Nearly every thread on the main page is regarding a heavyweight boxer. The division is insanely exciting right now and boxing seems to be doing the circles in general every day life again.
It's because there is competition at the top level. For more than 10 years, the Klitschkos were clearly above the rest. Now it's competitive.
Agree. The two brothers were the heavily favored over anyone they faced now it’s becoming clear that fury is the favorite, but he still needs to beat Joshua before he can firmly establish his dominance I think Fury will be as nominating is Wlad was, but not as long I can see fury beating Joshua then running the show for a good 5 to 7 years
Fury going to run things for years when he informs the media about retiring every other fight and saying he needs motivation to feel the need to compete ? That’s really not going to happen ,having no title defenses is a clear indication he’s not in it for the long haul . I don’t think he stacks up well against AJ either , he’s got a limited ceiling in boxing either way .
Yes very good division , who can stop the Juggernaut if he plows through Dubois ? AJ, Fury , some other guy like Hrgovic in a rematch ? So many fighters outside the top 10 creeping up to, awesome .
Yeah, the guy who unseated WladKlit from his legendary 10 year reign and came back from the abyss to beat Deontay Wilder is "limited" compared to Joshua, who lost to a 268 pound tub of refried beans. The guy who can box ambidextrous, jab and move from the outside, infight and punch is "limited" compared to the stiff KO artist. A man sees what he wants to see, and disregards the rest.
For the first time in years, good Heavyweights are fighting each other without Titles being at stake. Whyte v Povetkin, Dubois v Joyce, Usyk v Chisora… Feels like the 70's.
