Was kinda tempted by all the hype to purchase this, quite glad I didn't as by the sounds of it it was exactly the type of boxing match I can't stand.

I couldn't be bothered with it live. It was years too late and 100% predictable. I'm not sure that it would have been much different 5 or 6 years ago but there would have at least been a bit of tension and possible doubt about the outcome.

GGG would smash mayweather imo
Little question about that. If they fought, the agreed -to weight would be all important. Floyd's only real chance would be GGG being starved to the point the weight drain affects his performance.

Not sure why Gennady is even in the conversation. He's a middleweight, usually a super middleweight. Floyd's a welterweight.

Klitscko would kill Gennady. So what?

floyd has fought at middleweight several times? de la hoya, alvarez and cotto are all middleweights

a catch weight could easily be met and golovkin has said he would happily go down to fight floyd but the chances of mayweather agreeing to it are pretty much zero

Floyd's natural weight is 67. He fought De La Hoya, Alvarez and Cotto at 70. Gennady fights at 72.5.

Gennady needs to fight someone like Andre Ward. I'd love to see that fight.

Ward needs to man up and fight Kovalev at LHW, he's fighting Smith over the SMW limit (joke of a fight) so hopefully he'll move up.

Triple G should wait for Canelo to move up and fight Lara in the meantime.

Well Wilder won but looked dreadful

Based on this performance, his management needs to keep him away from anyone with a pulse

BTW, the guy he beat was ranked #44 in the world and a full-time school teacher

Interesting (well vaguely) to see Joe Calzaghe rubbishing Carl Froch again. Not that I don't agree with him. One imposter rubbishing another. Funny to hear Calzaghe saying that the then 42 year old Bernard Hopkins was the best pound for pound fighter in the world when he beat him.

Lots of rewriting history attempts where Joe is concerned

Says it all that he was floored by both Hopkins and a completely shot RJJ

Both would've eaten him alive in their prime and I also seriously doubt that he would've entered the a Super 6 tourney of the type dominated by Ward

Watched a Soliman fight today and it was the most blatant robbery I have seen in years

He was fighting a Haymon stable guy and literally won 9/10 rounds but lost via SD to a "prospect" who is now the mandatory challenger for a world title

Sam is not the most talented and has an ugly style that doesn't sell well but that **** shouldn't happen

No wonder boxing gets a bad name

Another win for Mayweather. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Did anyone see the Groves fight? He lost a split decision but thinks he won "decisively". As he still thinks he won the second Froch fight that's not much to go by.

I believe that the Olympic-style Boxing is far better than the so-called "professional Boxing" of WBA, WBC, etc.
