Del Boy is a really hard one to rate, used to think he was a total european/world gatekeeper but he seems to be getting better and more consistent the older he gets.

Probably isn’t world title level but the likes of Joyce need to be avoiding him like the plague!

Chisora v Price probably has a few quid in it after tonight.

What a round, both tough as nails

Pigeon_Killer · 20 Jul 2019 at 23:48

Hoping for fireworks in this last round.

Excellent performance from Whyte and should win by at least 8 rounds.

robfosters · 21 Jul 2019 at 00:04

Give Whyte his shot now!

Even though Wilder will KO him

Locky · 21 Jul 2019 at 00:48

Yeah I think Wilder stops Whyte fairly early..

gronf · 21 Jul 2019 at 04:00

Want Whyte to get a title shot mainly due to justice for his more solid resume than Wilder and Fury's a while ago that has partly faded relevance. But Whyte still has the better resume of anyone besides the top 4, and would be good for either if Wilder/Fury don't fight each other, but he should get Wilder of course.

Ah, Pac did it. Still, he may retire soon, and Thurman should be better, so I'd like a Spence/Crawford/Porter/better-Thurman all or nearly all fight each other Fab 4 style.

He probably should but he’s still a world level welter. I can see a rematch with Thurman or a Spence fight.

Manny Pacquiao should face the winner of the Shawn Porter / Spence fight

gronf · 21 Jul 2019 at 14:57

Yeah, hopefully Pac has another decent fight or two left in him, but of course he can retire knowing he's a legend.

gronf · 22 Jul 2019 at 02:17

Edit: Ehh, no..

The problem with Chisora is he’s dangerous AF.

I really like Manny but I was hoping Thurman would win jusy so Manny doesn't go the route of Hopkins and Jones Jr where they fight well beyond their sell by date. I think Manny has Porter's number as they used to be sparing partners. But Spence? I really think he lives up to his moniker of 'The Truth' I think he eats Manny alive.

If he turns up in the mood. He is very inconsistent it seems.

Damn.

I heard about this from a video with Tim Bradley. Really sad, we love this sport but jesus the price is high for the fighters. That's why any one who steps in the ring needs to be respected. The game is to hit and not get hit. Say what you will about Floyd but he read the memo.

Quinnaay · 24 Jul 2019 at 23:49

Just seen a rumour that Whyte tested positive for PEDs after Rivas win. Oh hell no!

BaZ87 · 25 Jul 2019 at 00:23

Just reading about this and supposedly the positive test was before the fight and that Whyte, Hearn and the boxing board were all aware of this and allowed the fight to take place regardless.

gronf · 25 Jul 2019 at 00:32

I defended him on another forum over that previous "PED" thing since it was just some over-the-counter energy stuff, but I won't defend this. If true, **** him.

Quinnaay · 25 Jul 2019 at 00:39

Poor if so, i think he would have beat him without the substance. He also knew the title shot would come if he won it makes no sense. I do remember in his interview after the fight when he asked him hes now the mandatory and will fight the winner of Wilder and Fury. To his response yeah we will see you know boxing. Makes me think he knew he was going to get caught out or as mentioned he had already been caught out and it still went ahead.

rubberduck · 25 Jul 2019 at 06:59

Criminal that the fight went ahead. Hearn is a scumbag.

Jimbeam3678 · 25 Jul 2019 at 07:35

As always money talks! How the hell can a fight go ahead when someone has failed a drugs test? We are potentially talking about someones life
