Boxing II

Ah Mayweather destroyed Canelo. A much bigger and younger man.

Usyk destroyed Joshua. A much bigger and younger man.

It was impressive as hell from Crawford but I donā€™t think itā€™s the only time itā€™s happened or anything like that

Canelo was very green then. It wasnā€™t prime Canelo. He improved exponentially after. Joshua had been beaten by Ruiz, stopped. AJ was never exactly a master boxer.

Also, neither AJ or Canelo were stopped, and neither were top 5 pound for pound then, actually Iā€™d say neither were top 10 when those fights happened. Possibly Canelo.

Agree. Joshua a mile off the really top class level.

Fury and Wilder where he knock him down 3 downs

Wilder in fairness to him KOed Fury first time and the ref never counted it. Iā€™d say Wilder would tell you himself he is not on the same planet as Spence as a boxer.

The two lads on Saturday night were consensus 2 of the top 5 in the world accross all weights. Some people wouldā€™ve had Spence at 3.

I agree it was the most dominant display, Ive seen for a 50/50 fight on paper I actually thought Spence would win

Usyk vs Gassiev is the best demolition job Iā€™ve seen in recent memory.

Gassiev hasnā€™t gone on to much after with injuries. Heā€™ll be interesting at Heavyweight if he can get the fights.

Happier times when Ukraine and Russia were just punching each other in the face

The Latvian lad in that tournament gave Usyk the hardest fight Iā€™ve seen him in.

Exactly! Mayweather was unreal!

Good little main event on TNT tonight. McCann v Baluta, Warren gas a lot invested in McCann.

Bud is legit and absolutely beloved in Omaha, still lives in his old neighbourhood and the whole lot.

Listened to some of it there, a sound man. He looked in incredible shape the last day butā€¦ Itā€™s just a pity heā€™s 35. How long can you do it.

You can see too why he doesnā€™t have a huge profile, need that mayweather/McGregor personality

Itā€™s depressing that you are right there.

Crawford was managed poorly and/or made poor decisions himself. If was more ruthless and if Bob Arum wasnā€™t such a leach he would have gotten more big name fights.

Dennis McCann coming up there very shortly on BT Sport.

This McCann lad is very open. Baluta doesnā€™t have to work too hard to find a way in.
