    Yeah I agree, also him and his team said the Carson Jones fight was a mistake with diet and conditioning and looking at tonight you have to say they told the truth.

    Was Mike Tyson ever that wild? Jumping in and smothering himself like that?
    I heard people say that Porter's style kind of reminds them of Tyson:lol:

    How long has Boxing been dying for? Seems like people regurgitate that line over and over again.

    Boxing ain't going anywhere. :yep

    Khan really comes over well, when he's away from his team.

    Giving a hell of a lot of props to Brook (It's not Brooks ffs) and Khan definitely wants the chance to fight Brook. It actually makes sense for them to fight now.

    No, however Holyfield used similar tactics as Brook by tying up Tyson on the inside everytime Tyson got close.

    Tyson actually had a jab and would set up his punches, he wouldn't just flail away at his opponents.

    Porter not using his jab to get inside was frustrating to watch

    That was a classic, Ryan Rhodes sitting next to Khan in the studio and saying he thinks Brook will beat Khan.

    That would be a great fight. Neither guy can fight on the inside so it will be Khan pushing Brook away on the inside or Brook holding onto Khan.

    Yawn.
