Nah maybe at first but genuine hand to mouth poverty doesn’t go with the rearing of world class fighters conditioning is paramount would a lurcher perform if it was locked away and fed scraps twice a week and kicked every time it came out ? what level would it reach ? its bollocks mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, it's an inaccurate myth, Cus died before Tyson won the title, his deat if anything motivated him. Tyson was always prone to self destruct, that's on him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Billy b 826 Posted Monday at 05:14 Report Share Posted Monday at 05:14 I like Parker but I've no real interest in him vs Usyk tbh I'd rather see Usyk retire now, he hasn't really got anything left to prove Only name I'd really like to see him in with is Jai Opetaia maybe, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Billy b 826 Posted Monday at 09:57 Report Share Posted Monday at 09:57 Itauma is the the young gun coming up Usyk is 'in theory' the old head on his way out Even though he's still fit as a flea, ,I suppose the thinking is can Usyk do what many others fail to do and lay waste to the up and comer instead of losing i rate itauma but I don't like him anywhere near enough to beat Usyk 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
