The Boxing thread

I think I was spoiled by the range and quality of fighters back in the day and feel all of the current lot are a pale shadow.

I wouldn’t stay up to watch this if it were free, never mind pay for it.

Agree, late 80s, 90s and early 00s were the golden generation, as shown by people badmouthing Tyson now, we didn't appreciate that we were being spoiled.

I subbed to that boxing legends tv on youtube and went through a load of vids. Tyson was hammering people on a fortnightly basis almost. A shame his mentor passed then the other one did, gave that snake Don King a free run to fuck Tyson up.

If Angelo had stayed about, Tyson would be rightly lauded as the GOAT imo, but he lost his mentor and ran into Lewis who's rightly in the GOAT conversation, had reach and weight on him too.

Hagler, Hearns, Duran, Sugar Ray to name a few others. It’s like being used to champagne and someone offering you a glass of flat Aldi cider.

Second rate across the board now and we were indeed spoiled.

Mayweather was the only one really since the turn of the millennium. The two Ukrainians look fantastic though, it's a shame that Usyk is going up a weight class too high but there's no competition at cruiserweight.
 
I can see Fury giving Wilder the run around in this one, there's something about Fury that tells me he has an attitude of I wont go down. I have to have some early horlicks and be tucked in early so I can get up for this.

He's had his jaw tuned by a cruiserweight before mate.
 
I predict several rounds of a fat guy and a mediocre boxer basically cuddling each other and barely throwing a punch before one hits the deck at a round and time already decided ;-)

Less integrity in fights like this than there is in the WWE.
