    Other than a washed up Abraham who has Eubank beaten to make you think his levels have rocketed since the first BJS fight? He still does the same shit even now...loads of posing, flashy fast combinations against opponents not wise enough to use the ring and stay clear of his obvious attacks...

    Agree but on that display last night you'd have to give BJS a decent shout at beating at least one of those guys you mentioned. He'd definitely fancy his chances against Jacobs. Canelo and GGG would be the acid tests but there are ways in which BJS can be a nightmare for either one of them...

    Billy Joe Saunders, outstanding last night in probably on paper the toughest fight of his career. Totally schooled David Lemieux and for me won every round comfortably. About time he demonstrated what he's capable of at the highest level, he's got to be looking to test himself against the elites...

    For the record I agree Lomachenko is the best in the world. To win a fight of that magnitude so easily says it all about the talent of the guy.

    Were you really that impressed? I don't think he ever had to get out of first gear to win that comfortably. My hunch was completely and utterly off the mark I thought that was an embarrassing performance from Rigondeaux considering the skillset he possesses. Constantly ducking well below the...

    Again, without facts there's not much point in being suspicious. Not being funny but I'm a postie from Rawtenstall haha not like I'm going on a crusade to uncover the truth so until someone does expose Pacquiao then there's not really any point in being suspicious. Some of Pacquiao's fights were...

    Major fan of his pal, ever since that Ricardo Torres fight years ago one of the best fights I've seen live. I was a fan ever since that fight and I don't think I've missed one since. Always got up in the early hours to watch him. Shame he never made it over the the UK for a fight, him and Hatton...

    The skill level on show in that Rigo Loma fight will be insane. 100% be getting up to watch that one live. Love watching Lomachenko but got a sneaky feeling Rigo will pull something stunning out of the bag and get it done inside the distance. I know there's a 2-weight jump for Rigo in this fight...

    So why has Khan never had a spell in his career where he destroyed everyone in front of him? He's been the same fighter and had the same flaws his whole career. I do get the doubt but the suggestion that he might have had something to hide doesn't automatically make me believe that he did have...

    Wasn't Mayweather demanding all sorts though right up to a couple of days before the fight? Blood testing and the like? Pretty sure blood testing that close to the fight can't have been good for the fighter especially the punishment they go through to make weight as well. Loads of people out...

    Since when did he refuse to take them?

    Seen the injury, not ideal obviously it basically stopped him from being able to win anything from round 8 on. If we're honest though, Cotto was struggling well before that. Hit hard and hurt early doors, timing off, jab not nearly as authoritative as it used to be. He wasn't the same Cotto even...

    No comments been made since this post last week, shame given that it was the farewell of a modern legend. The fight itself showed flashes of what made Cotto so good in his prime but over the twelve rounds it was obvious that he's slipped considerably and is well and truly right in his decision...

    Rigondeaux vs Lomachenko tomorrow night. This could well be one of the most highly skilled match ups in the recent history of the sport. Both sensational technicians.

    Also Joseph Parker's team in the news today, saying Hearn submitted an AJ offer by email that was so ridiculously low that it must have been a hoax, and that they would not acceot a single cent less than 40% of the pot for a unification with AJ. What do we make of that?

    Again, the control of the paydays is not lost on me, and I never didn't acknowledge the monetary value, I'm just not interested in the financial side of it, more the boxing side of it. I know full well the power Matchroom have in the sport, I follow the sport enough to know where the power is. I...

    None of that is 'lost on me' pal. I don't doubt that there is a degree of protection going on with Wilder until they can get the AJ fight, I'm completely aware that has gone on for years in many different forms across boxing's history. However what is lost on me is how and why Dillian Whyte is a...

    Why the fuck would Dillian Whyte be avoided by Wilder? Bang average and only has any name of any relevance because of the AJ fight and he managed to land a good shot to wobble him. I have never been impressed with him, he went life and death with a washed up Chisora and that Helenius fight a...

    Yes I've heard him talk plenty, he does talk utter nonsense. He's a yank, it comes naturally. And no of course I don't believe these guys were actually scared of him but of course he was going to cling to it and use it as an angle to try and claim he is a feared man. What else is he supposed to...

    jay_mcfc Joined: 7 Mar 2006 Location: 8010 posts New I'd like to see AJ v Parker next year in March time at Wembley as that would be an easier fight for him than Wilder. Then Wilder in Vegas in Autumn 2018 followed by Fury in Spring 2019 if all gos to plan. Thats a fight wilder should go for...
