Hareydave 1,214 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 don't think holmes got the credit he deserved I think he was looked down on as just Ali sparring partner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,822 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Nobody has brainwashed me, there was some talent back in the 80's. Holmes, Witherspoon, Dokes, Tubbs, Page...... Puts fighters these days to shame IMO. All Don King fighters you mean .....only Holmes of those names wasnt on the sniff for most of the decade !........answer me this as truthfully as you can........apart from Holyfield v Dokes which was a good fight......name me 1 heavyweight title fight in the ,s that was an exciting competetive fight ?

jeemes 4,779 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Cant wait to see wlad destroy him. I consider wlad one of if not the greatest heavy weights ever. And although fury has been boring his last few fights he has been fighting smart and shown some good boxing juat not on the same level as klitchko You hit nail on the head there,he is boring..Hes just getting through with his eye on the big money fight if he gets it.. He wont give Wlad any problems,but does he really deserve that chance? Personally I dont care if he deserves it,I just want to see him knocked out and gone..People like him shouldnt be representing Britain on a world stage. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Plummerterrier 291 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I would like to see Anthony Joshua do well and was looking forward to seeing him fight Kevin Johnson would have been a real step up and we would have seen what he was made of. Given time Joshua could be a great British heavyweight . He's sparred with wlad and he has came out and said he rates him Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think your maybe clutching at straws a little bit now mate dont you .....and we,ll ignore the fact that many of those fights were not even world title fights Edited March 4, 2015 by gnasher16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blackmaggie 3,377 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 has a person im not keen on the man but has a boxer i hope he does well for himself and his family because when all said and done its a life of dedication to reach the level were he has so if he wins a title then fair play to him but hes certainly marmite 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well I dont think he is good enough,and apart from that hes a gobby foul mouthed delusional moron who doesnt know how to behave in public. Apart from that I cant think of anything really.

Apart from that I cant think of anything really.Tyson actually does all the bad boy cocky image to sell fights, people who have met him will tell you he's nothing like he is when the cameras are on him, very humble and nice guy, the day a traveling man is world heavy weight champion of the world, and there every chance of the happening very soon, even emanuel steward has said so Edited March 5, 2015 by CushtyJook Quote Link to post Share on other sites
