    I don't think we'll ever know the full extent. Gazza absolutely battered his ex, literally black and blue, top lad though, great guy, he was just depressed etc. Calzaghe probably did partake in some domestic abuse but we'll never know the truth, it's all a little murky which is probably why a lot more hasn't been made of it. He almost certainly cheated on his partner before but come on, it's bad but it's hardly uncommon, none of what I've mentioned of Calzaghe the great Ali didn't do, crikey, if we are going to start on Calzaghe then Ali would be up for the rope in public, if we'r on the subject of greats then Sugar Ray Robinson, Lamotta, they were all at it. If we're sticking with Brits then lets drag Nigel Benn and Eubank into the mix, hardly angels, Benn was a complete case. I'll say this, Calzaghe has almost certainly struggled mentally a lot more than Tyson Fury has, his boxing career was born out of bullying, nerves, depression, anxiety, those things made him the boxer he was.

    I think that's exactly what would happen if he faced Usyk, Tyson is slowing down, he can't move like he could which is why he fought the way he did in his last two fights. Don't get me wrong, it's still brilliant and he's still a brilliant boxer but it plays into Usyk's hands, that style.

    Wilder/AJ is whoever lands first, wins.

    I think Wilder is mentally done. Got absolutely embarrassed and his power never bailed him out. He must be having nightmares.

    He'd demolish Whyte.

    Ruiz, Dubois, Joyce, Arreola, Gassiev, Yoka, Hrgovic all make light work of him. He's club level when it comes to pure skill and technique.

    He would knock seven shades of **** out of all the names you've mentioned.

    If he was mentally done he would've been so after the 2nd Fury fight but instead he took the third and still put Fury down twice.

    If he can hit Fury on the chin he's hitting all of them on the chin and they're not getting up and seeing the fight out.

    Whyte would? Don't be silly. Got your wires crossed.

    I stated that the guys mentioned would school Whyte, not Wilder ;-)
