The general boxing thread

[DiamondGooner]

Mayweather is a circus act because he fought an amateur boxer in an exhibition match and made $300 million.

You call that being a clown, I call that the greatest legal heist in history.

You've just stated the point I'm making.

No ones dissing Mayweather the boxer i.e as in his talent or career while he was in his prime.

........... but that don't mean I'm up for being the one being jacked in these "legal heists" your on about.

Mayweather currently fighting bums and non boxers is a circus no matter how you swing it and even though I wouldn't diss him for the Conor fight this latest back track is a clown move.

You can be rich and be a clown you know.

Hell even Conors becoming a clown.

Well the only non boxer he has fought thus far is Conor.

I would prefer him to stay retired or fight actual boxers but until he actually takes a circus fight I won't brand him a clown.

Though I do agree backing out of this kickboxing match is a bad look.

In an ideal world he stays retired, but he loves the limelight and the money so it's doubtful.

He should just fight manny again, still do decent numbers and still think he wins all day long if he gets in shape.

I mean would kahbib in a ring have much interest, the McGregor thing was a one off really, he at least could strike and chat shit, khabib isn't known as a striker and doesn't shit talk.

Maybe it would do numbers because khabib I am guessing is big in Russia and Muslim countries and Floyd has his loyal hardcore fans but does that really excite anyone.

Hope Bellew smashes Usyk

Tough one.

It would be the fairy tale ending but I really like Usyk, he's a class act and model professional, old school guy with an Iron will, trains like crazy and these Ukrainian fighters are so refreshing in their humble attitudes compared today's embarrassing Western court jester fighters.

So I find it very hard to root against Usyk.

I'm more a fan of Usyk than Bellew but Bellew is the Brit, he's also on the cusp of achieving something extraordinary, something that would for a blip moment see him eclipse even Anthony Joshua as British fighter elite, unified Cruiser weight champion of the world, its a privilege fight for real boxing fans to have a Brit involved in this.

May the best man win.

I cannot fkin wait, somehow Bellew has put himself in a position to even eclipse Fury vs Wilder as the most prestigious fight of the year, absolute fairy tale if he pulls this off.

[Marsbar100]

Not as exciting as Mayweather Vs a Japanese midget though, what a disaster that fell through

[Jedi]

Why do they always have to waterboard me with these long intros. Just start the f***ing fight.

[Marsbar100]

Usyk starting to take over, bellew need to try drag it into a war

[Sims]

Usyk too good

[Marsbar100]

Yup, think he will be to small for the big boys though

Slow starter as well, dangerous at heavyweight

[Va-Va-Voom]

Usyk has a strong claim to being the no.1 pound for pound fighter.

[DiamondGooner]

Great night.

Fight was really good, I was a bit concerned for Usyk first 3 rds but I said to my mates who wanted Bellew to win, don't get too carried away because Usyk is hard as fk and he's not going anywhere, only start getting excited if this carries on till the 7th / 8th round.

Usyk as I thought started to get hold of the fight then just took over, that tennis ball on the head training paid off with that combo, pinged him good and accurate.

Boxing is so lit right now.

Next Wilder vs Fury.

What a year.

[Va-Va-Voom]

Spence vs Garcia March 16th.

Wow, Mikey daring to be great.

[Marsbar100]

Spence is a weight bully
