    LOL. What is he knocks out Whyte? Will you forgive him for being soulless? I agree with your break down of the modern gen though.

    Whyte has been caught juicing multiple times; he should've had his license revoked years ago for repeatedly failing multiple tests, if we're talking about the good of the sport.

    That awkward moment when you realize Whyte has a son older than Itauma....

    I don’t know what all that gen bollocks means but come on man that’s what you want to see in a champions mentality, bivol and beterbiev get all the praise in the world for being exactly the same.
    I can’t believe you brought Crawford into it to, it’s not bland it’s just they don’t put value in words.
    Bland is joe Joyce or DDD
    Restrained, composed, confident is what Ituma and Crawford have, it’s funny though because I’ve just been messaging my pal and comparing Ituma and Crawford but for completely different reasons.

    I know what you mean about that stare I train some young lads most are good but some of them are like that. They come across as just flat out rude and entitled. It's like their parents and teachers don't even teach them basic manners. I would love to see Whyte knock this wanka out.

    Completely agree with this, but the same goes for fury and canelo, if you just plead innocence eventually people either forgive or forget, I don’t though, I literally question every single victory in their career. Not one fighter that has tested positive for performance enhancing substances makes it on any atg or hall of fame list for me

    Sport would get an awful lot smaller if we did that consistently... And we'd miss out on some entertaining fights.

    I don't disagree, but realistically it's never going to happen - and it's funny how often that gets brought up for Whyte compared to how rarely it gets mentioned for some other guys (Fury, for example).

    Itauma is quite typical of Gen Z London kids. In London if you talk to guys aged about 25 or under, a lot of them have the same monotone, disinterested look, same accent, same blank stare into the abyss

    Way easier lmao. Better buying opportunities. Boomers are so out of touch with reality and have idea about how lucky they were to be born when they were.

    For what it's worth, that line of demarcation has always annoyed me a bit. Somehow the Greatest Generation get like 27 years. But Gen X (65-81) is only 16? Most people born from 1960 to 1964 all exhibit a ton of Gen X traits and certainly have more in common with Gen X than the Boomers. While most people born between 81 to 85 trend towards Gen X as well. They should probably expand Gen X from 1960 to 1985.

    It's probably due to how fast culture moved after ww2. I think with the early 60s it could could go either way. Someone like Dave Ramsey is boomer through and through but Karl Sanders and Henry Rollins definitely have more of a kinship with gen x.

    Were you ever whipped with a switch from a key lime tree? I was, but at least my grandmother was nice enough to get the one with the least amount of thorns on it.:lol: The only time she ever did that though was if I lied or talked back. Which was ****ing rare, for good reason.:lol: She was cool about pretty much every thing else.

    Do people seriously care what fighters are like outside of the ring?

    If it was about how eloquent and sharp you are outside the ring then Fabio Wardley would be the undisputed heavyweight champion Itauma would be British level and Dubois would be area level at a push but it really doesn't matter. :nusenuse:

    I'm expecting it, Whyte is shot to hell. So it won't really mean anything. At this point, a average punching guy like Hrgovic could lights out KO Whyte. Hopefully Whyte comes with a great gameplan and can execute it, but even if he does, I'm still not sure that'll be enough.

    Of course not!:lol: Why would I? KO's don't give fighters a personality.
