Oleksandr Usyk must be an interesting case study for everyone who believes everything was better in the 70s . Same size as the dominant fighters of that era. No deficiency in skillset. Throws more punches than any of them ever did. He should embarrass all of these overrated big lumps, right ? Bump....

I wonder if AJ will drop his principles and fight in Saudi or some other dodgy venue? He'll follow in the footsteps of Ali and go to whichever tin pot, human rights violating, genocidal regime has a bit of cash to splash about for some good publicity. Just a shame we don't have writers like Mailer ...

Nah when this place goes I'm done, tbh it's not what it was anyway, there's a lot less wit and fun about these days.

Well this went fucking well.

What's wrong with people that they feel the need to take personal credit/personally attack others, for things they had absolutely no part in? It's really time to let go of the war as a comfort blanket.

I remember at school learning about how the UK was key in abolishing the slave trade on Friday and then going to play rugby at a school whose founder had the money to build a school from the slave trade on the Saturday.

Lolz at the hate for anything British from the inferior races !

Grrr look how evil this man who was born in the 1870s is by modern politically correct standards. TBF a lot of what he stood for was pretty despicable even in his time - the anti-suffragette position and use of the British army against striking workers was unpopular even then. Also his advocacy of ...

My impression of SBW's boxing skills was that he was a 'good amateur'. Nothing less, nothing more. I'd imagine a decent amateur would paste him tbh. Pretty much. He's obviously an astonishing athlete, but against someone his weight who's developed a boxer's balance, reflexes and timing, SBW would g...

Given what happened when SBW took on the 43 year old Frans Botha, he shouldn't go within 100 miles of Tyson.
