Yeah out of Joshua, Wilder and fury I'd give usyk the best chance against Joshua. Though he should be a solid underdog in all of them.

I wouldn't rule out anyone who can actually move and punch against any of this crop of heavyweights, except for huge height disparities. None of these big guys have showed great chin or ability to withstand sustained, well target assault. I don't know if Usyk is the one to do it, but I think the possibilities are way open.

There are early, yet vague reports that Stevenson has woken up from coma, but the right side of his body is paralyzed. His family has been quiet still while the situation becomes more clear, but I would expect a more official update in the coming day.

if you are either unable or unwilling to articulate your thoughts on boxing and intend to spend your time here simply being a tedious contrarian can you please just go away?

To watch fights? YouTube and daily motion have a bunch. To get a grip on who's who I'd suggest just trawling the top 10 lists at boxrec.com, the most complete record of professional boxing there is.

There's a good site called AllTheBestFights.com that posts new fights as they happen and even gives a star rating for if it's really worth your time to watch. They gave Wilder Fury 4 stars lol but generally anything 3 or above is worth watching.

I'd say watch full fights instead of highlights and clip reels, boxing is very much about what happens in between the exciting bits as much as the action itself.

Anything in particular you want to know more about?

I've never seen anyone troll the Boxing subforum thread before.

The very last super-relevant fight of 2018 happens this Saturday in Whyte/Chisora. I hope Chisora wins to spoil the potential Joshua/Whyte rematch planned for April.

No, others’ sexuality is nobodies business.

Khan really is a scumbag. I expect an apology but his career has been riddled with questionable statements, not to mention questionable strategic decisions inside the ring. Ultimately he’s just not a smart person. I look forward to seeing him get knocked out, whoever he fights next.

Khan is a dick head day to day as well, very few people have ever had a nice time with him. I think a lot of girls have abusive text messages from him when they have dared turn him down, and the fan interaction stories are horrific. He is also running out of money quite quickly apparently so needs to make money fast to keep up with a lifestyle that has over taken him apparently.
