I think Fury is a total tool, however the Wilder fight sort of proved he’s the best of the bunch. 
 

Usyk is the fighter everyone wants to see. However I think he deals with him with ease. I once thought it would be closer, however I think Uysk struggles with Fury’s size. 
 

However, I don’t think he’s comparable to Lewis or Holyfield. I’m not sure how good Ali was to be honest. Fury is the best in an era that doesn’t have many great challengers. I’d have him over the likes of Tyson, Frasier etc though. 

Tool?

Why ?

Fury is by far the best of his era.

He would have given Holyfield  a good go as he was a very very good cruiserweight pumped up.

Tyson v Tyson would have been phenomenal fight with original tyson at his peak.

Ali will always be the greatest for how he changed sport in general.

You can never mark Ali just for his boxing as he would probably  lose to a few fighters BUT it's what he achieved  in changing everything  for black people(This is another thread in itself)

Strange one that.

 

Dubois was behind on points, but wasn't totally outclassed.

 

He arguably won it. That punch was legal. But Usyk may well have got up if it was judged that way.

 

Ultimately, Dubois will learn from this and looking at the rest of the division, he's got 10 years to reach his peak.

 

Fury beats Usyk though, he leans on him, drains him, works the body, uses his reach...

 

Give us the fight we all want to see.

The only way usyk wins imo is to make it a boring fight and he wins technically on points but does no damage to fury. Definitely want to see them fight each other.

 

Re last night. I'm convinced usyk was badly hurt by the punch and dibois could/should have had him, but still a decent chance usyk slows it all down after tile he gets his breath back.

 

Unfortunately it feels like whe.n a non league teams lets in an equaliser in injury time. They get pasted in the replay. Shame but at least we hopefully get to see fury usyk.

Think the UK bias is in full swing after last night tbh. Think it's almost certainly low by the letter of the law and reckon he grazes the cup on the way up. That's a "graze" from a 232lb heavy hitter by the way. 

 

It's not like Usyk didn't take a bunch of other bodyshots and be fine with them. 

 

Also think suggesting Usyk would have to make a fight "boring" to beat Fury is funny. Boring would be Fury using his weight to clinch and lean all over Usyk which is almost certainly the approach he'd need to take. Usyk wins by being extremely lively, out moving him and being a live wire.

Good documentary about Ricky Hatton on Sky documentaries. Quite interesting if you were a fan. 

 

More of a human story and less of a boxing documentary.

 

Didn't think his dad came out of it too well. But Billy Graham did.

Eubank v Smith should be a cracker.

Hopefully same result.

 

Big Frazers fight should be decent too- lets see what hes made of.

Really looking forward to the Smith Eubank fight.  Don’t particularly like Smith… he’s not a very good  person, but the sheer  unjustified arrogance and smugness of Eubank astonishes me… would love to see him sent into retirement..

 

 

I know it’s on Sky sports box office but it’s also on ESPN+ Here in the states so there should be some good streams available..

I’m well up for this. I want Smith to win and if he does, Eubank is finished. And he’s most likely to win.

 

 

 

but there’s a tiny part of me that suspects that Eubank  will knock him out  with some lucky punch after getting pummeled for a few rounds

Round 3 faster quicker work again from eubank, landing well with a tidy tight performance but his cardio out put is high I feel smith will have reserves later if it gets to later !!!  10-9 Eubank 

 

3 rounds up
