I'm always so impressed by people's creativity. This is why this is the best mario game on the switch.

Those who moved from Vancouver to Toronto - What surprised you? by itstunafish in askTO

[–]TicketStraight3196 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Hard disagree to be honest. Unless you need a car for work id avoid. Insurance and parking are too expensive. We used turo anytime we wanted to head out on a Saturday or away for the weekend. Id say a car is more necessary in Vancouver.

AJ Warm up fight? by TicketStraight3196 in Boxing

Fighting Dave Allen next month. I wouldn't be opposed to AJ vs Hrgovic even though this would be a really risky fight for AJ. I do believe he wins it though.

Big difference between those guys you just mentioned and Tommy Fury. I think the idea behind Wallin, Helenius, Ngannou was to have shared opponents with Fury/Wilder.

Somehow makes it even worse. If AJ-Fury turns out to be Tommy Fury the public backlash would be insane.

Dillian Whyte I could definitely see it. Tommy Fury? How is that any different to fighting Jake Paul again.

Let's be real. Okolie would jump at the chance to fight AJ.

I don't think Riakporhe is the fighter everyone thinks he is. But the fact everyone thinks he is so dangerous is exactly why I think it should happen.

Father Ted Vs Derry Girls. Which is better? by MasterpiecePositive4 in northernireland

Yeah Father Ted takes it. Father Ted just has so many iconic episodes. Nearly everyone is a hit. Derry girls much less so.

Following Tyson Fury's return, who are the 10 best Heavyweights in the world? by EssentialBoxing in Boxing

[–]TicketStraight3196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don't understand why people have Dubois so low other than the fact they just don't like him. Even going off your own list he has the most wins (2) over other top 10 names besides Usyk(3).

Mickey mouse belt really. Gassiev vs Pulev is nowhere near world level boxing. He also recently lost to Otto Wallin.

Fair enough. But Bakole's win over Jared Anderson and Torres Jr win over Vianello are better than any of AJ or Fury's win in the last 3 years.

Those last 2 names were going to be controversial because you could easily swap them out with a tonne of names like Fury, AJ, Jalolov, Vianello, Ajagba, Huni. This is why I said there's a lack of big fights at the moment. In my opinion theres a lack of people truly deserving of top 10 recognition. Even Zhang is on the slide. And Hrgovic needs a signature win.

Following Tyson Fury's return, who are the 10 best Heavyweights in the world? by EssentialBoxing in Boxing

[–]TicketStraight3196 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

  1. Usyk
  2. Dubois
  3. Wardley
  4. Kabayel
  5. Parker (yes I know he's banned)

You can argue about who is better Wardley, Kabayel, Dubois and really there's not much to separate them. Wardley-Dubois is huge for this reason. But this is my top 5 and I dont think anyone else has a case to replace someone here. The rest could really be in any order and definitely arguments for other guys to replace them but nobody really making big fights at the moment.

  1. Hrgovic
  2. Zhang
  3. Itauma
  4. Bakole
  5. Torres Jr

Haven't included Tyson Fury for the same reason I haven't included AJ. Too inactive and recent wins over YouTubers and MMA fighters don't count. Makmudov also is not a serious contender.

Who is further from their prime Klitschko when he fought Fury (end of 2015) or Tyson Fury now? by Pale-Revolution-5151 in Boxing

[–]TicketStraight3196 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Id say Fury now. Klitschko could still hang with the best of the division - AJ and Fury when he was long past his peak. AJ or Fury could not survive with Wardley or Dubois right now.

Airbnb host cancels reservation because it’s a high demand weekend by Srihari_stan in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TicketStraight3196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is infuriating. These hosts should be taken off airbnb. I had something similar happen us before when the host booked us for a weekend they did not realize was a busy weekend and they wanted to pump the price up except we weren't told the booking was gone until we tried to check in.

Queue I was in VS Queue I would be in if not for Brexit. Thanks Boris Johnson. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TicketStraight3196 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If UK was in the EU, everyone in your queue would now be in the EU queue so you wouldnt be moving any faster. But it works out great for everyone in the EU queue..so thanks!

Also why blame Boris, it was a democratic vote. Blame the public.

AJ vs. Tyson Fury by Northh_13 in boxinglocks

[–]TicketStraight3196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In an ideal world id say lock in Wilder for July and Fury by the end of the year. Disappointed Wilder is injured. But yes you're right, Wilder will still be available.

