Joppy was dreadful, man. The guy arguably lost to Howard Eastman, that's how bad he was. In an era of 'weak' champions, he was one of the worst....
Mayweather UD12. He'll do enough to keep his 0 and get his paycheck. He'll have no interest in going for the KO. He hasn't bothered with that sort...
There is no real evidence of ANYTHING so far as Tito at 160 is concerned. His entire campaign there is a stoppage win against a very weak...
Nah, he wasn't. It was his standout win but he wasn't in his prime. Anyone who had seen him in his thirty-odd fights beforehand could see that....
Prime Hatton was a much more mobile fighter than the sloth he turned into by the time Frunk finally put him in with a live opponent. Hatton had...
I've done this discussion to death with other posters so won't retread old ground. My view is that Tito was a phenomially powerful welterweight...
Benn hit like a motherfucker and didn't make Eubanks gunshy. Watson had him out on his feet and Eubanks still got up and near killed him. Hearns...
Prime Hatton was too fast for Matty Ice. He'd have gotten inside him and bust him up while giving him little room to let his hands go. Hatton...
Good call. Conversely, Watson-McCallum also fits the thread. MTF
AgREED. There is no sensible argument that Tito's 'prime weight' was 160. The only argument is that he brutally stopped a guy who arguably lost...
Hatton has precisely two fights at 147. In the first he near lost to Luiz Collazo. In his second he got brutally stopped. At 140 he was unbeaten...
Pacquiao's destruction of Hatton was the first one that springs to mind. Foreman's destruction of Frazier was another. MTF
Like his father has with darts, he has tapped into a particular demographic and made a product which appeals enormously to them. MTF
McGregors fight was on BT Sport. You pay about £10 a month to subscribe to that channel. Most of those who have it do so because football is shown...
Brook became something of a mainstream figure by the end of his run. I can't find his PPV numbers (SKY are actually quite poor at publishing a lot...
Hatton v Manny. On at stupid-O'clock in the morning too: 'could have easily done one million buys' (Pacquiao-Hatton PPV numbers something to...
It also took place on a channel which has about three and a half million subscribers. Those fight numbers I quoted are PPV numbers, for fights not...
Antony is right that MMA is popular here. It has certainly grown in popularity over the last five years or so. But unlike elsewhere, this rise in...
The first film was actually very good. I enjoyed it the first time I saw it and enjoy it each time I rewatch it (which is reasonably often). The...
And yes, Joshua is a HW and HW fight are still 'big' fights. But even fights like Froch - Groves sell around a million PPV's in the UK...
That article is full of MMA talking heads boasting about how popular MMA is. They are hardly impartial on that matter and there is little...
MMA in Britain is popular, sure, but it is still nowhere near as popular as boxing is. Boxing's popularity here is rising, and has risen pretty...
Jesus fuck... MTF :D
Basically AgREED. The Mayweather who lit Chico up wins this in about a minute. This version of Floyd could well coast to a boring 12 round...
'Casual' fans are exactly that. Casual fans. They read online fansites, they watch PPV's and they talk lots and lots of shit. I've heard a good...
I'll be watching, but watching behind my hands. It'll be the only time in a decade I'll be willing Mayweather to spark out his opponent, and in...
I'd have backed the eight-hundred and fifty year old version of Emile Griffith that Minter beat to knock out Amir Khan. I'd back Amir Khan's...
I haven't seen anything from Canelo at MW that would persuade me that he would even beat Kevin Finnigan, who Minter beat, let alone Minter. What...
Canelo has done precisely nothing to suggest he would beat even the likes of Minter and Vito. Who has he beat at MW? Paul Smith and Amir Khan?...
Ward has built himself a pretty impressive resume despite not fighting too often, but nothing in that resume suggests he could beat Jones Jr....
Separate names with a comma.
