    For me, heavyweight boxing has been on its arse for a long long time, the only fight worth watching in the last 10 years would have been Vitali and Wladamir but that was never going to happen. For these title fights the only way to sell it is for someone to act le dick head in the run up, so i'm really not sure whether what Fury is doing is an act or not. Klitschko will defo win for me, reckon it'll be on points though. One thing is for sure though, when he retires there will be a serious vacuum of decent haevyweights

    Joshua is rumoured to be fighting Tyson next year, regardless of the result of the Klitschko fight.

    I hope he tears him a new one.

    Wonder what is stopping America from having one or more heavyweights?

    You think of the following from growing up

    Tyson
    Holyfield
    Foreman
    Bowe

    and now nothing

    Fury has deffo got the talk! But every time I see him he just doesn't look fit enough to be taken seriously! He keeps saying klitchsko is too old! But he looks like the one with the old body!

    He thinks he can get by just being a naturally gifted fighter. He does have great speed and movement for man his size.

    Klitschko wins this one with a knockout. The next British World Heavyweight Champ will be AJ.

    I think of the following boxers from when I was growing up in the 80's:

    Sugar Ray Leonard
    Roberto Duran
    Thomas Hearns
    Marvin Hagler
    Thomas Hearns
    Iran Barkley

    - and that's just the middleweight division. I may have forgotten some but the point is they were all great fighters who all regularly fought one another. Boxing today is a joke.

    Vaguely remember Alan Minter losing to Hagler. Were these guys in the same division as Eubanks and Benn? Although different eras, I wonder what the top ten rank would look like if you added Watson, Calzagie and McClelland

    It seemed me they just didn't like Nigel Benn, for some reason.
