NSB forum

[Marchegiano]

NSB is the comedy forum buds.

[Slugfester]

No doubt about it. There a a few good posters there, but very few. Not sure why anyone who actually understands fight sport would hang out there much. I've posted some knowledge there for those few, but very little gets read there. No thirst for knowledge.

They thirst for someone or something to trash.

We'd have to have some consensus about "History Unfolding" discussion here, and moderator support too.

I personally would prefer to discuss Usyk vs. Dubois here.

[Willow The Wisp]

I'll try a "Unfolding History" post and see what happens, in terms of allowing a little current event topic to be discussed among the more erudite posters in the history section. Then I'll take my queue from the results.

lemme see here.....


Joshua Does need a top 2 percenter (top 50) replacement opponent here.

Joshua does NOT need a top 15 opponent for this particular fight. No Foolish risks.

IMO, the Highlighted choices would do.

People will pay for Joshua-Fury today as is.

If AJ beats a top ten or a bottom 20 neither will change the gate of the Joshua-Fury fight.

Just have the fight now.

It's Usky's fight, rightfully so, but he just isn't avaiable. So let's have AJ vs. Fury now.

P.S. I guess this is a good example how I usually disagree with the forum. I really don't care about anybody's rankings.

It's a prize fight. Each is an unique event and it's value can be measured by the fan anticipation it creates; prize fighting is not a professional boxing league dictated by standings.

I see AJ-Fury as a great match-up and want to buy it.

Rather have Usky but will take AJ right now.

I'm with you there. Just do it, it's a GREAT event!

The only people needing to see Fury/Joshua to know the near-inevitable result are pitiable provincials minding chapped chuffs. Just hurry up and fight someone, and that goes for all of them, but especially Fury right now.

Some years ago, the great Emanuel Steward predicted that the future of the heavyweights belongs to Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder and Robert Helenius.
And here we are.

I don't see Joshua dropping this one, but nothing in the top 50 is a given. And I don't want A.J. to trip over another underdog on his way to his shot.

Good opponent to get Joshua back to where he needs to be, and another "Era-Significant" name on his resume.
Glad they chose a contender over 6'6".

Looking forward.

The last living Viking will be a good opponent.
