Joshua (w) v Chisora Fury (w) v Miller Whyte (w) v Hrgovic Pulev v Povetkin (w) Wilder (w) v Joyce Ruiz (w) v Ortiz Usyk (w) v Dubois Parker v Hunter (w) Glad to hear the home schooling is going well!
Having to home school three kids (not mine), I am certain the human race would die out within a few decades if schools didn’t exist. The only remnants left would be the druggies that don’t give a **** about their kids and leave them roaming the streets at all hours...the rest of us would decide not to reproduce...
Ha ha. One good thing about this whole thing is teachers are getting more respect. My mum was a teaching assistant and I was going to go to uni to be a PE teacher so I’m conscious of the jealous digs the profession constantly gets in terms of holidays etc. Nobody stopped them becoming a teacher so they shouldn’t be jealous because teachers were clever enough to go for a decent paying job with 13 weeks off. Not to mention them type of people you mention who are always the “my kid can do no wrong” type. Where I live now there will be plenty of kids who haven’t been taught a thing by the lazy parents.

I'm of the opposite opinion, I think Joyce is ridiculously overrated. He is just far too slow for the top level, has zero head movement and is a KO waiting to happen.
Mostly agree but he’s better than Brezeale, who for some reason was considered top 10 at one stage. He’s a solid fighter but however strong his chin is he’s asking for trouble with how he hangs it out to dry against Wilder. I could see a scenario where he forces him into the back foot and beats him up but more likely to be KO’d pretty early. Unless Wilder’s power is overrated.
Since I've been laid off work I've been attempting to home school my 4 rugrats. Not going great to be honest lol. Yesterday was meant to be a Maths work. Worked for about 30 minutes before I lost all control. In the end was telling them all about Danny Williams and other Uk Heavyweights lmao. I feel your pain @Twentyman.
Who else would give their left testicle just to have one of those potential match ups scheduled to take place this weekend!? Lol on the home schooling front my 3 eldest are really enjoying boxing training as part of our daily routine. My 8 year old daughter has a real dangerous right hand! Now my picks..... Joshua Fury Whyte Pulev Wilder Parker Ruiz Dubois Nice work @Twentyman
Joshua v Chisora(W) - Fancy Del Boy to bull ahead and get the upset (W)Fury v Miller (W)Whyte v Hrgovic (W)Pulev v Povetkin- Difficult one to call (W)Wilder v Joyce (W)Ruiz v Ortiz (W)Usyk v Dubois (W)Parker v Hunter
My 12 year old cousin was in tears as I tried to teach her algebra...it’s horrific. Edit: sorry to hear about the job dude, that really sucks. The one time I feel fortunate to be in the public sector.
Sorry to hear about the job, bud. I imagine quite a few of us are in the same boat. Hang in there, lads.
AJ - KO 7-9. Too good for Chisora who will be walked on to shots Fury - Wide UD. Miller has a bit of success but wins 2 rounds max. Fury too rangy, and too good. Whyte - TKO. Chin of Hrgovic the issue for me Povetkin - KO/Points - Favour Povetkin with the left hand being the difference Wilder v Joyce - Very interesting match up. Joyce has zero hand speed and foot speed but is fundamentally sound and has a good chin. I'd lean towards Wilder Ruiz - TKO. Too good for any version of Ortiz for me, who's career has been all smokes and mirrors Usyk - Late TKO/ wide UD. Too soon for Dubois to fight a boxer of this level. Parker - Close points. Tough to call. I think an in shape Parker is a better heavyweight than Hunter, but i wouldnt be on the outcome when Parker is involved. Threw away the fight with Whyte that was his for the taking.
Cheers boys. Still not sure if I'm getting this 80% wages thing or if I got to join the other half a million people to claim ESA for a whopping £73 a week. Hope you both carry on working and earning.
Joshua Fury Whyte Povetkin. Wilder Parker Ruiz Usyk Parker. Personally I don't follow the HWs as closely as the other divisions, so I'm not as confident In analysing each of there strengths, weaknesses, styles, and how they would match up etc. I feel this is my best pick. Look fwd to rd 2
