Ther is no one in world heavyweight boxing at this moment in time that can live with joshua,he is the most complete heavyweight out ther atm :lol: Ha'way man, give your head a shake. He hasn't even fought anyone who has come to win. Klitchsko would school him, Povetkin would dominate him. Both of w...

Re: What one weakness as a boxer would you be willing to hav

I went for chinny. I figured having everything else, including power would make me more exciting to watch, which would convert to more £££. Plus more people would be willing to sign for fights with you, knowing that they'd always have a chance to knock you out. Amir hasn't done too bad in spite of ...

Re: Clinton woods vs nathan cleverly

Cleverly is only a baby and hasn't reached his peak, i would say Woods on points but if Cleverly goes onto beat fighters like Campillo, Shumenov, Cloud and Dawson in good fashion then i would favor him. Yep, im with you on that one, Clev is still learning his trade yet, it'll be a few more years be...

Re: Eubanks says Jones Jr wouldn't fight him?

Calzaghe could do waht he did because his opponents allowed him to do so. You could see in the Hopkins fight how Bernard mastered Calzaghe for the first six rounds before he began to tire and Calzaghe came back at him for the second half of the fight, losing by one round IMO. That was too an old Be...

Re: Eubanks says Jones Jr wouldn't fight him?

I don't expect anyone to agree with me but I've always though a prime Calzaghe would have beaten a prime Jones Jnr. Calzaghe was just as fast, had terrific power before his hands went and had a workrate that would have drowned Jones. Joe would also have matched Jones for swagger and big fight menta...

Re: Haye sparring partners.

Ali worked on his weaknesses in sparring. Remember Norman Mailer saying in When We Were Kings how Larry Holmes would dominate their sparring sessions and Ali would work on his weaknesses. What I will say is that any heavy worth their salt who gets a call from a heavyweight champion goes in and does...

Re: The Top 20 All Time Heavyweights

MARCIANO was undefeated, so what did all those rated above Marciano in the poll have that would be any different? As he was never defeated, any selection to pick others over Marciano is pure speculation based on weight and height. Skill, power and heart don't appear to count in some of the "Mo...

Re: Mercer or McCall?

On there best days, these would be a great match, i'd go for Mercer UD, don't see any KO's happening, if had to pick anyone to touch the canva's at some stage i'd probably say Mercer again tbh, Ray's chin was made iron, but i think granite actually originated from McCall's chin!
