Boxing is dying...no it's already dead

[Foreign Soil]

Grabbox would get caught by a straight left before impersonating a falling tree, like in Rahman 1. Dude was on ***** street in the opening rounds vs Vitality, who was more of an accumulation puncher.

Holdhammad would have to pull out all the tricks in the book to kill time and extend rounds for recovery after being sent to the canvas, and even then he'd still get outshuffled.

When you see a Russian bum like Grabimir Clinchko, a pathetically weak excuse for a pugilist, on top of the HW division you know our sport is in dire trouble. This guy has the worst chin of all time, he makes Floyd Patterson look like an iron chin warrior. Absolutely no heart whatsoever, the man can't fight a lick. He is fighting a bunch of fat, stiff horrible bums that wouldn't be fit to be sparring partners in the golden era and he even has the audacity to try and compare himself with the GOAT Joe Louis???

He is so scared to go toe to toe with his terrible opposition that he has to hug them like tight like he wants to make a baby....We are all waiting for the day when a true fighter like a smokin Joe Frazier, Muhammad Ali or Jack Johnson comes around and whips all these bums and bring some respectability to the once great division. The most noble thing Grabimir can do if he cares about the sport is to relinquish his titles and let a decent action fighter like Wilder take over and bring a little excitement back.

Rant over.

So you value a fighter who has never been more than four rounds in 32 fights over a man who has made 17 defenses of his title against all comers?

Until Wilder beats Stiverne, there is no argument here.

Boxing will never be saved, and it will never die..


At the end of the day, it's 2 guys fighting and punching each other in the face,,, that never gets old

I agree man. It will never be as prominent as it once was (maybe, who knows) yet on the other hand it will never be totally gone either.

A lot of things in boxing suggest to many that as a sport it is in the gutter and some people are kind of right, but as you said, two people fighting will always bring about interest.

... Boxing emerges from antiquity...
... In 588 BC, during the 48th Olympiad, Pythagoras (the philosopher of Samos) was excluded from the boys' boxing contest, but he went on to the men's contest and successfully defeated all his opponents. So, Pythagoras became Olympic Champion at boxing.

Just a question for the Grabimir fans....Do you guys really think if Grabimir would have gone 10 years undefeated if he fought in the late 80s-90s against the crop of fighters active then?

Mike Tyson

This guy wouldn't have come close to getting a title shot. He would make a good sparring partner though.

Depends on how seriously Lennox takes the fight, he's always looked poorly when he's not in shape and doesn't take the fight seriously. Like his fights with Rahman, McCall, Vitali, 3 fights he didn't take seriously and came in out of shape, although he was really way past it vs Vitali, that's when he was at his worst.

In shape Lennox destroys Sanders, just like he'd do to Vitali tbh.

Ali wouldn't have gotten touched lol.

You mean the fight that is 6 years overdue and will probably never happen? This is one of the biggest problems outside of the disastrous HW division. The best refuse to fight the best.
