Arum saying Spence probably won’t be back in the ring in the next couple of years

Insane. We’re never going to see Crawford-Spence, which along with AJ-Wilder and Lomachenko-Davis make the 3 most must-see fights in boxing.

Kovalev fight off?

Of course he did. Stepped up to SMW to fight someone who wasn’t even a proper champion and then stepped up to LHW to beat a broken down champion and gave him serious money to fight almost immediately after a bruising fight where he was almost stopped.

I’m tired of this guy frauding the public.

Lost to GGG twice as far as I’m concerned.

He’s never fighting Golovkin again.

I think he will next year as Golovkin continues his sharp decline. And he’ll also make him fight at 168 too and probably stop him in the process

What do we think about Joshua dropping the IBF strap in order to speed up a Wilder/Fury matchup?

He’s not going to box three times in 2020 is he

I think AJ will fight Pulev next and then the winner of that fight (which will be AJ because Pulev is slow and robotic) will fight the winner of Wilder-Fury…

That’s the idea anyway I believe.

He should just fight Usyk in the mandatory no?

I find it very hard to believe Wilder or Fury Vs Joshua happen anytime soon.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks that because merit aside, he actually does have the talent and proven resume to support that he is as good as he is touted as. I genuinely can’t pick a SMW out there who conclusively beats him at present and as more as time goes on, his loss to Floyd Mayweather at LMW is seeming to prove to be a cherry pick that went awfully wrong

The way he has gone about it (perhaps not necessary him, himself) loses a lot of that credibility for me.

Re AJ, I think he does a Klitschko job on him quite comfortably tbh.

I don’t want Usyk to fight AJ yet. I think it’s the worst styles matchup for him in the HW division

Usyk and Pulev are both mandatories, if that ties him up until 2021, at which point you could have Dillian Whyte getting involved as well…:see_no_evil:

GGG got so screwed in his career. Everyone dodged him because he was such a beast and then in order to finally get some big pay days he was forced to take on these guys and lose his titles ect when he was way past his prime.

Looks like it’s Joshua vs. Pulev in April which means the winner of Fury-Wilder isn’t going to fight AJ because they’ll use the fact that AJ is locked in for April as an excuse to find another opponent.

SMH this disaster of a generation.

He’s young and shouldn’t be rushed but I think he’s definitely past the point of fighting guys like this. 6 foot heavyweights of no real skill or standing shouldn’t be the kind of guys being fed to Dubois.

He’s ready to fight the likes of Wach, Rivas, Tajai and other fringe heavyweights.

So it’s disappointing to see BT still making a spectacle of highlight reel knockout wins over nobodies and then straight afterwards trying to push the idea that he’s putting the division on blast lol

Fury Wilder II confirmed Feb 22

Davis came in overweight for his lightweight clash with Gamboa.

This guy has no discipline man.

Whole thing seems a shambles.

Heard some fights broke out and there was nobody to hold anyone back.

Boxing continues to make itself look clownish

Gervonta Davis can’t make weight and the push came out of nowhere from a purely nothing situation. He’s looking like a kid who can’t handle the situation mentally
