Re: Who would be the last man you would get in a ring with?

Gerald McClellan or Julian Jackson for me. Both guys still had speed, coupled with insanely freakish power for their respective weights. Any shot to the head or body from those too and it would most certainly be an early night to bed for me!

Jack Dempsey vs previous heavyweight champions

How would Dempsey's heavyweight career have shaped if he'd been battling prime versions of Johnson, Jeffries, Corbett, Sullivan, Fitzsimmons etc up to a good 30 years before he was actually champion?

Re: Joshua vs Wilder at risk of being reincarnation of Lewis vs Bowe?

Joshua vs Wilder at risk of being reincarnation of Lewis vs Bowe? No. The risk is of this happening is either zero or negligible. The demand for this bout is going to be allowed to increasingly build as time passes by (or "marinate", as Bob Arum might say. The main stumbling block relates...

Joshua vs Wilder at risk of being reincarnation of Lewis vs Bowe?

Will these two manage to get a fight sorted for 2019, or will all the drama and bs surrounding pre-fight negotiations lead this to be a repeat of what unfortunately happened between Bowe and Lewis?

Re: Top 5 p4p boxers ever

What are your top 5 p4p boxers ever, both current and old school fighters allowed. Based on ability or achievement? I suppose it's subjective as to what you believe encompasses the term p4p. For some it's how many weight divisions a boxer can conquer, for others it's the opposition a fighter may ha...

Adam Kownacki vs Charles Martin

Does Martin have a chance of winning this? After getting ironed out by Joshua, he has been largely off the rails, fairly inactive, and definitely hasn't tested himself since that fight, having easy wins against the likes of Byron Polley and Michael Marrone. Which won't have prepared him for the test...

Re: Does Mikey Garcia actually stand a chance against Spence at 147?

You thought his win over Easter Jr. was impressive? I wouldn't have said it was unimpressive no. Easter is no slouch and did have a huge height and reach advantage over Mikey which he overcame and dealt with well. I'm not saying it was the best victory ever but I think it would be wrong of me to sa...

Does Mikey Garcia actually stand a chance against Spence at 147?

After Garcia's impressive win over Robert Easter Jr, there has yet again been increasing talks of him jumping up to 147 to challenge Errol Spence. Personally, I believe Garcia is a fantastic fighter and within his own natural weight class can beat anybody. And I truly believe he could give Lomachenk...

Just how powerful is Deontay Wilder's right hand?

We know Deontay can bang, his impressive record of knockouts can only speak for itself. But where does he rank in terms of power amongst the hardest hitters to grace the heavyweight division, looking at the likes of Dempsey, Louis, Marciano, Liston, Cleveland Williams, George Foreman, Earnie Shavers...
