Anyone know whats going on with Roman Greenburg?

[josh fg]

he hasn't fought since last year, is he still active or will we not get to see him fight over weight journymen anymore.

[DavidPayne]

I read Gerald Nobles the other day. I think.

One of those, never did it 38 year old American heavyweights anyway.

[Poncey]

He was supposed to be fighting Tua, then just the same card as Tua, then the card got scrapped.

Greenburg Tua would be ugly!

[Dirk Kelly]

We will probably get an announcement soon saying that 2008 is going to be his year, how he'll fight a ranked opponent followrd by a title shot in 2009. They only really change the dates in their press releases.

Expect a fight with a low ranked British heavyweight. Or an American journeyman where Roman will grind out a points win.

Seconds Out says he will fight Cedric Boswell next month. Boswell used to be pretty decent, but has been wrapped in tissue since his loss to McCline in '03 (a fight he was winning most of the way before Jameel enveloped him). I'd guess he has enough skills to probably beat Greenberg, but he is 37 now and clearly rusty. It is, nonetheless, a step up for Roman.

[DavidPayne]

Boswell, Nobles, Nicholson.....the names are interchangeable.

[rhino222]

i lost interest in the greenberg charade a few years ago, promises of decent opponents that have contunually fallen by the way side..

[deadpan]

He should enter the prizefighter tournament.

Nobles would outclass him.

[Scrap]

Greenburg, Ive lost interest in the charade. :x

[ArtOfWar]

What's going on with Greenburg? Nothing as per usual.

[funso banjo baby]

nobles and boswell would ice him

greenberg will just dwindle to nothing like chapman ..holmes ..and linberger

[overhand_right]

Gerald Nobles regardless of a year layoff andbeing about 38 years old would still absolutely marmalise Roman Greenberg.

[DavidPayne]

Agreed.

Why isn't Greenberg going for someone like Sprott or Vidoz or Krasniqi etc.

He'll be splattered by the first guy with ambition he meets.

[DavidPayne]

Is he ranked by the WBO?

Quick answer: No.

Answer: He's a fat semi-useless lump.

As we have said before: Greenburg + Belshaw makes one goodfighter.

[DavidPayne]

I was actually referring to Epic Drift.

Sounds like one of those one horse town heavyweights or a matinee P.I.

When you don't know who to call, why you need a hand, call Epic Drift. The man's man of detectives.

Is he still going to be a Billion Dollar sportsman?

[Coco]

Is he still going to be a Billion Dollar sportsman?

With his popularity and Israeli cash, I bet he will still be a multi-millionaire, as long as they keep him fighting and winning against the usual suspects.
Thats boxing for you

What popularity? Unless you were taking the piss.

He has huge popularity amongst his Jewish fan base, much of it abroad

[funso banjo baby]

another chapman


scrap iron johnson from the 70's would have ko'd both

[oliverfennell]

I think even Scrap Iron RYAN could have done that!

I wouldn't go as far as saying a multi millionaire, but he already gets paid very well indeed for the fights he has had thus far.

Roman Greenburgs career is taking the piss, and to think I really thought he was going to do something very early in his career until I heard the rumours about him being sparked more than once in training.

[DG.]

By whom and source if possible mate.[/quote]


Isn't t funny how we NEVER hear te names of the people who sparked people in sparring.


Maybe the story went like this.


Gym Person: 'Did you see the knock out punch tat knocked out Roman?'

Punter: 'No - who threw it?'

Gym Person: 'Not telling ya - na na na na na!'
