Finished his first phase of training to fight Price? Training to get out of the way when Prices massive body falls hard at his first clean shot?
If Haye doesn't get Joyce on his Bellew card and an opponent who would be a real solid win for him, someone who would immediately introduce Joyce...
Exactly, I've been saying something like this for years. Mainly, we don't need a SHW division, but I think raising the CW division by 5 ten pounds...
Hrgovic definitely. Also, Kownacki and Kuzmin arr no longer prospects, they've graduated to semi promising fringe contenders.
In the "Pros", not in the past. Damn autocorrect, it gets me every time.
I don't see him being a Fury or AJ and supplanting Wlad, but maybe a Povetkin like career at just the level below? I'm sure he had a good life...
"Installed", exactly. Installed by who? Lineage can be created either by (near) universal acclimation, or by beating the man who was (near)...
Jeffries came back and got beat by Johnson. Marciano retiring is a better example. But then Patterson got the belt that was universally recognised...
In many ways I agree with you, I'd just substitute your "lineal" for my "dominant" champ. Wlad and Vitali were both ATGs, I have them tied at #10...
I didn't mean they are similar in fighting style, (except for being small hw's), just similar level of hype about both after a very narrow win...
Great thread. Vitali is probably my favorite fighter. And while I think both are overstated, there is legitimate criticism about his resume and...
Both statements are probably true. Breidis would be a step up for Wilder, but Wilder would still be heavily favored.
Both great fights. But in both fights, instead of being evidence that maybe they were reaching their natural level, the fight was largely...
By the same token, I'm not sure why the converse is so hard to grasp. If Usyk moves up and beats a top level SHW titlist, relying on his speed,...
He's never been lineal. People conflate Ring and Lineal. Lineal is undisputed, the man who beat the man. Last one was Lewis. The K's never fully...
