Comments Thread For: Francois Botha: “I will cut Michael Grant down to size.”

[BostonGuy]

Frans Botha still fighting has NOTHING to do with the "state of the heavyweight division"

It probably has to do with the state of his personal finances.

Archie Moore fought until he was nearly 50.

I wish people would stop all the b1tching and whining about the HW division. So what if the champions are not American anymore - learn to accept it.

Did you update your hw thread to include this fight?...

I can’t believe Grant and Botha are still even fighting, just a prime example to the state of crisis the heavyweight divisions is in nowadays…

This statement makes it sound as if fighters fighting past their prime is some kind of new phenomenon. When in reality it has always been apart of boxing. Jack Johnson whooping the a$$ of an old, fat and out of shape "Great White Hope" in James J. Jeffries comes to mind. And that fight was just over a Century ago and is only one example in a long line of countless fighters who fought long past their expiration date.

Yes, because both are familiar names.

I think Grant still has something left, but Botha is 6 or 7 years past his prime and is in no shape to be fighting.

He's going to be brutally KOed by Grant.
