Jocky Balboa Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 It's good that there is some excitement in the heavyweight division after the boring Klitschko years. Fury, Wilder, Joshua and Ruiz with the likes of Whyte knocking on the door. A good mix of personalities amongst them which has brought a lot interest back from the general public. The truth is though that they are not of the quality of the top 90's heavyweights. The likes of Lewis, Holyfield, Bowe and Tyson were on a different level in my opinion. Some people saying Wilder is supposedly the hardest punching heavyweight ever. In my opinion the likes of Lewis, Bowe and Tyson hit just as hard if not harder and all had far greater technique. Lewis and Bowe would have flattened Wilder. Holyfield at his best would have walked right through him. Tyson eats him up like pacman. I watched Holyfield vs Tyson I again the other night. Watching how fast, tough and skilled they both were just rammed it home how much better they were than today's top heavies. It was a great era for the heavyweight division many of even the fringe contenders would likely be champions in today's era.Good post, I would have to agree with this, yet it's interesting to note that there was a consensus at the time that Lewis's era was a poor one in heavyweight history, so that's a sad indictment on today's state of play for sure. IMHO Joshua is, like David Haye before him, one of the most overrated heavyweights of the modern era. Link to comment
maryhilldon Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Who was the scouse commentator? I've never heard such over the top arse licking in my life! Outrageous praise for a decent performance. Joshuas arms must be a foot longer than Ruizs, all he had to was jab, stay out of reach and keep moving. Link to comment

Shinniesta Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Fight turned out pretty much how I expected once Ruiz stepped on the scales weighing the best part of 20 stone. It was Buster Douglas all over again. Ruiz talks of a third fight but he doesn't deserve it after such a lame effort both in his training and in the fight. It was the biggest fight of his career and he left himself down badly. Link to comment
Poodler Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I don't understand how they get to that level and pull stunts like not training properly Link to comment

That said, Lennox Lewis would have wiped the floor with AJ and the current competition, except maybe Fury. Link to comment
Poodler Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 What's this franchise champion stuff Link to comment
Don Fonte Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 What's this franchise champion stuffA load of nonsense made up by one of the governing boards to make a new belt. All about money, they charge a sanctioning fee for every fight that's for a title/belt. The more belts they contrive the more money they make. Link to comment
tightbreeks Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 For some reason the wbc belt has become the same value as the other three combined. Probably down to mayweather carrying them and only them to the ring. Its about time the networks got together and have a round robin, like tyson did when he swept up all three. The wbo was merely a trinket back then, or was it even around. It was like hatton, till he beat tzyu, he was wbu champ. A nothing belt. Money to be made for everyone and apart from wilder, i think they should and would be up for it. Link to comment
tightbreeks Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Just watched the dubois fight against the Japanese fellow. Dubois' first jab didn't even connect and the poor lad was all over the shop. Had winning gloves on as well, must've thought he was d man. Link to comment
tightbreeks Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Ring belt is all that matters, that means number one and two in their rankings, which are usually pretty good, had a scrap and the winner got it. That's how josh taylor is now on a p4p top ten, or at least there or there abouts. Again that wbc belt is needed to seal the deal, and they are as crooked as they come. That chavez jr and martinez debacle is just embarrassing. Link to comment
tightbreeks Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Wilder v fury happening, if fury stays on his feet he should win. Winner has to fight joshua. Link to comment
tightbreeks Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Well it all came out in court with Taylor, dishing out homophobic sectarian nonsense on George st. Lucky he can afford a good lawyer and he's on the hogmanay shindig tonight, reign it in champ. Link to comment

Studebaker-90 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 My favourite is Canelo’s on Khan. He’s out instantly. I actually though he was deid. Link to comment
Studebaker-90 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I probably enjoyed it more because Khan is a little gobshite Link to comment
Studebaker-90 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Indeed. Shall we have a fight to resolve this? Link to comment
Don Fonte Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Povetkin's on Dillian Whyte was bloody delicious as well. Not quite as good as Tank's but lovely all the same. Link to comment

Similar move in a way but a lot easier for the big chaps to flatter each other, The Tank fight was really good with LSC fighting a really good fight until he got wiped out, possibly Tank v Lopez which would be a hoot.
