Foreman in 1989 was still seen as something of a novelty act, and Bruno was trying to rebuild after losing to Mike Tyson. I think it'd of been a great fight. Both men blasting each other, with moments where both seem to be rocking and reeling. Somehow, though, I think I goes the distance. Foreman's...

Imho rematches should not happen unless someone (the favorite) lost, or a fight was so competitive it warranted a rematch. But I don't think there should be rematch clauses in contracts at all. I think if the favorite loses there should be a 30-90 day window where no other fights can be offered to t...

Idk I'd say they are basically even in terms of quality wins. They both certainly weren't the best guys around, after all Froch never fought Calzaghe and I don't think he'd of ever beaten him. Benn couldn't do anything with Collins, and Collins was arguably 2nd to Roy Jones at the time. So they both...

Foreman at the end of his career, losing by robbery to Shannon Briggs but winning a gift decision over Axel Shulz sometime before, versus the Mike Tyson who bit off Holyfield's ear and took a year off before returning against Orlin Norris in 1999. Interesting match. I'll have to deliberate this a bi...

Cyberboxingzone would have all of the exhibitions listed.

It is difficult to analyze Usyk since his career is not over. Sure he beat Joshua twice, but it is very difficult for me to imagine Joshua ever cracking the top 5 in the 1970s. I think guys like Mac Foster might've annihilated Joshua. So how good is the wins exactly? Until Usyk faces the consensus l...

Well, we don't have to guess who is into that since you brought it up eh Teddy? :confused: And "mandinka," is just racially cringworthy. No such tribe exists. There is the Watutsi and Dinka in the Sudan, but clearly you were being racist about it. From here on I dub you "Master Candy,...

The "30 second" sound byte generation are a poor lot indeed.

To be honest Henry, you are the type of casual boxing fan that Fury relies on. Mayweather fought loads of great fighters - Fury has fought maybe 1 .. huge difference. #2- In defense of Fury, though... how many "good" or "great" fighters are there even at heavyweight? Id venture ...

To be honest Henry, you are the type of casual boxing fan that Fury relies on. Mayweather fought loads of great fighters - Fury has fought maybe 1 .. huge difference. #1- The last ppv I bought of Fury was the 3rd Wilder fight. If I'm what he relies on he'd be a poor man because I sure didn't buy Wh...

There you go with your homo erotic fantasies again. Besides, your tongue is so far up Usyk's ass you could clean the gap between his teeth.

joshj909 wrote: ↑20 Jul 2023, 04:32 My guess is that they haven't got it sanctioned yet which is why there are mixed opinions. They are probably hopping between boxing boards to try and find one to sanction it.

It's the middle east. They would sanction a sword fight.

And unlike most people on this forum I am of the belief that Fury is merely having fun, while playing psychological games and being fiscally smart. He will face Usyk, eventually. People just need to get a grip on themselves. Mayweather waiting 5 years until Manny lost before fighting him is far and...

He's a human headline. He is definitely not a genius! Fury has twice managed to destroy his reputation and image; he is a pariah brand. Netflix are the only ones interested in using him, so that highlights his toxicity .. but they also do shows with RuPaul, Beverly Hills housewives and some fella c...

I figure since Fury got permission from the WBC to do this, it has to be a genuine contest, because an exhibition effects nothing.

Before you jump on the Boxrec Editors maybe you need to give the Promoters of the Event sh*t for not deciding what their event is. Is it a fight or an Exhibition? Are they promoting it as a fight or as an exhibition? I certainly don't think it's a case of someone trying to keep a win off of Fury's ...

If you could do it for Mayweather-MacGregor, and can list several other crossover matches such as Archie Moore vs Sterling Davis, Mike DiBiase and Roy Shire where the champion of another sport made their debut against a boxing champion or against some contender such as Tony Galento vs Freddie Blass...

Not a dichotomy at all, in fact. Quite the opposite, as I am representing those two alternatives as being similar, not different. And it's only a matter of degree. Both are absurdities. Unless you think the MMA heavyweight champion ought to be boxing the world heavyweight champion. From my vantage ...

Ngannou? He's a seriously high-level, top quality, very famous sportsman. Mind you, so is Novak Djokovic, and Fury would have no business fighting him either. False dichotomy. Novak is a tennis player. Ngannou is at least a champion in combat sports. Not a dichotomy at all, in fact. Quite the oppos...

Dan Raphael is a hack. No offense. He is no more the voice of boxing fans than Peter Dinklage is the voice of dwarfs everywhere.

https://youtu.be/yI-jeh2qtgk At Home With the Fury's trailer drops... Between this and Ngannou surely Fury is going to be the A side draw in any negotiations with Oleksandr Usyk having all the leverage cus the Ukrainian will be stuck defending titles against Dubois and Hrgovic that nobody will reall...

Ngannou vs Chisora
Whyte vs Dubois
Zhang vs Joshua
Joyce vs Ruiz
Fury vs Usyk

Machen by wide unanimous decision.
