As you said, chin up and hands down…. He deserved what he got. I think he was overrated and made way more money than he deserved from a skill point of view. A good athlete no doubt but not a good champion. His success is owed more to a lack of real prospects in the heavyweight division than his skill. He achieved more than Frank Bruno with the same chin.

Anyone watch the Usyk/Fury bout? Thought it was closer than first one but Usyk done enough to win. Fury salty ever, deserved that final humbling.

Looking forward to Eubank v Benn. I watched their dads fights and haven’t  been this excited to watch a fight for a long time. I love the middleweight’s combination of speed and power. The edge between them makes this fight more juicy and It’s a smaller ring so expect fireworks. Generally speaking I always feel a good big fighter will beat a good smaller fighter, this fight is tough to call considering all the weight Eubank had to shed, he’ll feel that in the later rounds if it goes that far.

Still I’ll say Eubank wins this fight.

Usyk done the business again, time to retire and leave a unscathed legacy, his a class above the rest.

I think the last ten years has shown a a real lack of talent in the heavyweight division and Usyk is the best of the lot. Would he be able to beat Tyson, Lewis, Holyfield in their prime? Boxing has become a joke with extended ring walks and mandatory rematches.

Yup quality is definitely not as strong as it has been in previous eras. Usyk though is a different class, his boxing IQ is off the chart that is why he beat the current "so called best" twice.

Good win from Moses the lad looks promising. Convincingly despatched Franklin.
