Parker went up in my estimation, a great deal after that. It was decent entertainment. Back in the day, you could have watched that on John Bright St for nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted March 7 Moderator Share Posted March 7 1 hour ago, sheepyvillian said: For some reason I struggle to get excited about heavyweight clashes, especially today's heavyweights. Most of them don't even look like boxers, more like doormen. I mean, Zhang is as old as Foreman when he beat Moorer. It's crazy, you would think as time has gone by, the heavyweights would have got better, but they have kind of regressed, to the point where they bore the pants of the viewer. It's just that they've gotten so much bigger isn't it? Big slow lumbering things. Someone like Joe Frazier nowadays would be encouraged to drop down twenty pounds rather than fight people the size of Zhang, Joshua or Fury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think a prime Tyson would beat most of today's top heavyweights. Too fast and too fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Just now, Follyfoot said: no need but not heard that name this century I used to love the great Scouse hope. I remember him destroying John L Gardner and the latter describing Quarless's performance as similar to Michael Dokes. Quarless then went on to get knocked out by the great Paddy Finn. You couldn't make it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 22 hours ago, mikeyp102 said: Tyson Fury trash talking Ngannu even though he’s not fighting, it’s so **** boring which he’d just retire. I saw when Ngannu told Fury, the only thing protecting him from gettitng battered is the ring and that they can only box. Proper shut Fury up, big John didn't wanna say a word either. That Ngannu with his physicality is an absolute machine, hard as anyone , scared of know one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Jake Paul (27) to fight 58 year old Mike Tyson in July. So wrong on so many levels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact is, it's not a street fight, there should only be one winner, in fact, they shouldn't even be in a boxing ring together, it's a total farce and a complete waste of viewers money.

T-Dog Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Genuinely, Tyson was a **** brute, a different era of boxing - I hope he still has that but I'm not a fan of that fight at all, not even close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake is a massive bellend, but he is also only 27 and in great physical shape. I would be shocked if a 58 year old who has spent 20 years off his face can knock him out (although it would be great to see). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Dog Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I'm gonna put my head on the line - A current Tyson throwing a punch vs a current Paul throwing a punch - I ain't gonna survive Tyson, no way. The man wasn't just a boxer, he was a monster. Paul is a rat, a nobody, a charlatan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Mike Tyson will be 58 years old when they fight. Jake Paul should be ashamed of himself. He won't be though, because he's a scumbag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if you have seen Tyson train, but he looks more than capable of putting Jake to sleep in a round. Still fast, still very strong, very scary. He'll proper hurt him off he takes it seriously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of Paul's fights look like the opponent isn't really taking it seriously otherwise he's have had more than 1 loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
