I'm sure we had this discussion when Wlad lost against Fury. You waxed lyrical about him then. He's really not that good.

He is well past it and over 40 years old.

I have no idea what will happen as I think there are a ridiculously number of intangibles and no outcome would surprise me.

I just think it's daft to write someone off who is a widely accepted all time great.

8th round though. And Lewis was much taller than Tyson. I do think Tyson in his prime could beat the likes of Fury, Wlad and maybe even Joshua today. Guy was an animal. Tyson had great stamina as well but you didn't see it much cause his fights barely went passed 2nd round. His biggest weakness was not pacing himself right.

I don't know what that's got to do with it, it was one of the most one sided heavyweight title fights I ever saw.

He's won a fair few fights, mostly against bums who weren't fit to take centre stage in a boxing ring anyway. That's why he wasn't popular in the States - he wasn't seen as a big deal, which he isn't.
 
Joshua is one of only two boxers to win the world heavy weight title, whilst still being the reigning Olympic Champion.

Any guesses who the other one is?

I think he wasn't a big deal in the states because he is Ukrainian.

Americans like American heavyweights.
 
Has there been all the usual pre match bluster and shenanigans this time?

I never follow all the pre fight bollocks bit AJ and Klitschko both seem quite reserved in their demeanour.

**** me sideways, you THINK Tyson in his prime COULD beat Fury.

It would be over in 60 seconds.

Have I made a tit of myself and read that wrong?

IMO a focussed, motivated and well prepared Tyson would have beaten any other heavyweight in history.

He was an unstoppable force of nature.

He would've destroyed Fury but don't think he'd have beaten anyone, he came out like a Tasmanian Devil and if he didn't win in 6, it was a problem.

As you think The Catch make decent fish and chips, your opinion is worthless.

He could probably still beat Fury now.
