Whatever you do don't look at any of the rankings boxrec/ESPN/Ring etc etc stick to the Al Haymon once upon a time books


LDBC-ers ignoring facts for years , yes if you ignore every expert and ranking system then you might have a point .. in la la land

according to boxrec Wilder now hasn't a SINGLE top 10 heavyweight win on his record ............ pathetic

That’s really not saying much since I’ve said and I’ll repeat this is the weakest HW division in over 50 years. The top 15 from 80-90 mop up today’s division relentlessly.

AJ's performance against Ruiz in their first fight tells me Usyk is going to be a problem for AJ.

AJ has shown to struggle a bit with shorter fighters, and he doesn't have much experience against southpaws. Usyk is gonna have to find a way to zap AJ's gas tank without soaking up too much punishment. Usyk is fleet-footed, but he isn't untouchable so he'll have to be wary of AJ's counter-punching.

Smh whatever. An American just beat one of y'alls great white hope in lomachenko. Another soon to join him. That's the trend with these hopes

Thats some wakanda racist **** right there smh

This & the Fury/Wilder 3 fight could have been done by now…

It will be a boxing chess match for sure and that is to Usyk's advantage. AJ's advantage is his power. In my opinion this is actually a better matchup than AJ and Fury although not as exciting.

How is a lottery ticket money? A lottery ticket is a chance of winning, a minute chance. DUMB again.

"Kings" Dumb yet again.

What? He did get what he asked for in the end and still turned it down. DUMB DUMB DUMB.

Not with standing the meat of your argument, you are using the term incorrectly. The saying stems from saying the person has won the lottery, and/or said person has gotten the winning ticket. When the term is used it is understood that the person has the winning ticket that will win the lottery, not that the person has a ticket that may win the lottery. Again, I am not interested in the rest of the argument, just thought I should point this out

Having a lottery ticket and having a winning lottery ticket/winning the lottery/hitting the jackpot aren't the same thing. Having a lottery ticket means a little chance of winning. Think about it.

Again we are discussing the term not the real world definition of a lottery and how that lottery works. You used a phrase which is used to suggest that the person has the winning ticket. I get what you were going for, but you used the wrong phrase to express your point.

Late 1890s - Late 1920s was better

Late 1930s - Mid 2000s was better

I'd rate the Mid 2010s-2020s above 1930-1935 and 2006-2015 if I was being generous.
