    Proud to say I know zero. In my mind MMA is still frozen in a time when Fedor and Miguel Torres are top 5 p4p. :sisi1

    Through all the divisions.

    I went through each divisions top 10, and knew more mma fighters than I did boxers.

    Never thought that day would come.

    Woulda shoulda couldas... Moments where you possibly wish the outcome was different?

    Mine are : Roy Jones, shoulda retired after Tarver 1.

    David Tua " had he beat Lennox Lewis on that night, his future would've been bright!"

    Pacman vs money may: had Pacquiao won , the "good guy" does not finish last. The world really wanted PAC to get the nod. It woulda been good for boxing!

    And Deontay wilder had Tyson fury didn't beat the ten count in the first fight... Boy boxing would be different in the hw division.

    I think that's enough for now!

    What the hell would Wilder have gone on to do? Fight AJ? Hold the title until Usyk beat him?

    Was in a discussion with a reasonably knowledgeable boxing fan and he was convinced Golovkin would beat Bivol and it drives me crazy that I couldnt convince him otherwise lol.

    Is this matchup not as clear cut as I thought?

    His main reasoning is that Golovkin grew up beating on euro style fighters.

    I just tend to think Bivols too big, too long, and too good to lose to G.

    It would be similar to the Canelo fight IMO.

    I agree with you
    Bivols extra dimensions, chin and iq would see him through to a relatively comfortable decision

    Bivol would only have a 2 inch reach advantage but was taller than GGG, Bivol is 6ft.
