Has anyone seen this guy fight at all? He was in England for quite a while but I can't remember seeing him.

Is he a European prospect at all? (I was going to add this to the European heavy ranking thread from a week or two ago but couldn't find it.)

He is 26 (age) 36-1, his only loss being to Aurthur Cook.

That fight remains the only time he's gone longer than 6 rounds, and despite recent fights at the MGM and Staples centre, the quality of his opponent doesn't seem to have improved a great deal.

Does he have talent and is he a 'contender' in Europe if not somewhere in the world - in which case he seems to have adopted A valuev-type strategy to his career - or is he and his team simply padding the record out in the knowledge that when he faces someone at the next level he'll be demolished?

Baffled with this one. Me with my notorious brains as well :roll:

The general consensus on Sosnowski is that he isn't going anywhere, hence the timid career progress. No great skills or power, and very dubious stamina, hence the 6 rounders. I've seen a few posts on this guy from Polish forum members and even they don't have anything good to say about him.

He did just outscore a completely ancient Orlin Norris though. What were the details of that fight.

Then again, i last saw Norris lose in Denmark to Brian Nielsen in 2001 & Orlin didnt seem to have much left physically, only his wits.

He's a big lump, I've seen him fight the guy who beat Hide on a cut, Kunilingus or some such.

He's competent but slow and ponderous.

He'd be in the Krence/McDermott/Gammer stakes if he were British - IMO.
