Why, are you putting a big wedge on AJs next opponent?

He has to be in a keep busy fight next. Eddie Hearn aint nobodies fool. He will match him with a winnable fight a no risk fight to get him going again. Well I would be going for either of these fighters if Hearn matched AJ with Joe Joyce or Wilder I would be putting my money on them. I think he needs a test maybe a rematch with Dillan Whyte might make sense easy to make but a risky test for AJ.

I thought the fight was against Hearn and Warren's wishes? If Warren was in control Fury would not have lost the belt to Usyk.

I dont think you can keep AJ and Whyte apart its a rematch that makes sense in a lot of ways and should happenin 2023 for me. Only time will tell. AJ will be question if he fights someone outside the top 10 so you got to get him someone on the way out to build up his confidence.

Anyone watch the Warrington fight?

Entertaining, and probably the right decision.

Warrington loves jumping in with his head, he wants to fight close up but then punches like he's at distance. Must have caught Lopez on the back of the head 7 or 8 times.

Anyone watching this fight on Sky now? The guy Gibbs's gumshield has come out about 6 times already, he's had three points took off him already for it. I've never seen anything like it.

What an effect that had on the result.

I think 1985-1989 Mike Tyson would wipe the floor with every heavyweight that came after that period of time.

There have been better heavyweight boxers than Tyson, but there’s a case to be made that nobody who has ever fought at heavyweight would beat 1980s Tyson. He was 20 year’s old and had hard experienced heavyweights shitting themselves just seeing him walking into the ring. He was a fucking animal!

Tyson lost his edge and a bit of fear factor in the 90s, but even 90s Tyson would still beat every heavyweight around today.

People should remember that when Tyson fought at his peak, nobody was debating whether he'd win or not. It was about whether his opponent would survive or not.
