One thing I definitely do know though, tyson fury is NOT the best Heavyweight in boxing history!! Lol There are a few fellas on here that know more, and are well up on it all, than me. When they post something, and it makes sense, I think about it, and take it in. I don't just repeat the rubbish I read, see or hear about a particular boxer, just for the sake of it, which some people, especially on here, keep doing re fury. and you’re getting crabby 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yarde really impressed, just the sheer resilience of Beterbiev and his class in finishing... I think the corner was maybe a little early in throwing the towel in as Yarde had looked in trouble a couple of times and came back well.. but they are ringside and can see far better than us arm chair pundits... Could be fight of the year already and we're not out of January! Lol 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol I agree with that and have never liked " close " relationships between a fighter and his corner....its not like Yarde has a lot of miles on the clock..... Ajayi and Yarde are close friends and a corner arrangement like that will always cause a fighter to be over protected........was Yarde likely to turn it around,no probably not......but he's a banger who can stand and have it as a last resort......how many times would fighters like Nigel Benn have been stopped if not allowed to rally back when in trouble. That said it was a good little scrap and Beterbiev will take some stopping......personally i think the biggest fights out there for Yarde are domestic fights with the likes of Buatsi,Smith etc........Yarde - Buatsi is a fight ive liked the look of for a long time.

Good comparison with Benn mate, and agreed that as a "banger" he would still fancy his chances even when he was hurt....its a tough call for the corner but I just didn't see him being in enough trouble for the towel to come in... Yarde is still youngish and I reckon this is one he'll really learn from, still some big fights for him... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Carl " the cat" Thompson could absorb punishment round after round and then knock out his opponent. He was hammered by David Haye relentlessly and then stopped him. He did the same against Rothman in South Africa. When he fought Johnny Nelson, the ref stopped the fight after Nelson had him on the ropes. It still drives Carl crazy to this day that the ref stopped in so early. Carl didn't get going until he had received a good pummelling. When it came to street hardness and the willingness to hang in there, even when you were semi conscious, CT had it in abundance. He trains a relation of mine now and you couldn't possibly meet a nicer man. But in the ring he took some beating. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jukel123 6,570 Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 We were debating " hardness" in boxers recently. Seems to me the top Russian and Ukrainian boxers have this in abundance now. Whereas, as somebody put it, many of our boxers are just "gym rats". I guess those ruskies and ukes don't have the same 'cushioning' they our lads are brought up with. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
