Well I have now seen the future of the heavyweights Bronco Billy Wright. The WBC have him in there top 20 heavyweights, I am weeping as I type that.

Ok so fine he looked terrific but hows his whiskers? and can he go 12 hard rounds with Wlad?
He looks a tad heavy but nothing that a decent 8 week camp wont sort out

Didn't he fight Moorer years ago?

Yes he did, got stopped in 2. And retired after Tony Tucker beat him. He came back years later, like a poor mans George Foreman. He's 49 now, and fairplay that he can throw a punch of sorts. But to rank the guy is ridiculous.

I've spent over a year in Bolivia and it's a really poor country. Goodness knows what he gets paid for that. Maybe it's just a means to an end. I mean, he's somehow ended up with a ranking and a belt.

Actually my favourite part of the fight is when Torres gets knocked down, and his own cornerman just picks up his camera wanders over and takes a photo of him laid out!!

Remember him KOd in 2 by Michael Moorer on the Bowe/Holyfield I undercard in 1992! Was also KOd in 1 by the corpse of Tony Tucker. Great to see the integrity of the WBC is still intact post-Suilaman Sr.

He is a mormon, probably doing missionary work there.

There are small populations of mormons living in Bolivia, particularly the lowlands (which is where Wright's been fighting.) I see he's had about five fights there now according to Boxrec.
