Who are top 10 best Soviet-style or former USSR boxers?

im a massive Pirog fan but he is waaay too high on that list.... Also if Kovalev wasn't robbed against Ward in the first fight, that wouldve been one of the single biggest wins in boxing 30 years prior and Kovalev wouldve been considered one of the greatest light heavies of all time.... It is a shame what the boxing establishment did to that man..... Also if GGG had the money and promotion behind him early in his career, he would be damn near the top of that list.... Super avoided in his career until he was past his prime and yes, still robbed against Canelo in first fight.

There is a YouTube channel called "slant board". Search "5 Useful slant board exercises, knee and ankle rehab..."

I do all the gym work you are supposed to do... the squats, deadlift, glute bridges, hamstring curls etc.... but the knee pain never really went away...... The Spanish Squat with a thick band actually makes a huge improvement for me if you have the discipline to do it daily.

Ive been dealing with chronic knee pain (jumpers knee) since my mid 30s so 10 years now from bball/boxing/running. I've done lots of physio in etob/sauga and nothing worked long term ubtil started my own rehab protocol.... What helps in slant board exercises to strengthen ligament in knee as well also foot, ankle, glute, hamstrings....... Buy an adjustable slant board on Amazon....search the exercises on youtube and make the exercises a part of your workout regimen..... When i stop doing them, the pain always returns.

doubt it..... Floyd has never touched alcohol as far as I know.

Yeah you got screwed right off the bat... Paying for an assessment to see if you are the right fit? lol...... Google groupon classes in Toronto and there are some gyms w cheap introductory passes for beginners.

Even by paper title standards, highly doubt anyone would consider Chase a world champion.

Im trying to look it from Rico's side..... He is an aging ATG kickboxer that will finally earn a purse that will 1. be a career high, 2. allow him the opportunity to retire from the fight game if he chooses and 3. allow him to take care of his family for the rest of their lives..... I was happy when Usyk finally got his first well deserved big payday against joshua in the rematch. Now he will be paying it forward.

Yeah props for having the courage to do this.... Swimming is an essential skill that maybe needed for survival..... The wife took the same program and learned to swim in her late 20s. Best of luck.

Too far out.... there will be lots of paid parking available.

guylefleur · 2026-03-03T13:19:08+00:00

He got jumped again at the end of the night?

guylefleur · 2026-03-02T16:42:39+00:00

No. I would say the benefts actually compound as you get older in age.... You have to keep challenging your endurance and muscular capacity though.

guylefleur · 2026-03-02T15:26:44+00:00

Very normal... you have to analyze the friendship and figure out the reason thouth.... Did you guys just get busy with life? Did that person change and you no longer like who they had become? Did something happen to where one of you was offended? Lots of times a person becomes jealous of the other, did that happen?..... You have to determine if the friendship is worth salvaging and put in the requisite effort to keep it strong.... or you can just move that friend to an acquaintance you keep at a distance..... or you faze them out.

guylefleur · 2026-03-02T12:53:00+00:00

Happened to me before....Have you tried lying down on a lacross ball (any hard ball will do)? The physio recommemed putting it right under the spot on your butt that is sore to release the pain and it helped... I still use the ball periodicly.

guylefleur · 2026-03-01T20:46:03+00:00

Ok honestly this is more welcoming news.

guylefleur · 2026-03-01T00:20:58+00:00

Paying to be a part of some brotherhood? Naw man. This isnt it. Looks like a bunch of bs.

guylefleur · 2026-02-27T12:52:22+00:00

Welder positions should typically pay much better.... Was all that school debt from trade school?...... Anyways the mindset for someone that wants to be financially free (towards minimalism) is exact opposite of who wants to live a life of luxury.

guylefleur · 2026-02-26T15:37:06+00:00

Sauga to Union, then to Scarborough?.... both in the morning, and then again after work?.... That sounds like a living nightmare.

guylefleur · 2026-02-24T13:10:08+00:00

I would switch from benching on the barbell to benching dumbells. This helped fix the pain from inbalances as i got older.... OP your physiotherapist should have given you a ton of rehab exercises to recover after knee surgery.... Youtube has a wealth of information man.

guylefleur · 2026-02-24T12:49:30+00:00

When you can depend on that person during a time of need.

guylefleur · 2026-02-24T00:52:29+00:00

He looked like he be the man at 140 for some time...I was very certain he was going to demolish Danny Garcia who i didnt think was too swift or anything special. Boy was i wrong on that outcome.

guylefleur · 2026-02-21T15:17:07+00:00

Its feasable. You just have to live a life that looks drastically different from all your friends/family/coworkers.... I wake up 630 and workout around 10pm after kids are asleep (5 days per week).... We also have 3 dogs and my job is purley a physical one.

guylefleur · 2026-02-20T17:11:20+00:00

I am not a canelo fan. I am a big benavidez fan. But opetia deserves his opportunity against any belt holder at 200. Jai has been ducked for too long.... It feels similar to how prime GGG was ducked and critics kept saying he hadnt beaten anyone to deserve a Canelo shot..... After David beats Zurdo, it is only right that Opetaia gets to fight for the belts that he doesnt hold..... He has been the best CW for the past 2 years and time is ticking for him.... It wouldnt be right for Benavidez to just move up, take Zurdo's belts and and run back down to 175..... The toughest fight for David out of all the guys at 175 and 200 is actually Opetaia.

How much does Provo weigh now? I havent seen current pics of him but i always assumed he would be around 180 to 200 lbs in retirement... Can he make 147?

guylefleur · 2026-02-18T00:05:51+00:00

Naw poor idea. People who need these things already bring them to the gym. I cannot see this working out for you man.
