Originally posted by kennybrowns leftfoot I think Fury and his side have known this all along... They wanted to see what sort of offer Hearn could come up with and build a bit of publicity for Fury v Wilder because let's face it, it's just going to be a repeat of the second fight. Starting to really go off Fury if I'm honest... He talks a hell of alot of crap. I used to dislike fury. Then he had his mental health comeback and I read his book, was humble and really likeable. Last few months he’s been heading back to becoming a ‘prck’ again. I think that all people end up ‘returning to type’ in the end. I know he battered Wilder last time and the chances are he will again. But with Usyk and Wilder in the way of Fury/Aj, I wouldn’t be surprised if one of them lost and it fcos up the big fight.

Logan Paul v Mayweather this Sunday. Good grief. Paul coming in 30 pounds heavier. Mayweather has the ability to finish this at any time he wants. Freak show but seems to be the direction boxing is heading. "It feels much better than it ever did, much more sensitive." John Wayne Bobbit

I'm perhaps a little more hopeful that long term these freakshows will eventually fizzle out because any genuinely talented athlete will always wipe the floor with a Youtube 'influencer'.

Arias v Hurd fight. How the fcuk was that a split decision. Hurd even has the front to think he won. Some of this judging is crazy.

Mayweather can't have been happy with that. Crazy money aside, he watered down his legacy and failed to take out a youtuber. Started looking genuinely depressed about 6 rounds in. Money isn't everything. Edited by BlueJay (07 Jun 2021 4.49am)

As you say BlueJay, more of this will start to affect Mayweathers legacy. I wasn't that surprised it went the distance. The guy's at his physical peak, 6.2 and two and a half stone heavier. Mayweather is 44 and hasn't carried power in his fragile fists since before Hatton. All Paul needed was a reasonable chin. Mayweather dominated the punch stats and they both made a lot of money. As an exhibition fight it doesn't appear on his record. Personally I just few it as fun. Edited by Stirlingsays (07 Jun 2021 9.41am) 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith.

It was a financial win for both, but realistically it was a boxing win only for Paul on account that he'd only had one previous fight and lost that, and now lasted 8 rounds against one of the best boxers in history. Easy money no doubt, but hopefully this kind of thing will eventually burn itself out. When freak shows earn far more money than warriors going to war its unfortunate.

Kirkland (The gifted one) Laing passed away today. Incredibly skilled fighter who held a win over Duran. Quite the character. I remember the BBC using subtitles to interview him once as his accent was so strong. Had he committed himself more he could have been a great. People often use the term ‘best British boxer never to win a world title’ well he, asLong with Graham, may have been it. "It feels much better than it ever did, much more sensitive."
