Been a rough year for the UK heavyweight scene

[LetOutTheCage]

Personally im more excited about some of the up and coming heavyweights. Dubious in particular looks a very good prospect.

Also looking forward to Fury vs Wilder rematch if it goes ahead. First fight was full of drama

Hughie Fury getting knocked out by Povetkin will be the next casualty

Ain't happening, the midget loses a wide UD.

Wilder's pretty damn good at what he does.

People say the same **** about Marciano but most HW champs who ever lived would not have caught Walcott in the manner Rocco did.

It isn't easy to walk through fire and drop a bomb so big it blows away the original flame entirely my dude.

Patience, posture, position, powerline, Wilder's beastly. I'll hear nothing other.


Sure, yeah, his hit and don't be hit back game ain't great but let's be honest Wlad owned the division for a decade using amatuer techniques on tracks and Wilder doesn't hardly use his boxing per se so much as what folks just call "punching" these days.

Rocky fought like a dude with a short sword and a round shield. Wilder fights like a guy with a light shield and 3/4 spear. They're very similar even if they look different, the difference is really body type and how you hide the deathblow being short and being tall. I reckon Wilder is the most Marciano since Marciano. He even gets Rocky's criticisms!

Different doesn't make it bad. 49-0, 41-0, the ancient form still hold weight. Respect the sword and shield style. Hit and don't be hit back is just pansy ass fencing **** anyway.

This is an unusual and good analysis, I agree Wilder is underrated overall and a good explanation. All these guys know is Floyd Mayweather, hit and dont get hit, as they've only started following boxing in this era. There are many ways to skin a cat.

This is the beauty of boxing, and what separates it from most sports. When you think you've seen it all, a guy comes along and does something different.

Wilder almost killed Fury and Fury ran from the rematch to fight a bum

Nope, Fury took Wilder's best shot and then proceeded to win the rest of the round, heart of a lion.

Why would Fury rematch him on a pbc promotion when they robbed him the first time.

Fury is levels above any American HW.

Even someone like Joe Joyce would KO any American HW not named Wilder.

British HW boxing is actually in great shape.

Fury is rated No1 in the world by many and the best is yet to come from him.

Dubois is a great prospect, and people tend to forget that Hughie Fury is only 2 years older than DD and could improve massively as he matures.

And it's way too soon to be writing off AJ and Whyte. AJ is just one fight away from being back where he was before he lost his titles and I think Dillian will be cleared of PED abuse when his case goes before the panel and reinstated as WBC mando.

...... The truth!

Once Whyte is removed from all the rankings, Joshua is your last heavyweight. Once he quits against Ruiz again you won’t have to worry, there won’t be any more threads about UK heavyweights.


Or do you guys count Fury as a Brit again? Last I heard you all thought he was gypsy scum. Ironic he’s the only Brit with a chin and a heart.

I love how Fury's a dirty gypo until he's all they have left.

[kafkod]

And don't forget this guy. He's coming into his prime, best form of his career, got his head right, killed all his demons etc ....

We all know who won the fight

Fury might have fought some stiffs but he also chased Wlad until he got a shot and beat him

Come of a 3 year drug binge and went right after Wilder and beat him

So yeah he fought some stiffs but he’s also shown a willingness to chase and beat the best, which other top HW’s haven’t been doing
