slow clumsy basketball player giants boxing


What happened to the heavy weight champ title.

Mohamed Ali, Joe Frazer, Mike Tyson.

Now it's Frankenstein monsters who can do a bit of blocking ad throw haymakers.

Like when Ali described George Foremans boxing, lurching around the ring with his arms out.

May as well resurrect Andre the giant, or put Shak in the ring. Basketball level freaks of nature, the biggest giant wins. Goes on to fight bums for a while, then biggest giant becomes too old and drunk. Waiting to get put down on half a knee by the next basketball sized player lurching forward and take the throne.

Tyson, and Ali were fast. It was exiting. People got knocked out within a few rounds. And if it lasted it was a game of chess until the last bell.

This is a game of Jenga, blindly haymakering around until the Jenga blocks fall. The non-human giant sized creature waits and has more focus on social media presence than actual boxing until the next comes along and gases a boring fight because the old giant became old and complacent.

The last few title fights have been haymakers, blocking haymakers, and lurching. Not that much boxing.

I wouldn't want to mess with him.

Although he might want to drop some weight - just cause a guy is shorter than you doesn't mean you'll always win.

Tyson and Ali weren't fast when they had great opponents, come on! Ali v Frazier went ALL the rounds in ALL 3 bouts = not fast. Plenty of other examples with Ali with good opponents just look at the records. Tyson destroyed people in his early years, yes. It's arguable the biggest fights of his entire career were the 2 fights against Holyfield and he lost both. One to a TKO and the other to well ear biting lol. And you are entirely discrediting how good Lennox Lewis was. The guy was great for his era which nobody cares about because its when boxing was majorly on the decline.

Usyk and Fury was not a great fight imo, It seemed like both fighters were holding back and I'm looking forward to the rematch or 3peat. The fights with Fury v Wilder were incredible. The last especially, both guys going full tilt every round was incredible. Those fights were great and reminded me of Ali v Frasier. Not saying they were as intense or "better", just nonstop beating every round.

Overall thought the card tonight was worth the money with all the knockouts.
