Comments on: Zbikowski moves his boxing record to 4-0 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/04/24/zbikowski-moves-his-boxing-record-to-4-0/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Wed, 22 May 2013 23:50:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: oumoonunit http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/04/24/zbikowski-moves-his-boxing-record-to-4-0/#comment-1038344 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 02:51:00 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=126831#comment-1038344 People who are giving this guy crap don’t know anything about boxing. You don’t just step in the ring and fight a contender. If a contender beat him, they would get no credit b/c they fought a nobody. Boxing takes more time than football; you have to keep fighting lesser boxers in undercards before you even get a shot at even a mediocre boxer.

Go Zbikowski! Goodluck in the future, and you will be in better shape than any other player after the lockout.

It sounds like his sole boxing experience is the movie Rocky where a “tomato can, bum” flies from “club fighting” and wins a World Championship.

He obviously doesn’t understand the dynamics of boxing, barnstorming to build a name and your reflexes which Zbikowski is doing or, well … anything else.

Frankly, Zbikowski should be the “bum” to the people he’s fighting. They’ve got years of experience and he’s a kid who hasn’t even professionally trained since he fought Golden Gloves 8 years ago.

As for guys like Ray Lewis saying they’d knock him out, love to see it. Ray would be on the canvas in 90 seconds.

I watched a Bantamweight with a 3-2 career record knock out a 245-pound linebacker from Miami in under 20 seconds in full pads at Grant’s gym in ’98. That’s a 127-pound difference.

Mabye you should try your best to see if you can book a fight with him. The way you run your mouth on here all the time im sure your a tough guy. The guy is a football player in the NFL and looks to be doing something he loves and keeps him in shape.

Mabye you want him to be like the other players that have been in the news lately for getting arrested, stabbed, not paying bills. Would that make you happy?

My friend’s grandfather was Michael Grant’s first trainer and I had the privilege as a child of getting to go to a lot of his fights, even when he fought Lennox Lewis for the Heavyweight Championship. Some of those guys looked like they were picked up off the street.

The point is, Michael was purely a professional boxer. Zbikowski isn’t purely a professional boxer. He’s just doing something he’s passionate about and he doesn’t have the time to train for fighters that the people on here dogging him want him to fight.

What do you want him to do, challenge Guillermo Jones to a fight? Should he jump in the ring with Steve Cunningham?

That’s like sending a high school All-American in to play MLB for the Ravens.

Either enjoy the headlines or go away.

Jesus Christ.

Then Talib wouldn’t be so quick to fight his teammates.

Its not going to easy like these fights have been.

This is how all boxers work their way up. He’s starting small, fighting often, and working on the small aspects of his game. If anybody thought he would or should get in the ring with a contender right away, they are an ignorant mook. If Zibby talked about getting in the ring with anybody good right away, he’d be the mook. He’s doing it the right way, starting at the bottom…he just gets pub because he’s a football player in a lockout and PFT has nothing better to report on right now. If he were to keep doing this for another year or so then maybe he’d be fihting decent guys, winning or getting his ass handed to him. But good on him for doing it the right way, not trying out for a professional team right away like some people who’s name is their numbers did.

It sounds like boxing is something he enjoys, but he knows what butters his bread and does not want to mess that up. More power to him and I hope he has fun.

Who has Zibby fought? Seriously, his four fights have come against guys who were pretty much marshmallows and not nearly as chiseled or as quick as he is

The guy he fought last night was slower than a turtle. No disrespect to Zibby and the hard work he’s been doing, but his competition has been so bad that it’s made him look good.

Seriosuly, talk to me when he goes against someone who has a little more experience and is in better condition.

Tomatoe Cans. Bum of the Month. This back up safety would last one round with a Top 50 caliber fighter. Also I don’t want to hear how he’s the best back-up safety in the NFL from Notre Dame or Ravens people. This is a non-story, he’s not even getting respect from his teammates when most have said they would whup him. Pro-player….thumbs down.

Btw Wes Welker is training harder than most and if you morons believe differently, his plan worked.
