Based on Dana's comments. How much do we think this is just Dana trying to get one over on Eddie? Realistically, this sounds like a bad financial investment from Zuffa to pay Benn 10m. Even if Benn goes against Pac or Garcia, they could make equally as good money with someone else but paying them f...

Serious question here forget the loyalty and all that i.ve read he.s gonna get 10...15 mill were sumizing its going to be a Zumma fight in the Uk . So question is WHO can Benn fighgt to generate them figures and even more so WHO can he fight that he can beat all the real big dogs will rip him apart...

To be fair to Witter, he took the Judah fight on about 8 days notice if I remember correctly. To be fair to Hatton, taking other fights for business/financial reasons isn’t the same as a duck, or being scared. Hatton would have fought Witter if enough money was on the table. I say that as a big fan...

Phenomenal-Nutrition, No....Witter was abysmal against Judah. It's true, Zab was genuinely befuddled by Witter's negativity. Apart from an "off" scorecard of 116-112 for Judah, the other 2 cards of 118-110 indicate Zab's dominance. Witter made no attempt to win his first world title shot ...

Personally I don’t think Hatton was avoiding him because he thought he’d lose, I just think their eyes were on bigger fish. I quite liked Witter not getting the Hatton fight, Witter was always trying to goad him into a fight and Hatton just cracked on and did his thing. I don’t think he dodged him....

RIP - I genuinely believe Ricky's suicide is due to drug related lows. I used to have a female friend who would regularly wake me up at 5am talking about suicide and not making much sense otherwise. Each time she had heavily consumed cocaine the night before and she was facing a massive low after th...

Looks like he's gained 3 stones since his last fight. Bet the house on Usyk

You bring up Charles Martin like it's his biggest win but conveniently ignore Klitschko, Parker, Povetkin, Pulev and Whyte. He unified three belts and beat former, current and future belt holders. You can't deny he has depth in his wins for this era. He also didn't duck Usyk and didn't duck the rem...

All depends on Usyk-Fury II now. It'll set up Joshua-Fury perfectly if Usyk wins more comprehensively. I think it's blatantly clear now (as hindsight always does clarify things) just how overhyped the two former Kings and ATGs actually were. Fury embarrassed by Wallin, Ngannou, and to some extent W...

That's quite surprising, who have you got above Lewis? I certainly can't think of more than 3-4 heavyweight champs I could rate higher. Ali, Louis, Holmes Foreman, (mainly because of what foreman managed to achieve 2nd time around on top of his first run) after that, most champions were short lived...

N - all valid points - heavyweights are heavyweights so we can contextualise them in that context. I just wonder (and I've no answer to the question I'm about to ask) how the greats of all time would have been now. There were much fewer divisions so the differences between weights were more pronoun...

Lewis that fought Bruno wasn't at his peak yet, still quite a few years off, I'd say Lewis' prime was around 28-32. Bruno did outjab him, but then Lewis did what he needed to do, and took him apart. I think Usyk is incredibly professional, and takes every fight seriously, I think Lewis thought McCa...

I think Lewis gets overrated. Bruno outjabbed him. Holyfield went on to have a trilogy with John Ruiz after their fights. There are people who think Holyfield won the second fight. I haven't watched it in years. It's arguable that Usyk beats everyone on his record. I certainly don't see him losing ...

Fury said in the build up that win lose or draw he'd be fighting Usyk in a rematch in Saudi. It was pretty much agreed in advance. It's a repeat of the first fight. Usyk's workrate and stamina is way too much for Fury

No I don't think he can. Usyk because he's trained continously like a machine has the much better stamina and he will outwork Fury in the last 4 rounds. I had Fury up after 8 rounds but Usyk just took over and upped the tempo. People who are saying 'Tyson should have followed through on his success'...

Which boxers did Benn say he wouldn't fight. He didn't come across as the type of boxer who would dodge some one. He was well matched. Kept away from Toney, Nunn, McCallum, Herol Graham, Kalambay, Reggie Johnson. He also lost the first one against Malinga and got a gift decision Jones v Benn probab...

His old man should just tell him not to worry about PED shame. Yep don't think his old man was much different in that department either , two of a kind anyway , both got a chip on there shoulder and inflated opinion of themselves , The old man may be a british superstar , but i distinctly remember ...

Opetaia was in Furys camp but has walked out apparently. https://twitter.com/MichaelBensonn/status/1749340760179179980?t=JGradeSjUutmmJLgh1JIAw&s=19 Reckon he roughed Fury up and he didn't like it? Or perhaps the other way. I think what they’ve reported re: sparring may well be right but I’m st...

Parker's resume win or lose is becoming immense. Intriguing fight this one, a true 50-50. I think Parker should outwork him though

Who gives a shit anyway, Lewis would have beaten the piss out of Ruiz easily. He’s literally one of the least likely candidates to cause an upset. It would have been a totally meaningless fight. At least Botha had a bit of personality. Seriously if I'm trying to be a Lennox hater I'm not bringing u...

Umm, the Ring's rankings are not the WBC's rankings. Those are two different things. Everything I wrote is taken from page 4 of Boxing Monthly's June 2000 issue, editor Glyn Leach's article on Lennox Lewis. Sorry that facts contradict your emotional outbursts. You're either proven to have lied or m...

Okay, your tone of voice tells me all I need to know about your quality of mind, so I'll now leave you to your emojis and LMAOs, and write the following for those interested in facts, reason and logic.

Lewis of course ditched the WBA belt wanting a gimme vs Michael Grant rather than defend against his old sparring partner John Ruiz who he knew was handy; he ditched his IBF belt rather than fight slippery Byrd preferring to a Tyson rematch where he could further desecrate Iron Mike's corpse.
