joshua looks legit to me, but then again charles had the belt gifted to him. so many intriguing match ups in the heavyweight division. now we have fury, wilder, joshua, browne, parker and ortiz in the mix!!
people need to remember that joshua was wlads sparring partner not too long ago. and fury deserves respect for being the man to dethrone the man with the second highest title defenses at heavyweight- dr steelhammer. who is a legend and future hall of famer.
fury is the legit champ and the ibf belt should be his.
i am really excited about martin-joshua but both these guys are prospects. joshua did buy the title shot because of hearns backing and martin won by default as glazkov got injured. i still dont get the hate though. regardless of the circumstances and whether the belt is on the line or not we are getting a good fight and props to martin for traveling to england to fight the british wonderboy joshua. we will see a ko for sure.
id like to add that the fury - klitschko fight was a farce and i am glad i didnt have to pay a cent to watch it. i actually fell asleep while watching it. ive decided the days i cant sleep i put on a boring fight. it really helps.
the best boxers after floyd are roman, el chacal and wlad. they are practically unbeatable.
boxing needs a new crossover star like floyd was. even people who dont watch boxing know about floyd and manny.
canelo is huge in mexico but dude needs to beat cotto, and learning english wont hurt. i know roman doesnt speak english either but hes ridic good.
haye is a bum...where is wilder?
would love to see wilder vs ortiz!
winners should fight each other...
we are finally getting some good matchups but i feel it wont last long...too much politics in boxing..its turned me off.
i prefer fury out of the two.. he gives better interviews and seems smarter..del boy is definitely more entertaining but he's also got a couple of screws loose up there
manny gotta think of his health hence the two ****e back to back fights with rios whos as slow as a zombie and algieri who hits softer than paulie....
what a puta for making these guys go up to 147 to fight him... both pacman and floyd are ruining this sport i love.
broner is the biggest idiot in boxing if not sports.
i dont think hes racist tho. hes simply has too low an iq to understand that his words and actions have consequences.
i bet if anyone of us grew up in the kinda environment he did we would have similar problems hahaha.
his fat ass dad really lunches me out
wow whats with all the hate on this thread? it seems you guys have forgotten how pacman was bullied by horn. ko'd by marquez and has not been the same since. if there vada testing, well see a slower pacquiao, the dude is 42, a legend but still an old man in a young mans game. i wish him the best but i doubt he gets past thurman, i wish the legend would retire but he has no quit in him. i for one dont enjoy watching old champs fight beyond their prime and pacman is still very good but way off his prime. i guess he has tax problems and also so many leeches around him so he has to continue his boxing career.
i love fury but he has zero pop, wilder will land and ko his ass back to england. fury has really good footwork but wilder is no slouch on the feet, he was a basketball player ffs.
lol fury couldnt knock me out let alone wilder, he may out jab or out box deontay but itll be a boring fight if he does, as he was simple refuse to engage and hug his way out of exchanges, have you even watched any of these guys box?
i havent seen too many of fury's fights but he is slow and awkward imo i think haye will be too slick and will outbox him. fury is much bigger and has a ridic reach advantage so its a fair fight. i got haye for 5b anyone wanna bet?
i hope they make saunder vs ggg. though i believe the canelo fight will go on and gennady will be robbed yet again. canelo was clearly on a cycle. if you dont believe me check out victor contes take on the situation.
why is canelo not being tested 24/7/365 by VADA??
and why are so many mexicans hating on GGG when canelo failed a drug test? he failed 2 tests.
clearly he is the WBC cash cow and that corrupt organization will back him to the hilt. sad that canelo is the face of mexican boxing. at least we have a lot of good fights coming up. props for GGG for not selling out and staying true to his beliefs. i am surprised by how many fans are upset about GGG still attacking canelo but some men value their beliefs and hold on to their convictions rather than selling out to the highest bidder. its a peasant mentality that some fans possess which is pretty pathetic.
this is an intriguing bout because its hard for me to pick a clear winner. the catch weight makes a big difference as porter is a big boy. they both have malignaggi as a common opponent but i dont think that makes a difference. maidana bullied ab but i think ab took that fight lightly. he still showed that he has a great chin. i think porter is stronger but broner is better technically. porter does lean with his head a lot and throws wide looping shots and can be outboxed by a technically gifted and strong athlete - brook. i cant wait for this fight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
idk man, to me gennady looks bigger than kell...his thickness is apparent. i am still very intrigued by this match up as i really like brook and i think he is the best ww right now.
but still i pick ggg to win by ko. he will man handle brook and close him down via pressure and knock him out. he is clearly the bigger man, i hope kell gets paid to step in there with the kazakh thunder.
i need to watch this fight, but the jacobs - ggg fight was anything but a robbery. ggg clearly won atleast 5 rounds plus had the knockdown. close but you gotta beat the champ to win his belts. great fight tho and good to see DJ get recognition. he is agreat fighter with tremendous heart and chin. also with his back story it is so hard not to like and support the guy.
what now for choco? should he go down in weight, he is small for this division and his power has not carried up with him. also he looks fleshy? or is it just me?
seriously who gives a f about this fight? chavez is a bum and angulo is a punching bag.
both should quit or retire, chavez just doesnt have the discipline and angulo has taken too many beatings.
loving the back and forth btw all the manny/floyd fans...
on another note, when have either of these guys not been shredded at the weigh ins. the reason theyre the best two is cause of their work ethic.
hey can anyone tell me howcome ellerbe is back? i thought he;d been fired???
if postol has a good chin then maybe he has a chance to outbox and out maneuver la maquina. but i dont see that happening. vik does not seem to have enough pop to keep the argentine slugger off've him.
i am stoked were finally in october and weve got good fights coming up. this year boxing has been really terrible so far.
