    That's true mate but not really the point I'm making... I think he could ko AJ though he did rock chisora a couple of times and ajs Jaws suspect...

    I still think fury and Dubois are the top 2 but I think uysk will cause them all a new kind of problem

    Dubois has done **** all yet though. We’ll find out a bit more about him next weekend, but he’s nowhere near elite level yet, he might go on to be, but he’s not there yet.

    Doubt anyone will go near him tbh they'll avoid him and try and make it hard for him.. He's sparked Aj before I know that much.. It'll be a good test this one though.

    Whyte trying to get Hearn to drag Fury into the ring at short notice. No-lose sitch for the fat dump Whyte and nowt to gain for Fury, but hope he takes it anyway just to squash Whyte and end him. Sick of his gibbering ****e.

    So much talk and so little fighting.

    Two gravy trains running at high speeds and one has to get stopped in it’s tracks if the two belt holders collide.

    Fury vs AJ needs to be done, once it’s out the way it’ll be confined to history as the most over hyped and one sided fight ever.

    I must admit the guys in the division are not even that good.

    I like Fury personally and he does move well and has a good brain but he's hardly the best ever. He's alright. Not great to watch.

    AJ. Dull as a dishwasher. Has good power. Average boxing skills. Looks the part but is nothing too special imo.

    Wilder. Does produce entertaining ko's but cant box much. One trick pony.

    Whyte. I want him to do well but he's just very average.

    Derek. Quite likeable but like Whyte he's bang average.

    Povetkin. Alright. Good experience by again nothing special.

    Usyk. Is a good boxer but not sure in this division.

    Rest are not worth mentioning.

    Its just so average - and the ****s rarely fight <laugh>

    Who's your money on out of AJ Fury?

    Absolutely. His style is just everything AJ hates, he’s technically brilliant, very fast, bigger than AJ, plus talks his game pre-fight for months and that’s where he’ll beat Joshua, before they step in the ring.

    It needs fans though, so should wait until safe to do so.

    I think the current Tyson Fury would hold his own in any era, but old Tyson Fury would have been finished before he even got started in an era that featured the likes of Ali, or Tyson, or Lewis.

    Dubois is on track to shake up the division but as you say, they’re all ducking fights so he’ll end up as just another boxer in that mix of un-makeable fights.

    Yeah boxing without a crowd is worse than football without fans at the ground.
    The last time I remember a boxer I was so interested in watching was the emergence of Eubank back in the day

    I started watching him on the Euro sport, and then it all went PPV

    From when he started out till he became champ, he was great, he turned into a dick after he won the title tho
    also, I remember the Michael Watson fight :(

    Yeah I'm interested to see how he does.

    We really need 2 or 3 more quality fighters in the division.

    US just not producing much any more.

    was indeed, loved watching Nige too, epic boxer.

    So was Michael Watson, who had Eubank beat until that uppercut at the end of the 11th round
    Watson's corner let him go back out, which was gross ****ing negligence

    When he walked out for the 12th, he was already severely brain damaged before a punch was thrown

    Yeah , he'll get hammered. I'm more interested in the fight before that, the rematch between Franco and Moloney.

    I'm still keen on the fight because it's Crawfords biggest test at welterweight and Brook could do something in the early rounds, but Crawford will just suss him out and then go through the gears and stop him mod to late I think... Im hoping Brook can ko him, but I doubt it... Brooks no joke, but he's not very tough

    Kel emptied his tank a couple of years ago imo. I always liked watching his fights but he’s done and should have retired for me. Never been the same since that first eye socket injury that Golovkin inflicted imo.
