take body shots better as he won't be just relying on solid muscle to absorb the shots.

At least ONE thing is true - you canīt count on Sultan being "soft" just because he looks so.

Holy will put the hurt on Iggy, i'd bet on it.

Holyfield is just so accurate, even to this day, with his powerpunches. He is just a executioner.

If I was EH I would be banging the body of Ibragimov. What do you guys think?I'd agree with you in part because its always good to go to the body. that being said, Ibragimov's appearance is deceiving. He had to punch and move vs. Briggs for 12 rounds. He did it with ease, which tells me he is in pretty good shape. He looks more solid recently than he did against Austin where he was tired. Also,while he isn't chisseled, he is solid and some guys just have more body fat naturally.
