The Boxing thread

David Haye snapped his Achilles and carried on with one leg for 9 rounds!

Boxers dont quit, they get stopped or pulled out by their corner! That is why they are a different breed! DDB quit that night!

Talking absolute shite then if you're comparing a snapped Achilles to a broken orbital bone. Easy saying he quit you would of been on the deck in agony if it was you. Why risk losing your eyesight when you can recover and go again? Seems like he made the right choice now doesn't it!

it stinks of ITV2 that fight!

Or Comedy Central

 

[crooky]

to be fair, he was more than happy twatting Putin's men on the front line in Ukraine before Fury opened his big mouth!

Has he been fighting in the Ukrainian Army then? First I've heard about that.

Not necessarily, was reading before the latest fight that he was a fan of them lot from Trafford

You do know that Usyk beat him inside 9 rounds 16 months ago, dont you?

Yea..
And??


He's a different fighter now.

Hasim beat Lewis once too you know..

 

[MMA]

I honestly don't mate! Usyk is that technically good, he is almost Booring, just like Mayweather!

If Hatton would have gone to the distance with Mayweather, we would have all said he was robbed and should have won. But In truth, Hatton and Fury lost their unbeaten records to boxers who are just better than them and who have never been beaten!

Mentally Usyk is up there with the best! Usyk has beaten Tyson Fury twice because he wasn't scared of the Bully. Just like Lewis and Hollified wernt scared of Mike Tyson!

Ricky lost because of what he was putting up his nose and in his belly.
And a bent referee..

All his own downfall( apart from the ref splitting them up every time when Ricky was trying to work the inside) ..
.
He could have beat Mayweather when Ricky was in his prime.

He never would have beat Manny though. .. styles make fights.

He will have to lose 49lbs, he is a heavyweight.

Glad someone else said this, Imagine a 19 years old dropping 49lb to drop down a weight!

I loved Ricky. But he did not (imo) have enough talent to beat Mayweather. Mayweather is one the greatest, if not the greatest lb 4 lb fighter that has ever lived. His resume is staggering.
