Yeah, I honestly believe he would have gone down as an all time great if he had stayed at cruiser. But the lure of heavyweight glory and money proves too strong for a lot of the best cruisers.

You can't become an all time great fighting at cruiser. Just can't be done. It's a joke of a division, really. A last glory run shot at a title for old fighters from middleweight to light heavy, or a more permanent home for those just not good enough to mix with the big boys in HW.

GGG vs Alvarez scheduled for September.

Thought GGG did enough in the first fight to win the decision but with an extra year on the clock and more suspect judging it'll be very hard for him to win, regardless of whether he deserves it or not.

Golovkin is getting toward the end of his career but I wouldn't write him off on age. The judging standards in the US need to be looked at deffinatly. No way Cannelo did enough to deserve the draw.

It's a strange weight, but the step from light heavy to heavy is huge today. Most of the modern heavyweights are monsters. The WBC are even considering a super heavy belt for 230lbs.

I can think of few great 200lbs guys I'd think twice before getting in with and a prime Haye would be one of them.

They are basically youtube celebrities, fair play to them making money in different ways but let’s not pretend this is anything other than trying to heighten their image. It’s not boxing per say but if you take it for what it is - It’s mildly amusing.
 
Looks like Wilder still hasn't signed for the Joshua fight!

What fighter with Wilders record turns down 15 million and a free shot at a unification...

He's bottled it, he knows he can't beat AJ.

AJ has now been ordered by WBA to arrange Povetkin fight.
 
Have my first boxing match this Saturday night, walkout music had to be confirmed yesterday and I've placed a bet that England will make it through against Croatia today as I'm walking out to Fat Les - Vindaloo! Will be a little bit awkward if we've lost against Croatia, and then against Belgium too in the playoff earlier in the day :p
