He wanted no part of Magarito. Magarito posed less of a threat of than Crawford would.
Estranged since 2023 due to Ricky's Dad taking exception to the documentary that was released about Ricky that year. They were estranged for much...
Crawford's range, jab and fight IQ make him a tough match up for Mayweather. No chance Mayweather would have fought him though. Had their careers...
Mayweather also probably bottled it from fighting Winky Wright. Wright agreed to all of Mayweather's terms (purse, weigh in, etc). Mayweather...
After checking Steward's thoughts, it does appear that the gameplan was to box conservatively against Tua, as Steward believed Tua's power carried...
Briggs was known as a puncher also. As stated, he also went after Tua early. I don't think he took Rahman seriously, at least the first time. He...
Lennox didn't tend to fuck about against punchers. I think he would stop Dubois within 4 rounds.
I've enjoyed some of Hauser's work over the years, but on this occasion he's identified a problem [Paz's induction] and given solutions that would...
I've long felt that Joshua would be well on top, hurt Wilder, then get buzzed while looking for the finish. Similar to how Joshua was buzzed when...
Bakole would beat 70s Foreman was one of the daftest opinions I've read while lurking on there.
80s Tyson and Lewis would probably be the worst style match -ups for Usyk you could think of at HW. 70s Foreman being another.
"Wilder disregarded Michael Spinks’s credentials " Wilder could only dream of having a name on his record comparable to 85 Holmes ffs. And that...
Beterbiev by late stoppage. I think he can pin Bivol to the ropes often enough and do enough damage to break Bivol down.

Joshua would not at all be able to deal with peak Tyson coming at him and countering his lead hand. He also doesn't have a good enough clinch to...
Apparently Khan wrote in one of his books that he never became the superstar in the UK he thought he would become. Anecdotally, I don't think he...
He's also not very good at clinching. Usyk and Ruiz [first fight] had few issues rendering his clinches ineffective.
He's often had a tendency to get buzzed while hunting for a KO [see Ruiz 1 or vs Whyte]
A good chance? Yes, but I would still pick Whittaker to beat Mayweather in a competitive fight on points. A lot of Mayweather's best weapons...
He probably lasts longest against Holmes, but I doubt he would last beyond the mid rounds even with him. Lennox gets rid of him in similar...
Yep Not only was peak Duran better than peak Floyd, he would have also been also wrong for him stylistically.
I find Usyk far more dependable at this stage of their careers. Usyk is a bit older, but he has lived the life of an athlete and is dedicated to...
Indeed same reasons he never wanted to box John Ruiz. Steward; "Well it was funny. Lennox was a strange guy. He didn’t put all that super value...
I think he was worried about how little money he would bank from boxing Byrd.
There has long been rumours of Lennox not wanting to fight southpaws, and this being a reason why he vacated the IBF belt rather than fight Byrd....
Usyk would have always been all wrong for peak Wilder. A southpaw who would keep him turning and unable time his right hand, with a great chin and...
Usyk in the pros easily
Usyk cleaned out a very impressive cruiserweight division and did so while fighting away from home. He has now beaten two out of the three best...
I had rounds 1 and 8-11 as clear Usyk rounds I had 4-6 as clear Fury rounds Rounds 2, 3, 7 and 12 were all close imo, but I gave Usyk rounds 2...
Only way I could have given 7 rounds to Fury is if I had gave him the benefit of the doubt in all the close rounds (2, 3, 12) As it happened, I...
