It's gotten old debating this. It's been 8 years.

I'm not bored of Usyk. Though he's near the end of his illustrations career.jwfg wrote: ↑17 Oct 2023, 15:06Who do you think would emerge as the #1, assuming Usyk retired as well?jamesmcdonnell wrote: ↑17 Oct 2023, 14:42 I'm do bored of the division.
I wish Fury, Joshua and wilder would all retire and all the old farts kicking around the top 20 rankings with them.

I agree.

It ain't just the two boxers. There are a lot of stars that need to align for that fight to get made. Now there isn't someone with an open (Saudi) cheque book open saying 'How much is it going to take?', the fight is a kit harder to make,jamesmcdonnell wrote: ↑17 Oct 2023, 15:51I'm not sure either want it bad enough.big lennox wrote: ↑17 Oct 2023, 15:26It would be a sensational fight if they do.

I'd be surprised, Joshua's made an absolute shit tonne of money. Can't see him ending up as a fatekeeper

Yes, but as Chisora is older, he will always be stronger. Like Odin.golden_labrador wrote: ↑17 Oct 2023, 16:27he'll be on borrowed time though once Hughie gets his man strengthjamesmcdonnell wrote: ↑17 Oct 2023, 15:52

2 fights in 11 months? for the last 12 m0nths you have been repeating 2 fights in 9 months ... I am beginning to suspect you are making these things up

2 fights in the past 11 months.
Both correct.

Sshhhh Doofy, it's OK, we understand. Tyson's your son and you'll back him up no matter what, even if he does pull out of negotiations twice vs Joshua or set greedy demands and obstacles in place to prevent the Usyk fight. You're remaining loyal, which is admirable.
Just a bugger you can't go and join him in training camp because he preferred having Sugar Hill there, which is loyal of him to do as well though.

Re: Anthony Joshua vs. Deontay Wilder - January 2024? - Game changing event.
Anthony Joshua vs Manuel Charr is the rumour.

Another fighter Fury avoided to instead take on Chisora for the 3rd time.

Usyk selected Wilder to beat Joshua :
“It would’ve been a phenomenal match. Wilder’s unique if he clips, one is unable to fight back. I’m going with Wilder on 60% for the contest. He’s a puncher and Joshua could be set on. Deontay’s able to send someone flying when he touches them.” - Oleksandr Usyk
