Are you a big fan?
Not really, I just know him longer as most people on this forum, so I predicted he would become a top 25 boxrec boxer when he only had fought one match. Many people laughed at me back then and said he had no chance and it wasn't a real boxer and things like that. They somehow still continue to do that, probably as long as he isn't a real top 25. I often predict things years beforehand when everybody is laughing at me. When I predicted the date that Wilder would accept the Ortiz fight like two months beforehand (I knew Wilder couldn't accept any fight while the Los Angeles lab was still suspended because of all their mistakes) most people ignored me as well and when I predicted that the Ortiz fight wouldn't happen because Wilder would never accept such a good opponent and that Wilder would most likely fight Stiverne since he's the biggest bum in the WBC top 25, everybody wrote that the deal was already signed and things like that.

So yea, because I prove many people wrong many of them dislike me. For me it's logic actually, if you duck Dillian Whyte for 5 milion (who's not as good as Ortiz), then why would you accept Ortiz for 3 milion? Ofcourse that fight would never happen, Wilder knew something that made sure the fight would never happen, just like he has done more often. Wilder doesn't fight Parker, AJ, Povetkin or Ortiz for anything less as 7 milion. And neither Takam, Breazeale, Chisora, Whyte, Miller, Andy Ruiz Jr, Kownacki, Pulev, Hughie, Jun Long Zhang, Oscar Rivas, for less then 5 milion. He only fights bums for 1, to 1,5 milion.

Top 25 Boxrec boxer is an essentially meaningless construct, even more meaningless than accruing enough trinkets to get a top 15 ranking from one of the alphabetti spaghettis...

He probably would. Spong is a novice. Great kick boxer and muay tui. He'll never beat a boxer of note. I'm surprised he didn't stick to mma.

I didn't say that I could. At one point Chauncey Welliver was ranked high in the top ten on several organisations (and probably quite high on Boxrec too) simply because he picked up so many regional belts but nobody seriously thought of him as a top five or top ten boxer aside from a few obvious trolls and nut jobs.

I use Boxrec to check records and upcoming fights, I don't think I have ever paid attention to someone's ranking because it doesn't really tell me how good they are...

I’m baffled that Spong never fully dedicated himself to the other parts of MMA. He’s a very good kickboxer.

maybe he just hates losing and thus boxing is perfect sport for him, as he can choose to fight the bums he wants, like he is doing now.

I always thought Spong was very 'hands-orientated' as an MMA fighter and after his injury I thought he was turning to boxing. I've been quite bemused by his lack of progress as a boxer and now I begin to see why. It seems to me he needs to make a decision as regards which discipline he intends to pursue, and if it's boxing then FFS stop messing about and fight someone semi-decent (Abell, Dawejko, Kassi, anyone we heard of)

He's what 32 already and it's not like he has never shared the ring with a dangerous opponent even if was in MMA. At this rate he'll be ready to attempt to crack the top ten maybe even before his 40th birthday :maybe:
