    Which boxers do you think are putting there health at risk by continuing to fight? I was thinking this after watching Kell Brook, the damage GGG did to his eye socket and then the pain from it caused him to quit against Spence is scary. I understand Eddie Urn wants to build up a fight with Khan so will put him in 'safe' fights until he can milk that one but it really is dangerous

    I’m a Scott Quigg fan, but for a long time in interviews it kinda feels like he’s showing early signs of pugilistic dementia. Also feel this with Ashley Theopane and a bunch of others.

    A lot of them have been finally going lately.

    Pacquiao, Abraham, Diablo Wlod, Omar Narvaez, Juanma Lopez, Yaegashi, Mundine, Kessler's alleged comeback attempt... plenty more.

    Danny Williams. He has been fighting and getting knocked out around Eastern Europe for years now.

    Ortiz, 48 years old is way past the age where it’s safe to be boxing especially with a heart condition!

    Amir Khan, his heart clearly isn't in it anymore, he could go in with some lighter hitting boxers, but should avoid big punchers, he's had a few brutal ko's over the years

    It would yeah, good bloke Price. It just never happened for him as a pro, I think Povetkin will brutally prove that too. Hope i’m Wrong

    Briggs Oquendo Fury and Haye. Those are the guys that are dragging down the HW division right now. Okay fine Briggs is a fun guy but he finally got a chance and messed it up so bad with this ban. I don't even want to start about Oquendo , can't wait for him to cash out. About Fury? He dethroned the best in the division and dissapeared... Left a lot of questions in everyone ... Said he is coming back around 6 or 6 times and he never did. Don't get me wrong I don't doubt his boxing skills, but his mental condition. And the last person - Haye ... You can't train in Miami , The Bahammas and Cancun and expect to come back as someone who everyone should be afraid of in the division. He is way past his best years and is too fragile... I don't think Bellew Haye 2 will even happen.
