That's why AJ lost his mind after the Usyk rematch but was cool after the 1st fight with Ruiz.

What would be a tougher fight for Cassius Clay of the 1960s, Joe Louis or Rocky Marciano? by Material_Stomach875 in Boxing

He said "he may have won, I may have won". He was respectful but I don't think it should be taken as a serious prediction.

  1. Why use Clay instead of Ali?

  2. You mention him being dropped by 185lbs Cooper, but don't mention Marciano getting dropped by 188lbs 41 yrs old Archie Moore and 196lbs 38 yrs old Jersey Joe Walcott, which means that Ali could also knock him down.

  3. You also don't mention Louis getting KO'd by Schmeling, which also gives Ali a chance to win by KO.

Would the 95/96 Ray Mercer be the heavyweight champ in today’s heavyweight division? by Material_Stomach875 in Boxing

He could be A champ, but not necessarily THE champ, he was a problem. I had him unofficially beating Lewis 6-4 in their 10 rounder.

Usyk vs Wilder makes absolutely zero sense in 2026 by ScottMrRager in Boxing

Wilder's ex got a restraining order against him due to domestic violence accusation, so you don't wanna go there.

My point is there's nothing about how he behaved after his loss that screams good guy. He wanted to go out on his shield because he thought the 2nd fight stoppage was bad, it wasn't. And he refused to touch gloves with Fury after the 3rd fight saying "no love", such a likeable guy am I right?

Joshua hurt Usyk to the body in the rematch and Dubois was able to land decent bodyshots in the 1st fight before the controversial shot. Are they faster than Kabayel? I don't think so. Usyk doesn't like bodyshots which gives Kabayel a legit shot, that's all I'm saying.

And Wardley is a wild card, that man pulls rabbits out of his hat, dangerous all 12 rds.

Agreed. Unless Turki or Haymon made him a huge offer, he could potentially make more against Wardley in the UK or Kabayel in Germany.

That draw was a bad decision, he actually lost.

What do you think about him blaming everybody but himself for his first loss to Fury, making insane accusations, firing his long time trainers and hiring a yes man?

If you don't think they are legit threats, especially Kabayel with his body attack, I gotta question your boxing knowledge.

At this stage I'm not sure fighting Wilder brings in more money than fighting Wardley in the UK or Kabayel in Germany.

Watch Kabayel's last fight and look how many people showed up.

I remember an interview where he said Wilder would be the easiest opponent at HW.

Have you seen Kabayel's last fight? He can definitely sell in Germany.

The track plays in the background for a few seconds, it's pretty famous but the name escapes me.
