    Love boxing but will not pay to watch anymore on telly, too much money and it can all be over in seconds.

    There have been so many greats over the years I would find it hard to choose a favourite.I think I was pretty lucky being able to watch some of the old greats. Saw all the Ali fights on the telly. Loved Sugar Ray Leonard and the young Mr Tyson who was such a mean machine, not the greatest boxer but one hell of a fighter. So many great names that became legends.

    Loads of good UK fighters as well like Alan Minter, Dave Boy Green, Henry Cooper, Benn, Eubank etc. Went out with a girl in the early eighties who used to hang around with the London boxing crowd, never been so scared of ending a relationship as I was with her. Steered well clear fora while, just in case.

    Really dislike Tyson Fury, his head is so big he makes a great target, just a big guy with a big ego IMO, not a very good boxer. Hopefully Haye will shut him up.

    Agreed id like to see haye knock him out. Even tho haye can be an egomaniac he has done his bit for the people and for charities etc. Tyson fury just always seems pissed off!

    Deontay Wilder (30-0 ALL KO'S) will be the next heavyweight champ.

    And Mike Tyson, when he was in his prime, he could beat and knock out anybody including Lennox Lewis & Co.

    Long way to go yet..., and tbh, think it'll be shite...

    Gutted for smith, great heart but Abraham looked so much more powerful and soaked everything smith had.

    Just watching the Murray v Golovkin fight.

    Golovkin is an absolute animal.... 31 wins 28 knockouts. No wonder anyone want to fight the bloke. Looks nothing off him either :eek:
