The Boxing thread

I often wonder who is the best.. Tyson or Fury, who would win that. tbh Tyson was an absolute animal, just a pure fighter, no glitz, just rage. Boxing has taken a step backwards over the years tbf.

A prime Iron Mike absolutely obliterates the Gypsy king all day long imo.
 
Is boxing still a thing? Seems like they’re rinsing the last drops out of it before it goes the way of athletics. Folk questioning wether fury would beat Tyson??? Hahaha. Lewis would knock shite out of fury never mind Tyson. Most of them look like they should be in Japan wearing nappies and pushing folk out of circles.

That's not necessary so. First he'd have to get near him with the height and reach disadvantage. Second Fury can take a punch and carry on. Wilder banged him as hard as he could and couldn't knock him out

Wilder is no Mike Tyson. Mike Tyson pre jail conviction and with Kevin Rooney in the corner would destroy Tyson fury with ease in fact there. Isn’t many who would survive Mike Tyson .

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.

Mike would have glided with ease slip punching n opening him up, you got's to factor in just how friggin persistent a prime n impeccable Mike was, he was absolutely possessed obsessed with getting through n claiming the prize, no matter the size.

I honestly couldn't see Fury living with what Mike would unleash downstairs, let alone swivel pivot uppercuts.

A carrying-on-Fury would've just pissed Mike off n end up getting battered, brutally !

...Fury goes down like Holmes did, if i had to call it !!!
 
Rooney said 'if he ever goes heavy we're in trouble'...viewing a light heavyweight evander.

What a shout that was.
 
Furys different to mr i'm gonna kill ya kids and rape your wife...he wont curr out when the going gets tough.

Everybody knows tyson was psychologically damaged by givens and don 'after' the douglas fight...nobody booked sky to see him get beat...truth is he aint all that when his opponent isnt scared of him and douglas had reason to not be scared.

The night evander didnt take a backwatd step he weighed 14' 7.

I think this sums up boxing.
Guys coming out of retirement and taking on boxers that are younger, sharper, faster , fitter and hungrier.
Holmes, Ali and Tyson himself all fighting long after their careers should have finished.
I used to play squash a good few years ago and you could only go up and down the ladder playing opposition ranked 2 above or below you.
You couldn't take on anyone who was way above or below your ranking.

Not sure who people wanted Fury to fight. Neither Joshua nor Usyk wanted Fury at this point.
Fury also dismantled Chisora far easier than Usyk did.

Usyk was never in the frame as he always stated that he wouldn’t fight until 2023 as he needed time for whatever reasons and as for Joshua who is still a massive name in the division I don’t think it’s that simple as just putting pen to paper on a piece of paper as this would be one of the biggest bouts in British history and would you really want that fight in December with hardly any build up or would you want to stage it in the summer with a massive round the world tour etc. Tyson fury already knew this both fighters but still calls them both shite for not fighting him i fact he we says to usyk anytime anywhere in the ring and says he can’t because he has ti have surgery ha . Fury has lost a lot of respect from the professional boxing circle after that panto on Saturday night .

There was no one for him to fight. He made himself and his mate a load of cash while giving himself some rounds. Yes it's a pantomime, but he managed to get 60K into a stadium for a fight no one wanted to see.
