Re: Good but not well-known prospects

In the UK, Daniel Dubois is a really hotly tipped prospect.
Heavyweight - 4-0 (4), only 19, 6'5, knockout artist.
He got some notoriety after sparring with Anthony Joshua.
Was likely to be in the GB Olympic team for Tokyo but allegedly talked him into turning pro.

Re: Anthony Joshua: 'Massive' disappointment Wladimir Klitschko retired

Ortiz has limited time. Aj needs to fight him now. Enough waiting. You seem to be basing your opinion on this on the fact that Ortiz is old...why would that factor into Joshua's thinking? He doesn't owe Ortiz a shot. If Ortiz earns it with performances (which I think is highly debatable at this sta...

Re: Anthony Joshua: 'Massive' disappointment Wladimir Klitschko retired

This sounds a bit dumb and condescending from Joshua, the way I've interpreted it. Almost as if he is trying to coax WK out of his decision. He's 41, has spent multiple years at the top doing the hard yards, he won't be convinced. AJ beat him fair and square, the stoppage was a good one imo but it ...

Re: The best fight card you attended to?

Haye Chisora at Upton Park was a lot of fun. I seem to recall the Froch vs Kessler rematch was very exciting with a good bunch in the crowd. Froch Groves 2 was of course very memorable because of the sheer size of the event (since upstaged by Joshua-Klitschko which I was unable to get tickets for :...

Re: Jack The Ripper Vs Nate Clev

Clev's biggest weakness is power; and Jack is hard so the only Clev victory I can see is on points. He has great work rate so it is conceivable that he will outwork Jack. He also has a decent chin; but as others have suggested, he is not always the best at getting out of the way of what Jack might b...

Re: Now Floyd sounds like he knows he's going to lose

How many great fighters did Fraudweather duck and cheat out of their shot at glory? Floyd got his shots at glory from Gatti and Oscar who both could have ducked the bitch. Then Fraudweather gets on top and ducked... prime Margarito, prime Cotto, Paul Williams, Sergio Martinez, Golovkin. These fight...

Re: Now Floyd sounds like he knows he's going to lose

Total protected fraud since 147. Every fight rigged in one way or another. Every fight was a handpick except Pacquiao which was forced on Floyd by Moonves. But Haymon rigged the judges and had NV cover up the illegal IV the day of the fight and rigged NV to reject Pac from using legal painkiller fo...

The really amazing thing is people genuinely seem to be taken in by this. I would not be surprised if Mayweather, McGregor, White et al are in a room together right now deciding what the next 'press leak' will be in order to a) raise interest and b) make people believe McGregor has a chance. It is a...

We have to be clear here, without rewatching the fight, Del Boy won no more than about 3 rounds, 4 rounds max. He was clearly beaten by the more skilled outside fighter, pulev. Fury had already laid that blue print, if your jab is good and rangey Del Boy will have problems closing the gap We have t...

Technique means, the things you do inside to net get hit but in return you are able to punch your opponent. Anything speed, footwork, reflexes etc. that gives u an advantage to not get hit.

I don't know, but the fact is Joshua has the choice between Pulev and Ortiz and want to fight Pulev and never speak about Ortiz.
