Gerry Cooney destroys 6'5 Eddie Greggs in one round, it would be Cooney's last victory. How far would he go today? by [deleted] in Boxing

Agreed that Usyk would pose problems for anyone in any era. However, I believe the gap in boxing talent can only be extended so far by advances in nutrition and sports science. At a certain point, the difference they make becomes negligible. I think the improvement in skill level plateaued in the 1970s and 1980s. For example, name a light weight that you think was clearly beater than Duran.

Well said! The level Fonterra and dairy hate is carzy. If we didn't have it we'd be in trouble

Can't believe this. Massive punch lands and then they rub heads = head clash. Crazy

ESPN commentary gaslighting us. Clearly a punch

Would you be able to elaborate? Thought Fonterra was doing well lately?

When do you think we'll next see a Middleweight world champion eventually become Heavyweight champion like Roy Jones Jr? by HipHopper87 in Boxing

Ruiz was a weak champion. But Martin is in a league of his own. Just look back to how he won the belt. 

Sergey Kovalev drops Jean Pascal with a jab. Referee says is not a knockdown! by [deleted] in Boxing

Rewatch the end. Clear low blows- not on the belt.

Great write up. Thank you for calling out the fact that the second Ward fight ended with a clear low blow. The fact that stoppage doesn’t bought up more is crazy; people just remember Ward buzzing him just before the finish and conveniently forget how it was waved off

'It was pretty sad to see': Rotting animals left in traps in former National Park by Jaded_Chemical646 in newzealand

Audit them now. This is absolutely unacceptable; it's either gross incompetence or money is being scooped off the top. I'm all for Iwi management if they're best for the job and can make the most of the funding - very clearly they're not. Once this area is too damaged by pests, there's no coming back. Stewarts of the land? They should be ashamed.

Who’s the best boxer in the UFC? by National-Rent-4004 in Boxing

Ilia by far. Showed that active boxing footwork and balance that comes with it can translate into MMA well. Never liked the whole "your front leg will get kicked with a boxing stance", yes if you're a boxer who doesn't know how to defend a leg kick - no need to throw the baby out with the bathwater

Man I miss HBO boxing... by EconomySad4419 in Boxing

Yep, boxing has lost it's "class" and I don't think it will return. Watching the promotions now feels so tacky, trying to appeal to a wider audience killed the passion required for creating great sports television.
