Finally after 16 years as a pro, with significant stretches both in and out of the ring, undefeated heavyweight Amir Mansour, 19-0, 14 KOS, is ready for his coming out party. The touted power puncher gets his big chance to make some real noise in the heavyweight division Saturday night when he meets Kelvin Price, 14-1, 6 KOs, in the 10-round main event at Resorts International Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City.*

Gonna be a huge gap in height for him to bridge. But I believe he will win. Just not by knockout, most likely.

Re: Amir Mansour Ready to Break Into Mainstream

Price is bloody awful so this could be over early. Poor Amir, fights bums an nobodies and seems to think that boxing fans will care, that level of delusion really isn't good for a man. Now someone wake me up when he fights someone who will actually matter

--- Amir could do the same thing or better to Price, Oddley, and Liakhovich which is where Wilder got his high boxrec ranking.

Facts are unless a heavy is preparing for a "low elevation" heavy contender, he should gain as much experience as possible against any and all towering heavies. Price has no power but might get lucky with a shot, so this is probably the best quality puncher Mansour has faced in his career. Context my friend, context will impart greater understanding to the whole......

True context is needed. Mansour is 41. Context he's an old man and doesn't have time to waste fighting the Kelvin Price's or the Maurice Harris's of the world. He stopped Gavern 8 months ago and that was 3 fights back. I.f he needs experience he needs to be busier, if he thinks he's going to be relevant, he needs to be busier, if he thinks he's going to break in to the main stream or get a title fight he needs to be busier and fight better opponents and quickly

--- No need to be busier if he signs with Hayman and GB. He'd be fighting Price for more money in support of a Broner undercard than he will fighting Price as the headliner in Podunk, NJ and everything would be perfect in the current state of the boxing world.

If Popcorns can get title shots at his advanced age after shameless knockout losses to Joe Calzaghe, Roy Jones, and Chad Dawson, then the 41 year old Mansour would have plenty of time under Hayman/GB.

Yeah, I think you and Amir are suffering from the same delusions.

Even being on a Broner undercard will pay cents in the dollar to a major fight in Europe, you know where most the top Heavyweights are fighting. I wouldn't be shocked if Joey Abell is making more this weekend than Mansour is and Mansour seems to feel he's capable getting a title fight, we all know Joey isn't.

--- I don't know how much Joey takes home nor Amir and neither do you. Amir is more likely to fight a title eliminator for the WBA in Europe or against Wilder in US is where is title opportunities are. The Ks nor the rest of the ABCs don't want to know him unless he signs with Hayman/GB.

Re: Amir Mansour Ready to Break Into Mainstream

Please do tell me how many Haymon/GB fighters the Klitschko's have faced...

Please also note that if Abell wins this Saturday he'll have leaped into the IBF rankings, it's unlikely he'll win but he's facing a more notable opponent than Kelvin bloody Price

Re: Amir Mansour Ready to Break Into Mainstream

Problem is, because of his age and lack of experience not many are willing to give him big fights. Or maybe because he's not so "glamouros", not a superstar type. But he def brings excitement.

Re: Amir Mansour Ready to Break Into Mainstream

--- Sure, Kpromotions aka K trainer aka heavy contender JBanks fought Mitchell in a WBC eliminator for the right to meet Vitali + assorted other doodads and then the rematch.

Next easy question..........http://www.ringnews24.com/boxingforum/images/icons/icon6.png

Nope, you actually didn't answer the question, lets try again.

When was the last time a "KLITSCHKO" fought a HAYMON fighter. The question wasn't "A K2 FIGHTER" but a "KLITSCHKO". Now go on, try again...

--- Now, now, no need to cover up your bumbling. Hayman is the hottest ticket in boxing and has only the last few years secured the first of what likely will be a long line of heavy contenders. The Ks jumped on this meal ticket at first crack, giving Hayman his first crack at an eliminator against the most highly connected Klitscho fighter in history, properly addressed as B-side Klitschko.

Guaranteed Vitali would have made that easy money fight against Mitchell had he won, but alas, Hayman has thus far no clue on how to sign and build a true heavy contender, but he's done well for limited prospects Mitchell and Wilder.

Re: Amir Mansour Ready to Break Into Mainstream

Well...good old Amir didn't disappoint this time either. Now I'd like to see him fight Wilder! :boxing:Or Stiverne, Arreola...even Perez.

The only bumbling was you avoiding the question. Come on lets try again. How many times has a Klitschko, fought a Haymon fighter?

Just a simple answer, not a nonsensical ramble that gets off topic, just a number. Things that look like these "1" or "0" or "17"...no, words, just numbers...If you don't know, you can just say you don't know...

Obviously didn't see the fight, he looked clumsy, wild and absolute dog shite.

I didn't. But I didn't expect him to win by tko. Getit?

Re: Amir Mansour Ready to Break Into Mainstream

Just...watch the performance. To say he looked garbage would be a compliment. He was lunging, off balance, looked rushed...really...if this guy thinks he has a chance with a top 15 guy he has another thing coming.

Sorry, Boz, but that's loss, loss, loss and loss. He's just not in the same league as even of those guys, and I'm one that's trashing Wilder every chance I get.

You never know until they meet in the ring. I don't think he will be a favorite in those fights but he got a puncher's chance at least.

Tbh, I don't like him to beat those others you mentioned, but anyone who can punch can beat Wilder, so I wouldn't rule out Amir beating him.....of course, they'd never make that fight, for exactly that reason (babying Wilder).

--- My, my, a bumble bee in your bonnet is it?

You blatantly implied that Mansour signing with Haymon was no route to a title fight by pointing out the Ks have never fought a Haymon fighter. Kinda like pointing out they've never fought a Wilder fighter too nor a Jennings fighter, nor Scott fighter as an example of failed logic. The Ks have a working relationship with Hayman heavies and already given one a shot at fighting them and you can't spin it any other way.

Now, if Mansour knocks out Wilder, maybe he can get a shot at the Ks without Haymon, but regardless, Hayman greases more boxing skids for fighters than anyone in boxing right now save maybe Arum who could care less about a Mansour type in his stable.

Can you actually answer the question? Or not? I'll assume not as you keep going off on tangents rather than trying to answer, but we'll try again.

"How many Haymon fighters have the Klitschko's fought?" Don't worry if the answer, as we all know, is 0 because at least it's an answer.

For you to mention a working relationship is clutching at straws somewhat when you can come up with just a single Haymon Heavyweight that a K2 has fought. That's sort of like suggesting Top Rank and Golden Boy have a working relationship because Mosley fought Magarito.

Wilder and Jennings have also not fought a Klitschko, neither has Scott.

Are you wanting me to extend my question to asking "how many times have the Klischko's faced an American fighter?" just so you can throw those names in there?

Haymon has pull with Showtime, not with the Klitschko's and not with German TV. Unless Mansour will travel or get a WBO/WBA/IBF mandatory he'll not be getting a K bros fight with Haymon or with out Haymon.

Likewise Wilder, who has shown his colours by talking about a WBC vacant title fight, a Fury fight or a Chisora, will also not be getting a Klitschko. For Scott things are even further from happening whilst Jennings is unlikely to be moved on to a Klitschko fight either.

Haymon will not get Mansour or Wilder a Heavyweight title fight, heck he couldn't even get Broner an easy opponent

:mlol: Thats right, give it to him, Scott's been too selfrighteous lately!

I tend to expect people who make a claim to actually back it up. Klitschko's have fought as many Haymon fighters as they have Teiken fighters, a big fat 0. Maybe if Fujimoto signed for Teiken he'd have just as much of a chance as if Mansour was a Haymon fighter. A lovely, round 0%
