    Agreed.

    The time has come to get fully behind Dubois and Itauma.

    Yeah it's funny, because I've always gotten behind Parker being front NZ, but I wouldn't be too upset if Dubois got up as I'm sick of the 2010s era of fighters and wish they'd go away so yeah, for the division, it would be a lot more beneficial if Dubois got up.

    The 2010s was a very mediocre era for the division. Full of ducking and big fights not happening. Time for the next generation to take over.

    That poor lad Ortiz must have serious regret about getting in the ring twice with Wilder.

    The KOs were not the problem, it was the damage done to his CV which meant he would never be rated by Mitch

    I think Tyson is mentally gone. One of them has released a book about how he battled mental health. I would stop there, but Tyson has not only lost his last few and not won a meaningful fight to the division in so long he also has lost the very one thing he thought he would never lose - the right to pick and choose his opponents. The Saudis will want him up against Joshua, Dubois, Parker and certainly not Sefferi, Scwartz and that shower. The Saudis had to get Joshua in to level Ngannou so the divsion wasn't a laughing stock. Now that Tyson lost to Usyk the Saudis won't be ridiculed again by him. And Tyson has lost his last few fights. He had false confidence by the ton when he was winning. The sheer state of him at the Usyk rematch presser and fight when he was unshaven and had bingo wings tells me that his mental health is shot. I smell a retirement.

    You are a Grade-A Warren fanboy and you know it. You hate Matchroom and you try and worm your way out of these questions after waxing lyrical that Tyson was the man. Snide.

    Fury made the division interesting when he beat Klitscko. The heavyweight division will always remain king in my opinion.

    In what way? One mando in a decade, failed a drug test for the rematch, avoided the best, the fought Chisora.

    Beat the long reigning champ, paved the way for other fighters to make a name for themselves.

    Yes, Fury's behaviour afterwards was disappointing. But I felt like the British fighters made the division and sport more mainstream at the time.

    As a result of Fury fannying about for two years, Klitscko didn't fight hence other fighters got to build their profile.

    So yeah I'm turning a negative into a positive.

    Funny, I've always thought that despite all the BS, and flannel, that a confident AJ right uppercut would be an issue for Fury.

    I guess we'll find out soon

    Maybe, he's stiff though isn't he. No idea what Fury would turn up. Like I said no belts on the line..I would've supported Fury no questions asked but now? Not really mithered. Usyk is the man.

    He was sound. Talked complete bollocks and disagreed with everyone but never got personal with it :lol:
