Be fair, it's a long road to becoming the first billion dollar heavyweight.

Good gracious, Roman has finally stepped up to Area level, albeit against a deposed champion.

His incentive to win this one is a possible rematch with Julius Francis.

Hey lets be fair there aren't many who in there 27th fight will take on someone who is comming off a crushing UD against Keith Long (tbh untill I checked Kenna's record I hadn't realised Keith Long was still boxing).

Colin Kenna, what a laugh

Greenberg will toy with him

your talking about boxrec's 39th best fighter in the world and at 25 I feel safe in calling him the hottest prospect in world boxing

Roman Greenberg had talent, and a little promise. But......
He has been over cautiously managed and promoted, he has stagnated to the stage where he may fail to realise his full potential

I never thought he looked that impressive, a bit merchanical in his movement and bad footwork for someone so small, I must admit I aint seen him for about 7 fights or so I kind of lost interest.

Terrible matchup for an overhyped, ridiculously overprotected "prospect".

Yeah, please let us know so dopey can ask Colin whether that's true.
My mate spars with Henry Castle in the same gym, and he's never told me of Colin being KOd in sparring although he had to pull out of the Gammer fight from a cut in sparring.

You are the one who has boasted about knocking him out so you have clearly contradicted yourself by saying what goes on in the gym stays in the gym.
If you are going to talk the talk, walk the walk.
If you do not say who you are now no one will take you seriously.
It may be worth retracting the statement unless you step up to the plate

1Southpaw v Greenburg I say. If iSouthpaw dropped Kenna in sparring then surely this would be the toughest assignment yet for Roman
