Eric Aiken @ FW rating?

hamed · 02-02-2008, 11:52 AM

Anyone seen or have one of him @ 126? After seeing him last night @ 130, I think it's probably safe to say his best days are behind him & they were @ 126. He is an ex IBF champ & has a decent punch with I think 12 KO's in his 16 wins.

Sorry hamed. Just looked in my DB. No dice

Aiken is probably finished as a B-/C level fighter. He has a good punch but he can be outboxed by better fighters (e.g. Guerrero, Mashaba, Meza-Clay).

"Mighty Mouse" will probably be a gatkeeper/trialhorse to finish his career.

Thanks for checking a87.

Yeah I agree, I'm always a fan of guys who can punch & if their chin is shaky too, those fighters are rarely in dull fights.

I watched Aikens fight last night and really was amazed at how well Meza-Clay did being so short. That guy never stopped working, i don't remember when i have seen someone throw that many punches.

I've always kind of seen him as club fighter who got lucky that Pereira wouldn't quit fouling. Sort of like that 2 or 3 rated fighters who gets lucky in TB but then demolished the next time out.

Could be Mike, I see him as a 4 or 5 but who knows.

Speaking of a 2 rated fighter, I saw a 2 in the CW's yesterday (from Eastern Europe, as I recall) with a 9 HP. That could be a dangerous fighter to pad your record on.

Thanks for the new Aiken rating! A 5 with an 8 HP, perfect!

He's already 1-0 in my uni via a 4th round TKO.
