Bellow must have had money on the stoppage in that one for all he was going on about the corner should be pulling him out. He lost but it wasn't a one sided beat down or anything.

I listened to the Knuckles and Gloves and Tha Boxing Voice from after the GGG vs Jacobs fights just because I knew I'd be able to at least have some context on what they were talking about. Really liked the Knuckles and Gloves one. Didn't finish Tha Boxing Voice one but Jesus those guys are insane.

Lemieux is going to be on the Canelo-Chavez undercard. It's pretty obvious where this is going. http://www.badlefthook.com/2017/3/27/15076644/canelo-vs-chavez-david-lemieux-joseph-diaz-jr-added-to-undercard The Ninth Layer posted:I've already heard the rumors that he's next for Canelo. Which if that's the case then just lol. Golden Boy is squandering all the goodwill Canelo built up. I'm assuming they're operating under the assumption that the GGG-BJS June fight in Astana (Kazahstan) happens and when it does Oscar and company will have the pre-built excuse and opponent when Canelo-Lemieux is signed for September. At least JoJo Diaz is being put in relatively tough The SituAsian fucked around with this message at 23:00 on Mar 27, 2017 |

The Ring magazine released their all time heavyweight list in the latest issue: 1. Muhammad Ali 2. Joe Louis 3. Jack Johnson 4. Rocky Marciano 5. Larry Holmes 6. Jack Dempsey 7. George Foreman 8. Joe Frazier 9. Mike Tyson 10. Sonny Liston T11. Lennox Lewis T11. Evander Holyfield 13. Gene Tunney 14. John L Sullivan 15. Jim Jeffries 16. Wladimir Klitschko 17. Vitali Klitscko 18. James Corbett 19. Riddick Bowe 20. Bob Fitzsimmons Pretty ridiculous list in my opinion, that pretty much totally starts to fall apart after the top 7. Having Mike Tyson over Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis is indefensible, and having Lewis outside of the top 10, who was the dominant heavyweight of the 1990s (one of the strongest eras in the heavyweigh division) is also totally insane. Liston is way too high, having the dominant Klitschkos barely above flash in the pan Riddick Bowe is nuts, etc etc.

I always struggle to appreciate the inclusion of John L Sullivan; without video it's just so hard to judge his skill. I consider Jack Johnson right at the very first era of who could be counted, and that's also leveraging his ranking in the top 3 of all time (and honestly I think Johnson should probably be above Louis; after all it's not like they put in Gentle Jim Corbett or whatever (Ok so they have Jim Jefferies). Funniest thing about this list is how small older heavy weights are; as the weight class with no ceiling it's the one that just goes up and up, like how we have to keep changing what an IQ of 100 is.

Jack B Nimble posted:after all it's not like they put in Gentle Jim Corbett They did though Yeah the idolization of the older heavyweights, especially guys like Sullivan where you have no footage and no real comparable accomplishments either. I'm one of those guys that sort of buys into "Prime Tyson" and fringe top 10 seems alright, but factoring results in I agree that putting him above Lewis is silly. Holyfield I'm not sold on though. Liston is tricky to rank, but 10 is inflated. Archie Moore, Floyd Patterson and Sam Langford are all names that should be considered for this, although two of those guys are obviously pretty small by today's standards.

No sport is as in love with it's own history as boxing. Would anyone put George Mikan in the top 10 basketball players of all time? I'd back Lennox Lewis against any heavyweight head to head.

personally i really buy into 'prime mike'. his ferocity, the way he moved, how hard he hit.... i've never seen a heavyweight like him. lennox was incredible though. and crucify me if you want, but ali is top 5 as a fighter. as a man, as a person, that's something different, but as a fighter, there's a few i'd rank above him.

Was browsing YouTube earlier and an official HQ upload of Canelo vs Khan popped up. (Unable to say if this is geolocked anywhere, isn't in England) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPtux9fl_mg roughly 25:00 for the kill shot. Still a beauty. e: I'm pretty sure that if you asked Sky Sports or the BBC for a all time top 10 heavyweight list, it'd take all their strength to not put Anthony Joshua on it at the moment. e2: noticed my time suggestion is after the punch.

She's definitely going to get hired by irish tv when she retires, and it will be terrible. Did anyone in this thread watch Michael Conlans pro debut versus Tim Ibarra? It seemed like a can crush. Ibarra doesn't have a wiki so I guess it was? Actually Taylor is on the undercard for Joshua Klitschko, good for her, shes fighting alot now.

A large influx of money came in on a bet for Conlan to finish the other guy in the third round on his debut. Like more than rounds one or two, which normally be the biggest picks for a debuting prospect. On the third round he went hard for a stoppage and got it. In the Olympics Conlan made bets on fighters in his division, including betting on himself to lose. E: not mislead though, he didn't bet on himself to lose to the guy he actually lost to.

Team Sauerland has announced a press conference for tomorrow and according to the danish press they'll be announcing the return to the ring of Mikkel Kessler. Supposedly he will be given a wildcard for the World Boxing Super Series (whatever that is) this summer.

So that's really happening? It's supposed to be two 8 man single elimination tournaments that Richard schafer is running. I guess one of them will be at 168? It's expected that one of them will be at 154

Yeah ok, I guess I completely missed this. MTG are the owners of Viasat (they own pretty much all the sports rights worth owning) in Scandinavia so I'm pretty sure this is actually going to happen. quote:Comosa AG are pleased to announce the launch of the World Boxing Super Series, a revolutionary bracket-style elimination tournament featuring the world`s best boxers and a total of $50 million in prize money. The winner will receive the GREATEST prize in boxing – the Muhammad Ali Trophy.

Every time someone tries this it never actually goes to plan. At least one guy will drop out, injuries will delay another two fights, the the winner of the trophy no one has heard of will be an alternate who wasn't even in the thing to start with.

The Super Six produced Andre Ward so I think that went ok. That this is a single elimination tourney bodes much better.

The Super Six had some good fights but also included 8 fighters, had two scheduled fights that never occurred, had three fighters drop out, had two fights that occurred outside of the event, and the semifinals included a fighter who was 1-2 in the tournament and a replacement. Also the Kessler/Ward and Abraham/Dirrell fights both had controversial and unsatisfying endings.

If there's really 50 million dollars in prize money every year then maybe the tournament actually does happen, though. That's a ton of money even for sixteen fighters to split.

It really speaks to how screwed up matchmaking has become that the super six ,for all its flaws, was of the best things to happen to boxing in a really long time. Speaking of good (or bad) matchmaking Luis Ortiz signed with Al Haymon. Hopefully now we see him more than once a year http://www.badlefthook.com/2017/3/30/15128920/luis-ortiz-to-face-derric-rossy-on-april-22nd
