I've not posted in a while but here goes! Why is his career ruined? He's just challenged for a world title fight and lost, earning a reported £1.5m for it. He's a multi millionaire, earning alot of money for fights he shouldn't. Yes all boxers want to reach the pinnacle and win a world title, but t...

No matter what happens, people will say he looks drained on the scales and read into it. We wont know until fight night. The biggest thing he will lose by dropping down is punch resistance. I think a lot will depend on if Spence can take a punch and we'll know the answer to that inside 2 rounds. No ...

I see Smith stopping him, who is a lot faster and technical than the tough but very crude Bika.

Wait until you see Tesco Joe's masterplan though....

Throw no punches for 6 rounds then go all out?

Think I'd have preferred a career Feather or somebody ranked.

I think more chance of him fighting Selby than Frampton

What do you all make of this? Seems to be a super bantam stepping up just like Quigg

Anthony Joshua

We tried to get them, sold out straight away. Same tickets then on Stub hub from 12 for a higher price. Surely this is illegal? Does Hearn give Stub Hub an allocation like they do with fighters?

is this happening, being talked about or a pipe dream?

How do you rank the guys at the moment. For me James DeGale and Callum Smith are the clear top 2 - I don't think I have to justify James DeGale but, the reason I have put Callum Smith in the top two is because he is young, great speed and power, can really capitalise on an opportunity and he beats ...

There wasn't anyone good enough to challenge him if I remember rightly and I think he was given a honorary Lonsdale belt

Even better. Decent that to be fair

nice, good knowledge. Wonder why he never defended it?

I've just seen Andrew Selby is fighting for the British title in only his 5th fight which got me thinking.

Has anybody won it in less than 5 fights?

Good work. Any ideas when the next fight will be decided?

I'm in by the way. I will watch the Calzaghe Reid fight soon and post my scores in the thread

It's just a shame that there were only about 4k there for it. Is that all ? wrong location and wrong date i would think Bit more than that, was set up for about 7k and it wasn't far off full so I'd say around 6k in, which still isn't great but after two postponements, a week before Christmas and ne...

Haye threw 40 punches less than Fury and only landed 12 less. The key to this fight was Fury not getting in distance fro Klitchko to throw which Haye couldn't do due to his size. The punch stats don't exactly show Fury had more ambition, his size and movement won him the fight and will win it him ag...

Kell or Selby for me, I voted Kell though
I think Quigg beats Frampton personally so cant have Frampton as high

Can i just say, this is the best thread i have ever read on boxrec. Awesome

So Haye or Andy Lee ??

I reckon Haye as he said he was on the verge of an announcement last week

Ed Robinson has just tweeted a picture of a name card on the table....... Adam Booth. Has to be Haye

Probably to some degree. You have to remember, Froch wanted to fight in vegas as a career long dream, Groves is now doing that. Thats the only thing i think might make Froch bitter or jealous

Surely the more international bills on other channels puts allegedly at massive risk? With the decrease in quality of UK shows, allegedly is relying more and more on the international shows. Sky are picking up a few more than before and BT are now involved. Agreed mate. It's the point I was making ...
