Re: Anthony Joshua vs Hughie Fury
Well most obviously Fury, Wilder, and Klitchsko. Ortiz, Povetkin. Those five would definitely beat Joshua. "Ortiz and Povetkin" ??? Ortiz is unknown and unproven quantity, and Povetkin is a coward, only good against fighters smaller/same size as he is ! Anthony Joshua would make EXTREMELY...

Re: Chris Eubank Jr almost kicked it off in Saudi Arabia
This is what I have to say about JJ Mcdonagh's absolute farce of a display and disgrace to the sport of boxing, to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia who allowed an international boxing event to grace it's nation for the first time in history, and a disgrace to the world in general. I say that I believe ma...

Re: Who, in boxing history, can demolish Anthony Joshua?
And the man in his 40's that had him down and gassed was also one of the most consummate fit and active athletes in the history of the sport, trained day in day out in perennially great shape, you could argue that point if it was David Haye or even Lennox Lewis, but Wladimir was fitter at 40 than m...

Re: "Greatest FIghter You've Never Heard Of"?
This was of course used to describe Sam Langford, but I think he's now getting much more appreciation. So what fighters do you think are the new "Greatest FIghter You've Never Heard Of" Jem Mace came to my mind. Despite his lack of size he was arguably the first heavyweight champion of th...

Re: The Worth of Rocky Marciano
Marciano vs Sullivan - Sullivan not skilled enough Marciano vs Corbett - He catches Corbett late just as Jeffries did.

Re: Who, in boxing history, can demolish Anthony Joshua?
Jack Johnson had the strength, enough height, and maybe could have befuddled AJ if he could get under his skin, he was also a mean and spiteful puncher, game as they come, and had a massive point to prove in that era, of course times have changed and AJ is rightfully embraced by the boxing public, b...

Re: Who, in boxing history, can demolish Anthony Joshua?
AJ is a work in progress still, too early to definitively say who he'd beat and who he wouldn't. All the other fighters mentioned had a career that played out so you can point to fights where they struggled or lost to support your theories. His only, by historical standards, good opponent had him o...

Re: The Worst Heavyweight Title Holders Of All Time And Freaks

You know Vitali Klitschko was his best opponent... And you know he didn't really win that one -- it was a gift. I like the way Lewis was posing for this picture -- trying very hard to look like The Predator... He could be a dipwad... He probably took a hundred photos before he came up with this one...
