Fury invites Wilder over to his Florida home with rival considering retirement
TYSON FURY has invited Deontay Wilder to his ‘huge’ Florida home with his old rival’s future up in the air. It comes after the Bronze Bomber revealed he is contemplating retiremen…
Interesting article and how it mentions the trilogy may have taken years off their lives. I’m a huge fan of both fighters and what they’ve brought to the sport.
Ali had trilogies with Frazier and Norton and they died at 74, 67 and 70 respectively.
As for Fury and Wilder I can imagine them actually getting on brilliantly under all the bullshit and bravado. They need to watch more TV though, FOURTEEN kids between them !!!!!!

I didn’t em see either events but sounds like the aus boxing events that’s as on over the last two nights was an embarrassment. I’ve only seen “highlights” on Gallens fight which was last night
i don't know why these idiots keep getting in the ring with Gallen. He can actually fight, he gets better every fight, and these novices get in and get their clock cleaned. Does it pay them that well?

He took it to Gallen very early on in the fight though. Definitely not a novice.

@mikethesnow I take it you're talking about the Taylor v Catterall farce? Couldn't believe what I was seeing after Taylor got the nod and felt awful for Catterall afterwards. Bob Arum paying off the judges.

Yep, highlights above
Absolute disgrace

@mikethesnow Just watched that video. Disgraceful. Boxing is a joke of a sport.

All this talk makes me want to look back on when the sport was awesome.
How the fuck Holmes a) got up from this ( one of the most amazing one punch knock downs I’ve ever seen ) and b) WON the fight by KO is anyone’s guess !!!!
Fuck he was a hell of a fighter.

Entertainingif pointless what if Tyson had fought in the golden age of 60-70's.

I love shit like this……how do I read parts two and three ?
I notice Tyson managed to avoid Cleveland Williams ( which I think would have gone either way ) and Sonny Liston ( who I’m 100% positive would destroy Tyson ) in this mythical march to the title……
For what it’s worth and from what I’ve read I think Foreman, Frazier, Ali and a very young Larry Holmes would beat Tyson ( forget the fact they actually did fight, Holmes was washed up, fat, untrained and old by then )
Others like Ken Norton, Earnie Shavers and Ron Lyle would fancy their chances as well. I can’t wait til @raznomore sees this thread.

Brilliant.
Yeah hard to argue with much of that to be honest ( remember by 1972 Cleveland Williams had been shot by the cops yet still came back as a fighter, even stepping in the ring was an achievement by that stage )
My heart says Norton would be a bigger challenge but then he was vulnerable to big punchers which Tyson certainly was.
Loads of people who fought him say that Shavers was the biggest puncher but he had weaknesses as a fighter too.
To me no sport is full of “what if’s?” From other eras like boxing is.
