A couple off the top of my head; •Whitaker-Pryor at light-welterweight •Spinks-Foster at light-heavyweight •Lomachenko-Marcel at featherweight •Fenech-Rigondeaux at super-bantamweight •Hearns-Gavilán at welterweight
@DanRafael1 fun question of the day. If you could fantasy book any two fighters of the same weight class in history that casual fans wouldn’t pick (e.g. Ali/Tyson or Floyd/Sugar) which two would you pick?
Benavidez? I’ll have whatever this guy is having
Its two guys I want to see bump with Usyk. Opetai and Benavidez. I know theyre small but you need a gas tank to deal with Usyk. Anyone over 250lbs is going to run out of gas keeping up with that rhythm.
You obviously can’t teach Jones’ athleticism, but you absolutely can teach how to set traps. To the level that he executed it at? Maybe not. But focussing solely on Jones’ athleticism detracts from just how smart he was.
Roy Jones be training fighters like what he was doing can be taught 😂😂😭
I can’t get over how electric this. Watched it 20 times today. RIP Ozzy Osbourne.
@TypewritingDA said this once, Srisaket Sor Rungvisai vs Sung-kil Moon at super flyweight
Ozzy Osbourne has sadly passed away at the age of 76.

Incredible. Boxing never disappoints
🚨DON CHARLES REVEALS DETAILS ON DUBOIS PRE FIGHT GATHERING Don Charles has today come out and discussed the footage online of Daniel Dubois’ pre fight ‘gathering’ hours prior to his 5th Round Stoppage Loss to Oleksandr Usyk. (@talkSPORT)
Fast forward four years, and now people are calling for Tszyu’s retirement. Special my arse
Lol. You’re just mad the Irish lost tonight. Dude is special talent
This is excellent.

*Taps the sign*
Barrios is really fucking bad, even with the size advantage I don’t see him winning
Adam Smith with some incredible sensationalism there - top 10 greatest boxer of all time? He’s outstanding but keep your lid on
I enjoyed that win more than usual, and I suspect so did Usyk
Like a puppet on a string. Usyk looking to bait that right hand, gets what he wants and comes back with the left hand counter
