The Boxing News this week asked readers to nominate the biggest upset in the history of boxing. I didn't have to think long. Every poll I've seen asking who was the greatest boxer of all time , nominated Sugar Ray Robinson. At his peak he came to London to fight Randolph Turpin for the middleweight...

So a european champion, who's next natural step up is to fight for a world title, is wrong to be putting his name in the frame for a world title shot. Stupid thread this. Stupid thread !!! Don't read it then surly George groves deserves a world title shot rather than degale ??? Surely a european ch...

I dont live in the UK anymore, so my radar could be off a little. I keep reading on here that boxing has to be on free TV to survive and or thrive. I dont get it at all. 1) allegedly, Mick Hennessey and Hayemaker have all been on free TV in the UK and failed to deliver anything of note. 2) Football...

I dont care who wins, because i can honestly say this fight has to be the best heavyweight in a long long time. Absolutely awesome.

Do people really have to debate on the real reasons he has vacated the titles. He is a complete shithouse. And the argument about getting price on terrestrial tv is a load of rubbish, lets face it, 99% of the population have sky anyway, its not as if it would of been PPV. Fury hasnt even got the lon...

I watched the original clip on this post an thought the guy deserved a severe beating, but then when ive watched other videos posted on this discussion its so plain clear to see this dude is in a severe stage of mental illness. My dads side of my family have a history of mental illness, and it is pr...

so i dont see your point. I proved righthook wrong with facts coming straight from the hbo website, so im not to sure were yourself and righthook are coming from. As a matter of fact its yours and righthooks poor form in posting incorrect facts, and also agreeing with them, and trying to use them t...

jay willow Well it is a matter of concrete fact that mayweather gets the more ppv, so i dont see your point. I proved righthook wrong with facts coming straight from the hbo website, so im not to sure were yourself and righthook are coming from. As a matter of fact its yours and righthooks poor for...

Allow me to correct you?! Dear lord, your ego is quite a sight to behold. You made a very clear and explicit statement based on "concrete fact" that was subsequently proven to be anything but. To paraphrase you, I think any reasonable minded person can clearly see that and also see your s...

Oh, the irony. The point is your response was poor precisely because you were dishonest. Rather than saying you were wrong regarding PPV buys after it was made clear to you in black and white, you instead tried to change tack. If you can't see that constitutes poor form, something is clearly wrong....

Dont really see how my response was poor to be honest. Yes I did say 'ppv buys' but I think my overall point was pretty clear: Mayweather generates more money than Pacqiauo. That is a matter of fact. Although your correct to say Mayweather will get a career high payday your wrong to rubbish the cla...

Not really. Mayweather fights are charged at a significantly higher rate. This has two effects: 1. Less people buy it because its more expensive (giving Pacqiauo a misleading edge in PPV numbers) 2. The overall revenue generated is higher. Mayweather V Ortiz was 3rd or 4th highest grossing non-hw f...

It's a matter of concrete fact that mayweather generates more ppv buys than pacqiauo. Do you think that when Alan sugar is doing a deal he says "well we will both earn a lot of money so we'll just split everything 50/50?". Not if he brings more money to the table! mayweather may have gene...

Your right mate, i first subscribed coz i really wanted to watch the Cotto margarito fight, which was certainly worth the money, coz Cotto put on a complete masterclass, but since then its been a joke. Tonight is first show of the year, an do i really wanna be forking out my cash to watch sexton vs ...

I used to like Khan although after Barrera and his MASSIVE ego I hope he gets battered soon, also his tantrum with Sky really annoyed me. Wladimir K after his Sky interviews I have really warmed to him simply because he seems a decent fellow. I agree with both there. Seriously hope khan get filled ...

First time I've ever started a thread but I strongly feel the need to comment on some of the ludicrous pish that is currently being spouted about Amir Khan. 1.'khans boxing skills will see him alright' Khan doesn't possess even a modicum of a boxing brain. People are confusing the ability to throw ...

Tottally agree with you there. Khan automatically thinks he deserves a rematch through sheer arrogance. Completely pot calling the kettle. An im losing respect for GBP now in all, because they were almost as bad in defeat as khan was. Our last two great champs were Hatton and Calzaghe, both humble ...

personally i dont like khan and would love to see peterson take the fight to the highest bidder , khan screaming for a rematch lol maidana and prescott ring a bell amir :yay: :yay: :yay: Tottally agree with you there. Khan automatically thinks he deserves a rematch through sheer arrogance. Complete...

Just wondering if the Vitali haye fight were to happen who people would be supporting. I personally want Vitali to smash him. I no haye is British, bug as far as I'm concerned I only support country in team sports, when its an individual sport I will always support the guy I like more whether it beb...

Manny pacquiao..........The king of catchweights. Pacman vs margarito for the light middle title, yet margarito isn't allowed to weigh at the light middle limit. Pacman beats hatton, who floyd had already ko'd, pacman beats de la hoya (yet another catchweight), floyd had already beaten him, pacman b...

Stop being so naive this is exactly what boxing needs a bit of promotion a bit of showmanship okay it was a bit American wrestling but there isn't necessarily anything wrong with that the fight needs to be hyped people need continuity they need name recognition. If they enjoyed Degale Groves as a n...

I couldn't beleive what i was seeing last night when murray and mitchell were in the ring WWE style, microphones in hand, trading insults and blatantly trying to act like WWE wrestlers. It was obviously an FW publicity stunt, but why. Surely for the life of me that FW wont try an make this fight loo...
