YNWA

hmmm.... possibly not

what's people's opinions on best venue for a fight? my fight going experiences are limited to Liverpool and with the best will in the world the Echo Arena ain't in the running haha

For just all round C U N T ishness? Wife beaters are bad at the best of times but when they are trained fighters.... So for me for starters: PBF

Possible or a pipe dream? Would literally make boxing 100 times more interesting

Apologies if this thread has been done before, which it undoubtedly has, but haven't been on here for a while... I might be going the fight next week so just wondering what people think Price's plan should be if he beats Thompson... Taking into consideration a fight against Tyson Fury probably won't happen for a while yet. Go the US and maybe fight Deontay Wilder and get a following over there? Target someone like Adamek or another ex-Klitchsko victim? Thoughts?

where, realistically, would make a great venue for a big fight that hasn't been used before? David Price's wish to fight at Anfield got me thinking Borrusia Dortmund's ground would be amazing with it's steep terraces the big cricket ground in Australia - the MCC is it called? any more...?

maybe not straight to the klitschkos I personally think povetkin should be next

bit of a simplistic way of putting it I know and sure loads of people will say a combination of both is ideal which is obviously but theoretically: is punch resistance or punch power a better measure of toughness in your opinion?

name examples please

and I'm not just talking pay per views can anyone else name a fighter who has managed to earn fans across asia, europe and north and south america so well? every fight fan loves him and please noone say oscar, he was a south / north america phenomenon rather than a worlwide thing

yep imo his undefeated record will always be tainted if he doesn't fight him

the surest way of losing lung capacity and stamina surely? apparenntly ricky hatton smokes like a fire between fights and, can't remember which, it's either la motta or marciano used to smoke 20 a day any other elite fighters who smoke?

frank bruno, despite being a bit of a pudding, looked like a bodybuilder post other charles atlas types

erm... ?

for example; do more average brits know who calzaghe/hatton is or do more americans know who pbf/hopkins is? seems to be a decent comparison - two of the most high profile fighters from each country over the past 10 years i'd wager the uk has a higher awareness of internationally famous fighters i mean, my mum knows clazaghe and hatton are fighters and she knows **** all about anything haha

which is more interesting?

always amazed me how at least half of pro HWs are overweight, some slightly, some VERY. i mean i know there's no weight limit but how on earth can they expect to compete when overweight? i'm not a pro athlete, i probably drink too much, at a weekend at least, and only eat reasonably well (odd burger king now and then but mostly eat sensibly) and go the gym or for a run 3 or 4 times a week and i'm not fat so how and why do men who rely on fitness and stamina allow themselves to get so fat? if i was a even a semi-decent pro i'd have a better body than most of them. this thread isn't really a question i'm just wondering why some fighters are fatter than some people who don't even try and keep in shape. surely training consistently for fights must keep you at least semi- slim??!!

fightin on 30th October at the liverpool echo arena against tony quigley and i've got tickets!!! still only 26. massive potential. had easily the highest puch strength when on the contender and brilliant all-round skills buddy mcgirt said he was a definate for world champ status. i honsetly think it's now his time to shine

i think finally people are realising that despite a slightly awkward looking style and stance he's a master at judging and controlling range, distance and perimeter how many HWs past or present can/could get away without a high guard against renowned punchers and never be in trouble simply through the abilty to eliminate their danger through clever movement, jabs and footwork

if so from what age? if taught from a young age would make kids fairly equally skilled/tough and so cut down on bullying surely?

no weapons obviously - do what the **** they want in terms of butting, elbows, knees, wrestling, holding etc - could any boxer, indeed any combat fighter, beat brock lesnar in a one-on-one? and i'm not a ufc or brock fanatic by the way i just sincerely think he is quite possibly the most formidable combat athlete that has ever lived

im thinking maybe vitali because of his kickboxing ability, reach and power and prime tyson due to pure animal aggression, power and fearlesness opinions please

recently froch v taylor was pretty amazing any suggestions while i think of more?

so someone with inherent toughness, strength, speed and agility who might not ever have thrown a punch in anger before but with a bit of training would be a formidable unit jonah lomu ( new zealand rugby player back in the day before his degenerative diseases) andrew sheridan (english rugby player who can almost beat the world weight lifting record) numerous fijian and new zealand maori rugby players - i dont like rugby so god knows what their names are i'll have a think of others while other people add their own - gotta be some US footballers who can join this gang surely?

vegas and the garden are the home of boxing that's undoubtable but the arenas are small why are the fights in the US never in bigger arenas? whereas in europe they hold them in football stadiums and get 50,000+ they hold them in 10,000 capacity arenas in the US. was talking about this with me mates yesterday and we couldnt think why. surely more fans=more money?

my mcafee security thinks this site is proper dodgy

didnt want to use the word hate in the title as i dont hate anyone ive never met but b-hop, despite the fact i think he's brilliant, pissed me off when he said no white man could ever beat him you're wrong mate they can

they allow professional millionaire footballers, basketball players and athletes to compete so why are boxers penalised? i mean PRO boxers by the way. won't let me edit the title

it's surely can't just be coincidence that they dominate the higher weights these days. i know all the american boys will argue that it's a shit era but the fact is pretty much as soon as they were allowed to fight pro they cleaned up, at HW at least

i'd say yes definately far too many people presuming he'll win easily imo
