    Yeah the word with Yoka is that he has a suspect chin. Alarm bells should have been ringing with how slowly they've moved him. Think he was hurt early and had no answer. Decent long range boxer but once he got hit he lost his legs, lost any plan, and lost any real interest in trying to win the...

    Brendon McCullum announced as England's test coach

    Did Hesson apply?

    That looks pretty good. dunno about Fury at 4 though, and I think GGG still makes it, as does Lomachenko I'd go something like 1. Usyk - best cruiserweight of all time, undisputed there and then beats AJ at heavyweight. 2. Canelo - undisputed at super MW, and one of the better resumes 3...

    BJS was taking monster shots to the body the whole fight. No, it wasn't high volume or anything, but Canelo was definitely doing the better work. I actually thought Canelo would avoid BJS after watching the latter's work on Lemieux, I thought it might be a difficult style match up, but he...

    Right. He ducked prime GGG then lost to old GGG. And he's used the weight divisions more as a way of picking and choosing fights rather than truly just going up to fight the best available, the way Lomachenko and Usyk and Inoue have done. Still, I guess I'm reacting to the reaction because he...

    No I'm just biased against the fake-slick fighters and their fans that act like throwing out an ineffectual jab and running around the ring is "ring generalship". Saunders wasn't doing anything effective, it was not a competitive fight. Other examples of this being Hughie Fury.

    Bivol has always been one of my favourite boxers. Joe Smith Jr vs Beterbiev could be interesting. Beterbiev is not without flaws, and got dropped by Callum Johnson. He also could be ageing.

    You might have missed the part where I picked Bivol to win this fight, in this very thread. I hate Canelo's diva tactics as much as anyone, particularly the ducking GGG until he was well past his prime then getting an outrageous decision then the Mexican meat saga. Still, he has legite good...

    Agreed 168 is his best weight these days.

    Boxing thread

    Look I'm no Canelo fan but you're going way overboard here. Tyson Fury doesn't have Canelo's skills, nor has he achieved half of what Canelo has achieved. Also, Saunders did not win a single round against Canelo, unless you just listen to weird UK/Sky commentary. He was getting murdered from...

    Boxing thread

    Think that's a bit harsh. Dude was fighting at light-heavyweight, well above his natural weight, and fighting (IMO) the best in that division (yes I think he's better than Beterbiev). Not only is Bivol very good, and bigger than Canelo, he's also a nightmarish style match for him and I can't...

    Yeah i had it 9-3 or 10-2. At most you could give Canelo 4 rounds, and that's being very generous.

    that was an absolute boxing masterclass from Bivol. Completely took over from about round 4.

    I'm not a gambling man but the odds for Bivol at the bookies are outrageous. For me the more I think about it the more I make him the slight favourite. I think it's a step too far for Canelo.

    Had Taylor winning that fight by one round. Thought the commentators were a bit biased towards Serrano. Probably deserves a rematch.

    Boxing thread

    Whyte's stance is usually not that square but because Fury didn't let him get inside at all he had to abandon his normal style and squared up in rd 6 leading to an easy KO. In any case Whyte should retire. His chin has gotten progressively worse and he's been in a lot of wars with AJ, Parker...

    It is a stylistic nightmare for Whyte if Fury is at his best. Whyte is a good counter puncher and a good jabber but has nothing else, and has terrible footwork so will not be able to catch anyone who can effectively keep him on the outside. The only question for me is if Fury is actually at his...

    Spence Ugas in a couple of days, great fight.

    Boxing thread

    GGG is a huge puncher but Bivol is 2 weight classes heavier and is in his physical prime whereas both GGG fights were past his prime. The problem i foresee for Bivol is if they choose a tiny ring. Bivol is a pure boxer with supreme athleticism but has no inside fighting ability to speak of...
