    Different times, heavyweights now are colossal whereas Ali, Liston, Frazier, Tyson, Spinks were all give or take 6ft nowadays any of them fighting Lewis, Briggs, Fury, Joshua, either Klitcshko would be ridiculous. 
    Not sure I agree (I usually do with you) - just my opinion of course, but Mike Tyson at his best beats any heavyweight fighting today, as does Foreman at his best (he is 6'3"). Ali (also 6'3") at his best beats any heavyweight in history. Ali beat Ernie Terrell (6'6") in a unification fight - not just beat but destroyed and humiliated him in the famous 'what's my name' fight.

    The current holder of most of the belts - is 6'3".   
    Interesting you say that about Ali bob I think the same, for me he was the best there has ever been but my kids wont have it. I personally think the only one that might have done him was Tyson at his peak purely because he was such a freak of nature in terms of strength and ferocity. 
  • Joe Cordina wins the world title in the most devastating of fashion.

    Setting my alarm for Kambosas v Haney
  • That was an unbelievable finish. Well played the new Welsh Wizard.
  • Just got back from the fight. I’m not a boxing fan but my lad loves it. We had great seats at £47 tremendous value. Stunning punch too. 
  • Very sad news. The South African boxer who many will probably have seen dazed and throwing punches at thin air in his fight at the weekend, has died in hospital from a brain injury. Only 24 years old. RIP.

    That’s a shocker.

    RIP young man.

    Don King promoting it, Mickey Mouse belt on the line, unknown fighters - doubt anyone in the states knows who's Dubois is.

    But the whole production was a farce. Would be amazed if the fighters get paid their full cheque

    Very generous to say 500.
  • I thought it was the Elephant and Castle leisure centre. 
  • Don King logo on the Ukrainian flag is just so Don King

  • Apparently Fury is not quite as retired as he first said:

  • Adam Azim with another early stoppage, his timing and hand speed are so, so good!
  • Jesse Rodriquez made a huge statement on Saturday with a classy stoppage win against Rungvisai. Looks to be the total package as a fighter.
  • Did anyone watch Joe Joyce last night? Half empty Wembley arena for the juggernaut.

    I just don't rate him

    I rate him, he beats everyone up but his style his horrible to watch, awful. And I can imagine especially after what he did to Dubois not many prospects want to go near him and there won't be a queue of older pros wanting to get worked over by him

    He's a good boxer, but not elite level imo. Usyk would box his head off

    Truth be told he isn't fit to lace someone like Usyk's gloves, he is however an Olympian, he is clearly a nightmare to fight, Christian Hammer in my humble opinion didnt fight badly last night and he has had an OK career but he had no idea how to deal with Joyce doing what he does, walking people down relentlessly and throwing horrible to watch but clearly effective thudding punches. So on Merit if he keeps on beating people he deserves a shot if it comes his way. 

    It exhausts me just watching people trying to keep up with him, allegedly Frank Warren is trying to persuade Dillian Whyte to take a fight with Joyce and that would be interesting 
  • Whyte v Joyce would be a good fight and a good marker to see what level he's at. 
  • Nasty cut for Pulev. I thought Delboy looked gassed after the 3rd but he's still looking busy in round 8
  • This fight is everything I thought it would be...a proper slugfest! And I am loving it!
  • Chisora can barely lift his arms above waist height.
  • Must be Pulev's fight.
  • Pleased for him but scoring all over the place.
  • Christ Pulev can take a shot!
