Boxing thread?

But it's not just now.. This will end the same as manny v May weather. When both fighters should have fought easc other far nearer their prime to be nice about it.

Pacquiao and Mayweather were clearly the best in the division and arguably the best two pound for pound boxers at the time.

Neither Khan or Brook is at that level, really not comparable.

While I would happily see Khan vs Brook, there are numerous other fights they can have just as interesting.

Crawford is a far more difficult fight than Kell Brook and is also for the WBO title.

Probably a better purse too.

Edit: Worse purse(!)

I wasn't comparing.. I was making the point that they where way past there best when they finally met.. And the pound for pound bit at the time is another argumentitive point for another time I think.

“The Kell Brook fight is always going to be there,” he said.

“He's not going to go anywhere. If I don’t fight Crawford, Crawford won’t be there again.

“That pound-for-pound title might not be there again. The world title might not be there again. There is so much in one fight.”

He's got a point IMO.

Skills sadly outweigh the chin. On his night he's capable of beating a fair number of top boxers.

Always steps up to the big fights too.

Big fights or big purses do you mean?

£4mil apparently for Crawford

My point was the boxing world wanted to see Mayweather vs Pac.

Just don’t think fans are actually that bothered about Khan vs Brook.

 

[Paolo10]

It's a profession, fights aren't always easy to make. Pretty harsh on Khan IMO.

From. A domestic point of view its a fight British fight fans want.
I'm quite ambivalent to the crawford fight because the outcome is entirely inevitable and its in the u. S.

From a British point of view I get that.

But putting Crawford to one side, of Khan or Brook retire me today would I care I never got to see them face each other? Not really.

Thought the whole idea of him. Signing to Eddie hearn on the 3fight deal was it ended with the Brook fight?.. It was pretty easy to make from The point he signed to. Match room.
Eddie feels like he's been taken for a fool by Khans camp I can tell. You that.

Fair point.. Its your opinion but British fight fans I'm sure may feel otherwise.. Two very good local fighters who never got it on?. Its very hard to think of two others who never mixed it at least once going back to our Henry's era I really can't think of a world class all British match that never got made.

Young boxer tom bell was shot and killed at a pub in doncaster. Crazy.

Anybody see the Andrade stoppage yesterday? Fucking embarrassing and honestly I think it’s the worst I’ve seen ever.

I can't figure out why the ref stopped it. I can't see a genuine reason other than corruption.

Hope BJS gets a fight with him.

I vaguely recall a fight being made between them? BJS would dust him up. Him, GGG, Canelo and Jacobs are so much better than Andrade imo

 

[Paolo10]

It was the fight scheduled before the whole Oxilofrine thing, the VADA testing he signed up for was for the Andrade fight.

Honestly think they're trying to keep him away from Canelo. BJS is all wrong for Canelo and gives him problems IMO. Saunders has been chasing GGG and Canelo for a while now.

Talk all of a sudden of Canelo GGG III after a bit of talk of BJS maybe getting a go at GGG.

 

[SugarRay]

Saunders would freeze against Canelo. He looks great against Lemieux, but he was absolutely tailor made for BJS.
Canelo would beat him up and stop him, Saunders doesn’t have the grit imo to hang in and see the final bell in such a fight.

I hope BJS never gets that fight anyway. He’s a complete scummy **** who doesn’t deserve the payday. I wouldn’t be fussed if I ever saw him in a ring again. He’s not talented enough to sort of excuse his personality, or at least turn a blind eye to it.
The scumbag is trying to claim mental health issues now to try and justify his behaviour, everyone can see right through that charade though.

Pacquiao v Broner live on ITV4 tonight, hope Manny knocks him out.
