Interesting points but don't agree about it being three special guys. Put any of them in the 60s, 70s, 80s or 90s era and none of them get anywhere near a title imo.

They're at similar levels and are all undefeated so it's competitive and exciting.

With Dubios coming in the next 2-3 years, and let's not forget Parker was undefeated until he faced AJ too, it's good for a while yet.

All three will do well and be in the title picture simply because they are much bigger then almost any boxer in those eras and have much better standards of training etc.

Whether they would dominate is up to debate - personally I think not. TBH I'm not sure if they would if it were in the early 2000s when the Klitschkos in their prime who have equal levels of training.

But either way it doesn't matter - like you said they are similar levels and are all undefeated so finally the heavyweight division is competitive and exciting again.

Never like that argument. If they were competing at the same time they'd have the same methods available.

The fighters they fought had the same methods as they did at the time.

I had the fight on the background - Kell won but it was an awful showing by him.

On another note I have just found out that Tyson Fury's brother will be making his pro debut on 22nd Dec and will be fighting someone with the worst record I have ever seen Latvian Jevgenijs Andrejevs (10-102-3).

Anybody else find Kell Brook just...meh? I can’t stand his face, his voice or his boring patter.

He was always like that but had the ability to make up for it but ever since he went up 2 weight classes and got he face broken by GGG he has lost what he had.

Apparently this fight has made him the manditory challenger for one of the WBA super welterweight titles but is telling that he is still calling out Amir Kahn - would rather have the payday then the title.

Anyone watching Brook?

I watched it. I thought Brook was poor tbh. He won the fight easily but he kept walking into right hands from the Aussie who was nowhere near a World level fighter. If he gets another massive fight then he’ll need to be way better than that, or he’ll get knocked over. His first fight without Ingle and if I was him I’d be possibly eating some humble pie, or at the very least be seeking a new trainer, as he looked pretty awful last night.

Yeah I turned it off after 7/8 rounds as I knew he was going to win but like you thought he looked very poor.

Lomachenko was far from his best on his return after surgery, but he put in a great 11th round:

Pedraza made it a tough fight, but he did well just to survive that one.

Missed that fight - looks like he might have been found out. Him having vunerability makes the division more interesting just like Joshua vs Povotken.

His next fight is against a giant Romanian guy and is on BT Sport - will check him out.

Just found out the kid is ill and withdrew from the fight - oh well, will see if I can stay up to watch Fielding vs Canelo tonight.
 
Hope no one else watched the fight - waste of ****ing time.

Fielding has the height and reach advantage but doesn't use it at all - Canelo bullied him around the ring and knocked him down in every round with bodyshots.

utterly dodgy decision, Fury imo won every round bar the two he was knocked down in.

Wilder went on Joe Rogan claiming Fury didn't beat the 10 count <doh> (I bet he says that because even he doesn't think he won the fight on points)

Wilder has immense power, he aint a great boxer at all, he just hits super hard

Epic finish.

Here is the first fight - am gutted that I will miss this as I am going out for a Christmas party with non-boxing fans.

Hopefully Whyte will win and challenge either Charr or Joshua after but this is Chisora's last chance and he is capable of taking it.
