    Rahman sounds good. Clear and coherent.

    Do you have to be HOF material to beat Bakole? We don’t know coz Bakole has fought no one. I think Hunter has the speed and awkwardness to beat Bakole from the eye test, he only has to watch out for the counters.

    I never brought up his fight against Usyk or mentioned triangle theories do not sure if you’re confusing my comment with someone else’s.

    That Rahman interview is good stuff. He still keeps and a good eye on the sport and is pretty honest and accurate throughout.

    Hunter UD. He did well against Usyk, won 3-4 rounds.

    He does. He's always come across as a pretty cool guy in interviews.

    I haven't seen much of Bakole but from the little I have seen he looks like he packs a big punch, has pretty fast hands, decent skills, and he displayed good head movement too in one of the fights of his I watched. And if what Billy Nelson says about how he's handled himself in sparring with AJ, Tyson and Hughie Fury, Dubois and others, and I get the impression it is, well Hunter might have bitten off more than he can chew. To be honest, I think Hunter's probably underrating him and obviously the weight difference between them is enormous.

    Hunter has had plenty of experience fighting much bigger and heavier men in the amateurs but yeah the weight difference is huge.

    I was merely making mention of it. I realize you didn’t insinuate anything.

    It’s all good, well I’m going for a Hunter win probably by UD, I think Martin has a punchers chance tho. You got Bakole?

    His comments about Lennox Lewis & Mike Tyson were interesting.

    He mentioned Tyson & Lewis sparring when they were younger.

    I asked Mike Tyson about that once & his response was "I was the best in that age group".

    I interpreted his response as meaning "I beat the bag out of him".

    That's not what he said but I think it's what he meant.

    And contrary to what Hunter or his team says he's better at CW. He looked a bit stiff and cumbersome against Kilzade with the extra weight. At CW he moved a lot better and was more flued.

    Bakole hasnt fought at a level for any of us to know whether he is going to be capable of stepping up to the level where Hunter is at and being competitive. So I must go by the eye test here.

    I am back Bakole to win via UD here, because he has solid boxing skills and his power will be the decisive factor in allowing him to control the pace and ring.

    I'd pick a prime Tyson to beat a prime Lewis. That said, I thought Tua was going to knock Lewis out.

    Yeah I noticed that too. Like I said in a previous post. I get the impression Hunter is underrating Bakole. I think he's taken a quick look at his record and seen that he hasn't beaten anybody and is assuming he mustn't be up to much and that he has mixed in much higher company both as an amateur and pro. He's talking about knocking Bakole out and predicting that they is going to be fireworks, which is not the smartest strategy when you're facing a big punching, pretty fast and durable looking opponent that outweighs you by over 40lbs.

    I didn't find much accurate here actually Tyson knocked Lewis out big Joe Egan details the exact incident he was actually there. He seems out of the loop in current times as well to suggest only a few good fighters and can't see him beating M.Tyson.
    Decent showing against Usyk, far more competitive fight then the scorecards suggested but he's going to get hit hard here and won't have that reach advantage.
