    The world's toughest Light heavyweight has intimidated the opposition to the point of abject fear and avoidance when it comes to fighting him so we bulked him up to heavy and will see how it goes from here.

    With the exception of the Klitschkos and maybe Chris Arreola right now, I think he takes any heavy out there.

    His first fight back was over in 49 seconds as Chris laid this turkey colder than Blue Bell ice cream with a jab and straight right hand. http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=291302&cat=boxer

    Maybe fat boy James Toney will be next in line to take an ass whipping as Chris will punch that cellulite right off of his flabby ass.

    We have a tentative date in Russia next week, will see what develops in the next several days.

    No money there, Andrew.

    Marco Huck has not wanted the fight yet, but we're still trying to get that one as well.

    We are trying to get Toney in the ring right now, but he has not responded as of yet.

    He saw Chris fight before him in Mississippi and may not want any part of him right now.

    Yeah, I figure Chris would whip Toney these days. Toney really has nothing left, shouldn't be fighting. I'd say he's going to get hurt, but he's already plenty hurt.

    Is Chris solid at heavy? What's he weighing?

    The benefit of having 4 sanctioning bodies is that no one gets locked out of an eventual title shot.

    Get Henry on FNF a couple of times and have Teddy slurp him. An IBF rating will follow soon after.

    He looks pretty good 195 right now, but he put the weight on quick, looks a lot like Mike Tyson did in the Lennox Lewis fight, for instance as the bulk is there but not the cuts yet.

    He will fill in harder in the next couple of months as there is room to improve, he won the Ringside World Championships in 2000 at 205, so heavy is nothing new to him.

    Been running 5 miles every morning, going to the gym at 11:00 AM and lifting weights in the evening with some stretching thrown in.

    We don't have any choice Neil as the top light heavyweights simply will not fight the guy.

    Time will tell if you are correct, but I think he can whip most of the guys out there.

    His inability to dodge a right hand will be a severe hindrance at heavy.

    Yep, but we are working on bending those knees and keeping that left hand up.

    That's not a realistic fight or win right now, he is a work in progress.

    I'll be happy with a Kevin Johnson or Eddie Chambers late this year or next year.

    Awesome! Could Chris Henry take somebody like a prime Larry Holmes you think? Or is he too green?

    those two would slap henry around and shut him out, perhaps stopping him along the way.

    I like Henry, but fighting at hw is a terrible idea imo. He seems far too small for that division

    Agreed. Cruiserweight might work but I can't see him doing anything at heavyweight. Instead of getting to higher weight division he should try training

    195 is still cruiserweight. He's going to be very undersized. I would recommend fighting at cruiserweight first. Is he just trying to cash out? Why doesn't he continue fighting at lightheavyweight?

    Ah, so that's why. I would still recommend cruiserweight first or a WBO lightheavyweight shot.

    Yeah Karl, it should just be as simple as taking a WBO title shot.

    I was trying to get the point across that he might be able to go after one of the 4 belts. WBO was the first one that came to mind outside the "big three". I didn't say it would be easy, but it was an off-the-cuff thought.

    Lately you focus too hard on acting cool rather than on participating in conversations seriously. Between this, your spamming of the MMA forum, and you starting to spam the Training and Conditioning forum, it may be time to make a change in your department.

    Blah, blah, blah.

    I've been participating in this discussion seriously. Not making meaningless recommendations.

    It's not meaningless to hypothesize alternate solutions to bulking up a lightheavyweight so he can get murdered a heavyweight.

    You're hanging by a thread, punk.

    Buddy, I think our man Stinger is making a mistake bringing Henry George to heavyweight. If George fails or dies, Stinger will be responsible.
