I’ve been a fan for years, travelled to the states numerous times to watch fights in Vegas and New York. When you get people like Bob Arum and others saying it’s the best fight they have seen, that tells you a lot.

Re: Boxing
It was a classic fight.
I genuinely think Usyk has decent chance of beating Fury.

Re: Boxing
To be clear it was a very good fight
Just not the best ever, until the next one.
That's just how the world is now

Re: Boxing
Fury is ponderous but makes use of all his physical advantages and clinches to avoid fighting on the Inside so usyk would have his work cut out.sennafan24 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 10, 2021 5:13 pm It was a classic fight.

A physical specimen like wilder really should have been able to out work him and fight at a pace fury wasn't comfortable with.
Usyk would certainly be a lot busier

At heavy?HalloweenJack wrote: ↑Sun Oct 10, 2021 5:17 pmIt’s pretty hard to school someone when you haven’t come back with a counter argument
Randall has still yet to name the fights he thinks are better
Ali v Frazier
Marciano v Walcott
Dempsey v tunney
Holyfield v Bowe
Holyfield v cooper
At lower weights
Hagler v hearns
Hearns v leonard
Leonard v Duran
Chavez v taylor
Quiroga v akeem
Nunn v toney
Hagler v minter
For me fury v wilder was fought at a far lesser tempo than lots of other fights.
Not that it wasn't very good.

Re: Boxing
I can’t see it myself. Fury is too big and unlike AJ has a high boxing IQ he would use his size to his advantage. Fury and Usyk are my two favourite active boxers, but stylistically I think it would make for a poor fight.sennafan24 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 10, 2021 5:13 pm It was a classic fight.

As for Hweight, Ali v Frazier 3 and one you’ve missed was Foreman v Lyle ( if you haven’t seen it, watch it on YouTube.
I’m surprised you put Holyfield v Bert Cooper on the list tbh

Re: Boxing
In your opinion. I had forgotten Benn v McClelland, that is probably the most brutal fight I have witnessed. Benn took some severe punishment in that fight yet somehow won. The aftermath was terrible.

Which is remembered more for Hagler and his entourage being bottled after the match.