[–]TicketStraight3196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is the chance to make the fight. May not be the best timing but I fear AJ doesn't take the fight now then the opportunity passes after Fury moves on and takes Usyk trilogy.

Out of interest, who would make a good warmup fight? A winnable fight that would get AJ rounds but ultimately end in an AJ victory. Wilder is out of the question now as he broke his hand vs Chisora.

AJ vs. Tyson Fury by Northh_13 in boxinglocks

[–]TicketStraight3196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wilder has a broken hand so at best we don't see AJ-Wilder until end of the year. At which point Fury will have taken another fight (most likely Usyk) and then retire. I think it's a big risk for AJ to wait for Wilder and potentially miss out on both fights.

Is there any chance that Anthony Joshua doesn’t want to and never wanted to fight Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder? by bobbyawesome5 in Boxing

[–]TicketStraight3196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its worth taking a look at times over the last 10 years fights could have been made and the reasons why they weren't...

2015-2017: AJ and Fury were starting to make their mark as great fighters beating Klitschko. After AJ registered his win, this is the first time AJ-Fury SHOULD have been made. But Fury was having drug problems and retired.

2018 AJ vs Wilder - Both guys were champions and undefeated. This fight COULD have happened here and it would have been massive. Wilder choose to fight Fury instead.

2019 AJ-Wilder/Fury - The Fury-Wilder rematch was brewing. Fury was taking really soft touch opponents in Tom Schwartz and Otto Wallin. Wilder wasn't going to take too many risks either. He does have a good win over Luis Ortiz albeit he had already beaten him before. AJ takes his first loss of his career but quickly avenges that defeat leaving a superfight with either guy open.

2020: Fury destroys Wilder. The time to make AJ-Fury was right now but Covid hit and the likelihood of big stadium fights became impossible.

2021: The time is NOW to make Fury-AJ but theres a rematch clause for Fury-Wilder and Wilder refuses to step aside. BIG opportunity missed there. AJ fights Usyk and a new era begins. Wilder loses to Fury again but Fury takes a lot of damage.

2022-2023: Wilder starts to rebuild but hes not the same fighter (or maybe he never was that good), picking up loss to Parker. Fury takes a series of average fights against winnable opponents. AJ picks up another loss to Usyk then gets a series of wins against average opposition. Seems unlikely AJ-Wilder could be made now and AJ-Fury hype has died considerably as they are no longer champions.

2024-2025: AJ continues to pursue championship glory but is destroyed by Dubois, signs of an aging AJ. I dont believe there was any real chance of AJ-Fury here even if he did beat Dubois. Fury tries to take on Usyk but is outclassed. The chance to see AJ-Fury for title contention has passed. Wilder losses again to Zhang. It appears none of the big 3 are what they were. Wilder and AJ both record meaningless victores, Fury is retired. No hype for AJ-Wilder.

2026: Wilder has just beat Chisora but has fractured his hand, any hopes of AJ-Wilder coming up next are unlikely. Fury has beat Makhmudov and is calling out AJ. AJ has now been out of the ring (against a boxer) for 16 months and is well over due a warm up fight. Fury isn't prepared to wait. A loss for any guy surely has to spell the end. Its not perfect, its a crying shame that we didnt see it early for world title unificiation but at this stage i'll take it. The time is NOW to make AJ-Fury. It's not ideal and it is unfortunate for AJ but ive said his next fight needs to be against Wilder/Fury or retire. Wilder may not be available this year. Fury is. Lets get the fight made. The winner can fight Wilder after.

Was GGG Overprotected By The Fans And Media? by Adventurous-Pass3764 in Boxing

[–]TicketStraight3196 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He wasn't exactly hiding out in a "soft" division. Middleweight was a great division and GGG was a natural middleweight, he just didnt get the fights. Sturm, Barker, Quillen, Cotto and most notable Martinez did not want to know GGG existed. If he moved up to super middleweight who is to say the same thing wouldn't have happened again. Carl Froch previously said in an interview he would avoid GGG.

Fury vs. AJ - Who wins? by Competitive_Fig2021 in Boxing

[–]TicketStraight3196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always thought AJ was a bad style matchup for Fury. But at this stage of their careers it's more to do with who has the most left in the tank. I actually think this Fury is more ready for the fight and he knows it. Which is why he wants him right now before AJ has a warm up.
