    Hmm, kind of but not necessarily so. If the HWs would just fight more often and dominate then they could become household names again. Imagine if one of Fury/Joshua/Wilder had smashed the other 2 within 12/18 months - that would have generated huge amount of crossover star-making buzz - whether on ppv or not. There'll always be a place for the toughest guy on the planet.
    I mean, people have heard of them, but i mean people don't fight every month or two weeks like Mike did on the way up. He was very well marketed, at the same time as being exciting as he was. I'd be suprised if the stars could ever align like that again. I watched Mike on free TV in the UK when he was coming up, and watched him free all the way up to maybe the Holyfield fight. Furys got the personality, AJ got the look, Wilders got the power and the knockouts. Now maybe if we could roll them all together.

      He fights like his pops.like that old soviet ggg style except he doesnt look to take punishment. Excited for tzuyu and his future. Think he would beat teixera for his belt.

        Horn was crap but some of you need to take a closer look at the fight, particularly how he handled Horn's rough housing in close. For a start he used every part of his upper body in defence, arms, elbows, shoulders, the lot. Think there was a shoulder roll or two in there as well.

        Never rated him much before but that was an impressive performance given his relative inexperience. The thing is, unlike Horn, he has better trainers and has no problem going overseas to train with the best.

          To be honest Horn did not beat Pac it was a robbery.

            would he not be better at uncle Al. He seems to have all the belts and unless a massive fight. I do not see the top names at that weight fighting
