Joyce couldn’t do it. And I doubt he will now. Who knows.

hell of a shock if he does now. His face looks so badly damaged, as if it has been rearranged as well as scarred.

And Ring and Lineal. He said he wants the central area a few years ago.

I remember watching that on Setanta. He was a live under-dog going into that one. Looking back Chavaev was a bit under-rated.

White Tyson was pretty good. He's like a Pulev.

Some of these European are built different.

Why do you say that, out of interest?

To me, was an average guy in a very weak era. I think his two best wins were very close decisions over Valuev and Ruiz.

Seems to have been the norm pre mid-90s.

FW's relationship with the WBO might have been the start of the change (allegedly)

It was a very weak era. I just thought he was one of the better ones of the time and Its the first time I've seen him mentioned anywhere in a few years. He was very awkward and not the most entertaining which doesn't help.

My days, looks like Chisora is getting a third and final attempt to get on this list.
