Yes he is an all time great Cruiserweight....as was Holyfield....but thats the problem with the division a top Cruiserweight has to fight bigger men in the Heavyweight division to get any real recognition/money......unfortunately todays heavyweights have skipped right up to Super Heavyweight and so your Holyfield/Bowe or Spinks/Tyson legit heavyweight showdowns isnt a difference of 2 inches and 5lb anymore its a difference of 6 inches and 4 stone making it all a little bit silly in comparison to more competitive heavyweight eras.

usyk shouldn’t be mentioned in the same sentence as holyfield holyfield would a beat him like a baby 

and holyfield gfiught big men lewis valuev even bigger then fury

Was a entertaining evening regardless. We all knew chisora didn't stand a chance to begin with...Dubois nearly came unstuck he did well to pull it back but showed worrying signs of wanting to pull up again, it was his corner who pushed him on thankfully. 

I agree,i had my doubts about the young Mcguigan kid as a trainer he struck me as the daddy's boy personal trainer type early on but he's becoming a good knowledgeable young trainer he did well to pull that around Dubois certainly shows some worrying mannerisms that he never showed as a youngster.

i give up chisora better then wilder  

Its worth remembering that if Wilder was to beat Chisora even now.... it would be the best win of Wilders career.....kind of puts his career into perspective doesnt it

He promised chisora a pay day fair play to him I say 

Then he shouldnt be participating in professional sport.....and certainly not for a world title....it simply cheapens his belt and sport in general.

Fury has had five world title fights.., five, and three of those were against the same opponent! Fury didn’t achieve greatness beating Wilder, he only proved Wilder was the fraud we all suspected. Dillian Whyte deserved a shot, but AJ, Povetkin, even Chisora had shown us Whyte would struggle at the highest level. Then there have been a smattering of bums in ‘warm up’ fights. I don’t dislike Fury, but there’s a lot of talk comes out of him and his camp, and the pedigree just doesn’t back up the boasting. When all’s said and done I’ll judge his standing in the sport on who he fought and beat, but also the fights I feel he avoided. Maybe it’s the money? Give a fighter tens of millions for a single fight, it makes it easy to kick back and spout shit on social media but avoid putting yourself or record in any real jeopardy…, but then it hasn’t stopped real fighting men like Mayweather, Canelo, and that crop of light/welters all mixing it up in the states the last few years. If both Fury and Joshua retired today then I’d have more respect for AJ because of who he fought…, and he’s a fighter who came up well short of any sort of greatness.

I won’t be tuning into the fight tonight, I’ll be washing what little hair I have left. Fury might get a late stoppage, or a convincing points win, he’ll sing a song in the ring, then he’ll retire…, only to reappear on Twitter next week telling the world what he ‘could’ do with AJ, Usyk etc. Bored to fcuk with all that…, either shit or get off the pot now. Waste of a great boxing career imho.

Thats pretty much the attitude of boxing fans in general.....you'll always get the loyal Joshua fans or the loyal Fury fans who just go on like besotted children but the reality is you cant pull the wool over the eyes of competitive people they need their reasoning and justification done in the sporting arena.....again,i think West Ham are the greatest club in the world,but thats because im a loyal fan and nothing more.

things improve and advance he would beat most of the greats easily he’s a giant with all the attributes needed

 

What has " improved "....arm length ? leg length ? bodyweight ?......yes he is a giant and has enough of the attributes needed to make it work for him...that DOES NOT make him a better fighter.

Likewise my " improved " racing car DOES NOT make me a better driver than Jim Clark.

How do you know that yet he's only had a couple of fights at Heavyweight....do you remember Holyfields second heavyweight fight ? no neither do i but he ended up with about 40 heavyweight fights Usyk has had what 3 ?

The difference between Holyfield and Lewis was 3 inches and about 25 lb......between Usyk and Fury it would be 6 inches and 50 lb......exactly double.

What you bringing Joshua into it for.....could/would/should you are not a clairvoyant mate so go on whats already happened.

Again,Deontay Wilder has never beaten a bigger " scalp " than Derek Chisora.........unbelievable really when you think about it isnt it

The fact you are trying to justify that fight the other night tells me you are not a boxing fan mate you are just a Fury fan......i get in and around plenty of gyms and boxing folk and havent heard one person pretend that fight was anything more than a payday between old mates.....beyond the rights and wrongs of it the " fight " itself doesnt even warrant a conversation.

Joyce against who ?
