Off Topic Boxing discussion thread - Fury vs Usyk may 2024

Possibly Lewis, Holyfield was way too small.

Fury would be 50lbs heavier than Holyfield, faster, technically better. No contest.

Fury probably a good 2st heavier than Lewis as well. I’d favour Fury all day.

 

What’s a proper boxer?

 

Someone who isn't fat at least.

 

Hey, I can box.

 

This isn't going to end well.

 

Jokes aside i'm not surprised the guy hasn't responded to that because there isn't one.

A fat boxer being at the top level tells you everything you need to know.

That mexican bloke was even fatter than Fury.

 

100%

 

I think Lewis and holyfield would beat the brakes of every current heavyweight

 

Totally agree. The current ones are over rated.

Usyk is a good tech boxer mind but the reality is he should not even be in the heavy weight division.

He will box Joshua to death unless Joshua gets him early: that’s Joshua’s only chance.

Joshua has to come out with power.

 

So you think boxers need to look like AJ or something?

Go on, name one. You can’t.

Absolutely desperate to say Joshua or David Haye or some ****e like that, but realised they both got picked off by a little fatty.

 

Ruiz was a classic old school boxer who was just hard as nails.

The fat actually helps take impact off punches especially body shots.

But he could take a punch. The beauty of the heavyweight division is that you can be as fit as hell but if you can’t take a punch your going down.

 

We were all told Fury would need to get up off the floor to beat Whyte cos the guy is an animal, an old school street fighter. In truth it was embarrassing to watch.

 

Was man v boy in reality wasn’t it.

 

It was. Back to the topic though, Joshua needs to jab well, move well and hope he can catch Usyk with a few bombs. Usyk is p4p the best there is apparently so he’s not gonna stand and get hit tonight. If I was a betting man I’d be going for a repeat of the first match.

 

Joshua has to floor him in the first 6 if not Usyk wins points.

 

Don't agree gg it's hw so could end any second and it's not impossible uysk kos Joshua anytime either

 

And if that happened I would love it. Because I don’t particularly like Joshua.

I like Usyk and have watched him rise through the ranks for years.

 

Joshua is useless he's got no head movement and no chin

 

I agree.
