Wladimir Klitschko V David Haye Fight Set

[red g]

Tyson was arguably the greatest after Cassius Clay. Clay was majestic and possibly no one will ever emulate him. He could patrol that ring and his opponents were left punching shadows.

If Cus D'Amoto did not die maybe he could have been the greatest of all time. But Tyson only had 5 years at the top of his game and not sure if you mean just heavyweights but there have been some top fighters over the years and not sure you would put tyson n front f them

[Qantaga]

The likes of Calzaghe, Mayweather, Hatton and Pacquiao have been my favourites - not watched a decent fight since either of those fought.

[CJ]

shall we engage in a pointless debate comparing one era to another?

Clay would span any era, I can tell you. 'Kin magnificent he was. If you look at the modern day heavyweights, they can't really move as well on a ring. Clay was big as well and he could pack a punch.

that was a yes then

Calzaghe was genuinely fun to watch. My favourite ever I think.

[red g]

Benn has been my favourite boxer from growing up i think. It was truly an honour to sell him some E's when he was in Greece

[Qantaga]

Same, only because I'm fairly young and he's the boxer I've grown up watching.

I meant heavyweights. Actually, Alli's style was not of a typical heavyweight, that was what I was referring to.

[Mr Darko]

So what happened? I just got in from work. I'm guessing Wladimir took it to points?

Yeah Wlad won (deservedly) by UD - judges put Wlad ahead by 6, 8, 10 points.

Don't get why they're (McGuigan, Booth etc) that ****ed off with the ref - fair enough Wlad pushed Haye down a couple of times but Haye did milk several of them too - nothing gets mentioned by the 6 (just what I counted) hard shots at the back of Wlad's head that went unpunished.

Very glad Wlad won - he's a decent guy, very respectful, does a lot for charity, after watching all his interviews it's hard not to like the man! couldn't give a flying **** he fights in a boring manner...I'd rather Liverpool won all (or even just the majority) their matches in a **** and boring 1-0 game than for them to win fewer, lose more, but destroy teams 5 or 6-0.

Haye was toe-tally outclassed

frazier, foreman, norton, ali truly a golden age for the heavy weights some of the old fights were brutal

[Daniel 7]

The Benn / Eubank / Watson era in middleweight / super middleweight was genuinely exciting. Especially towards the back end when Collins and Calzaghe got involved.

Been the best part of a decade since heavyweight boxing was worth watching.

Cheers.

Yeah I agree - I don't like Haye as a professional at all, I think he's a cock, his trash talking is way over the top and just not welcome in a Sport that is under enough scrutiny as it is and he makes Boxing look bad.

It was a little WWE wasn't it?

i watched some great fights from that era.

[Pablo]

Lennox and Holyfield were the last of the great heavyweights IMO.

This fight was beyond pathetic

Broken toe 3 WEEKS AGO. Seriously?

The size and weight told massively. Haye is simply not a heavyweight. Retire or back to Cruiserweight fella

[Daniel 7]

None better than the unfortunate Eubank v Watson fight I reckon. It had everything, it wasn't pretending to be something it wasn't, unlike tonight. They genuinely hated each other those two.

I'll never forget the fight where Michael Watson knocked Benn over, almost in slow motion.
