I still marvel at the simplicity and timing of the Sugar Ray Robinson ko of gene fullmer in their second fight

As long as he still has the hunger and desire, groves will
Be back as he is popular and character and a ticket seller.
Feel he needs to get back with booth and still to using that 'spiteful' jab and moving more - his head movement too seems to of laxed off also!

Agree with some of the earlier points GG must try and reconcile with Booth that combo work really well!
Something has certainly been missing since they split!

Great opportunity for smith!
Will he have to have his first defence v Soto?

Fury is comedy gold! Bixing needs more characters like him 100%

allegedly (don't know why it keeps changing to allegedly)!

allegedly?

Morning all, is the fight going to be shown on sky or allegedly?

Good call for frankie just doesn't have the power at ww

Fairly certain mitchell and hearn will wait and see if crolla can win the wba title as that fight would be easy to make if he does

Sky putting on too much tosh at the moment really has become a case of 'quantity over quality'!
That Birmingham card was poor! Not to mention that Newcastle one
Can sort of work out the regional policy though fights gotta be competitive!

Agree with a lot of the above comments - after the decent win over Guerrero expected Thurman to be matched accordingly pushing towards the real higher elite levels of the ww division this matchup feels like a real step down!

I'd like to see him perhaps fight Christian hammer who tyson fury beat last time out (to see the difference)!
Or failing someone who acts carries a bit of height like a Ustinov, all his opponents are a lot smaller

Povetkin looking in great shape and technically very smart would have too much for wilder.... Though with his obvious power wilder would always carry a punchers chance!

Be great if this were to happen, will be pleasantly surprised if it were to however

Seems a top bloke - good on the podcast - and nice to see they promote from within!

Agree totally should of stayed at Lmw for longer big step up especially v an opponent like the marvellous one!

Had to potential to be a great boxer... Would suggest his passing however is no great loss to humanity

Will be surprised if this goes ahead - can see a very similar outcome to the broner v maidana fight!

A little homage to the great james toney perhaps?!

I reckon he might try and get cotto' mw title before he bails out

A lot of tension in here today... Shame we didn't see some of the same intensity in Vegas!
Cos of the Sky hype machine had not to subconsciously convince ourselves it's going to be another epic! Sadly reality kicked in - floyd was just to good on the night!

Am fed up reading about Khan and mayweather.... Besides which he will be unable to fight in September because of Ramadan!

Something about Froch that you just cannot warm to. Been a good fighter and evidently knowledgeable but insists on talking about himself and is still infatuated with George groves!

Think it's a good thing he vacate the belts especially the Lmw ones....He doesn't need them any more and certainly doesn't need to prove much else!
