Not a bunch of guys you’d want to pick a fight with……
I can positively identify great fighters like Mike Tyson, Manny Pacquiao, Prince Naseem Hamed, Larry Holmes, Oscar De la Hoya, Olexander Usyk, Riddick Bowe, Lennox Lewis, Frank Bruno…..
Any others ? (I’m 100% doing this without any captions so I know I’m missing at least a couple )
Conor McGregor is in the picture too.
-
Amir Khan, Frank Bruno next to him, Bakhodir Jalolov next to Riddick Bowe, Jared Anderson with the sunglasses at the back, that Khabib guy from the UFC next to De La Hoya(could be wrong) looks like Shannon Briggs and Roy Jones Jr in the local gear.

Yeah I think you’re correct there. I don’t follow UFC as much as I should to confirm the others though.
-
@MN5 That Khabib fella is the only other UFC fighter with McGregor there. A couple of current fighters there like Jalolov and Anderson who are 2 HW prospects (Jalolov won gold at Tokyo Olympics at Super heavyweight), and the rest are former world champs (some greater than others).

And the undefeated Joe Calzaghe

@MiketheSnow Apologies for not mentioning the pride of Wales sir!

Not sure but I think that is James Buster Douglas between Lewis and Holmes.
Crikey, not often you get two guys who’ve knocked out Mike Tyson in one pic. You’d argue Larry Holmes would have done it in his prime too.
-
@kiwiinmelb Yes it is too.

Hopefully we get to see him and bivol before it’s too late ,
That’s a great fight if they can get it made
-
@kiwiinmelb Don't know what the hold up is tbh. Typical boxing.
Bivol UD if they ever do fight.

I think bivols team were still exploring the option of some more canelo money
-
@kiwiinmelb Makes sense if they do as Canelo doesn't really have too many options these days. He could fight David Benavidez at 168 but doesn't seem keen on that, so 175 seems like the only place to go for him.
Would still rather Bivol v Beterbiev though, like every other boxing fan world would too.

Yeah that’s a better fight for the fans , 2 undefeated genuine light heavyweight’s,
canelo went a step too far at 175 imo . I think 168 is his limit . Hopefully this 3 fight deal includes benevidoz
Maybe he fights the winner of benevidoz v boo-boo
