So Usyk, right up there with the all time greats?

Got to be. Should pack it in now really. He's beaten everyone out there at the moment, most of them more than once. Nothing left to prove.

Agree. I think he has a few fights left in him due to his intelligent style of boxing, but I wouldn’t blame him for going out at the top either.

Comes across as a great role model.

I like that he calls his left hook Ivan.

Parker should be given his shot against Usyk although I think Usyk will win it with relative ease.

Sad to hear about Ricky Hatton, always came across as genuinely down to earth and his ability to go from overweight, bloke down the pub to a fit, superb fighter in a couple of weeks was incredible.

Anthony Joshua is going to fight Jake Paul on 19th December.
It bound to be some sort of fix. There will almost certainly be some sort of no knockdown cause in the contract.
If Joshua can’t knock out Jake Paul inside 2 rounds then the whole thing is completely pointless and will make Joshua look ridiculous.

Im looking forward to that. No matter how it ends a complete tool is going to get a hiding.

If Paul wants to play at professional boxing why doesn’t he commit to 12 x 3-minute rounds?

Joshua can be a bit fragile mentally, and if he doesn’t take it seriously he’ll get beaten up. If on the other hand he does take it seriously then it could get dangerous.

Anyway, I probably read about it the day after.

Figured the resurrection of this thread would be about a proper fight.

Thought the Benn/Eubank pagger was decent and I'm glad they seem to have left it at honours even.

Let's just hope it wasn't semi-choreographed like the Tyson fight was.

Looks like Jake Paul got smeared across the landscape by Joshua. A broken jaw and a knockout was Paul's just deserts IMHO.
