All The Best ... Here's to 2020!!

[Spud]

Just wanted to wish everyone all the best for 2020 both personally & boxing wise.

As many of you know I have had parkinsons now for over 6 years. It's a **** to live with but if you choose to accept it and in some weird way embrace it, things become a little easier to live with. Early on in the year I had a great chat with Freddie Roach, he gave me some tips which I took on board.

Anyhow boxing wise, I think 2019 was an ok year.

My wishes for 2020 are:

To see Uleksandr Usyk progress, personally I think he is an exceptional talent and will be Heavyweight Champion Of The World ... As for people thinking Dereck Chisora giving him a tough fight ... for me no chance, Usyk beats Chisora when he wants.

I would also love to see Filip Hrgovic progress. I know Filip quite well having spent a lot of time with him when he spent a few weeks in London sparring David Haye. Tough as, and he took everything Haye dished out. He was only a young lad then too. I dont think he is on Uysk's level but nonetheless still very good.

I also want to see Calum Smith fight Canelo. I am convinced Smith gives the cheating mexican nightmares.

Of course seeing Loma & Inoue progress would be good too.

Anyhow waffle over ...

Regards

Nice one Spud, always good to hear your thoughts with all your experience you have in the game.

Will Usyk hold enough power against the likes of Wilder/Joshua or will he just box their ears off for 12 rounds like Maywethaer does and get away with not having the power?

I remember seeing you entering with the fighters in the WBSS, that is cool to be that close.

Now this all put a smile on my face...

All the best my man, keep swinging away and keep going!

PS: You're missed around here, I think all the old guard would agree!
