Ffs, I hope not. These guys are sick in the head.
In his prime RJJ was in my opinion he greatest of all time. Hes tarnished his legacy so many times though.

It looks as though the Benn opponent might be the Australian former WBC World Super Middleweight Champion Sakio Bika who for a short time held the belt in 2013 - 14. He's 40. But who knows. Anyways, I don't think it's all that smart for a 55 year old to start taking shots to the head.

He has actually got a valid point. The problem with Del boy is that he struggles to get his point of view across very wellDell Boy on the angry pills.

Well, the rumours have finally been confirmed ... Sergey Kovalev will defend his WBO Light Heavyweight Title against Canelo Alvarez. Alvarez will jump two classes when he meets Kovalev at the MGM Grand on November 2.
A few years ago that would look a seriously tall order for Canelo.
Given how poor Kovalev has looked at times in recent fights, I suspect Canelo will simply have a bit too much for him.
I’d prefer to see Canelo v GGG III to be honest.
Now that Canelo had moved to light heavy,I suppose that pretty much kills the prospects of another Canelo - GGG fight. A real pity.
I'm with you guys in thinking Canelo will probably beat Kovalev, but I think it'll be a really interesting bout. From what I can find, Kova usually re-hydrates to anywhere between 11 - 15 pounds heavier. He'll also be 4 inches taller and have a couple of inches in reach. He has reasonably fast hands too, I don't think he's all that keen when it comes to taking it to the body.

Kovalev is ripe for the picking. He has been pretty much a shot fighter since the battles with Ward.And as you said, Kovalev hates punches to the body. Canelo is one of the best body punchers in world boxing.
I can see nothing but a very easy fight for Canelo.

Completely agree
Agreed chaps, body punches to sort this one out.
Any of you tuning in to the Frank Warren farce tonight with Fury? Good to see frank milking the gravy train with low risk uncompetitive fights as always. Hearn is a twat but at least he matches up with top fighters.
Fury Joshua would be a fascinating fight and it’s one we need.
Andy Ruiz has something to say about that though I’m sure.

I watched a highlight reel on Wallin and he looked absolutely terrible. So that's a no from me.
Fury v Wallin. Blood, blood and more blood.

Tyson looked very very sluggish. So many slappy type punches, it reminded me of a Calzaghe performance.
Big John was in scathing form.
“It’s the worst I’ve seen from Tyson. I’m proud of how he has mauled his way through but he has to be honest and say things are not right. For a man to be in that condition after eight weeks (in) camp – it looked like he had nothing after round two.His strength and power went tonight, he was as weak as a kitten from the first round. At 18 stone one, I’ve warned him and warned him. He is a 19-stone fighter.
“If I had my way, the lot (Tyson’s corner) would be gone. If they keep that team that will be his career.There was no snap to the punches, he lost his shape, the power was not there, his feet were coming together, it was an untidy effort."
“His will to win is unprecedented but he made hard work of it from the off. How does a man like Otto Wallin, with limited ability, get that close with a piercing jab?
“An injury like that could finish a career, he might need surgery on that.”

Anyone heard of this Cuban heavyweight by the name of Sanchez Faure? Some reckon he will surpass all the British heavyweights and is ready to fight any of them now, especially Joshua. Could be all hot air of course but apparently has a very good amateur pedigree
