Boxing

[Daniel 7]

This boxing thread is one of the reasons I keep coming back to EST - you serious fellas are ****ing great, proper insight and it doesn't seem like you're blagging it. I've also enjoyed the spats where someone was getting fed up that the standard of posting had dropped
(Was it spud_gun? can't remember)

One I was interested in, given the comparisons with the 90s at heavyweight conversations and how these guys couldn't mix it with that era - where would the fringe of that era stand in comparison to now?

Fellas I always remember as being there or there about - David Tua is one. What about Gary Mason? He never seemed to get the big fights (other than Lennox and Biggs), but his record looked pretty good from what I remember - he seemed more impressive to my untrained eye than someone like Dillian Whyte, but I could be wrong.

Would a peak Tua, Golota, Gary Mason have done anything now?

Yes, maybe, no.


Peak Tua would be a wrecking ball in the current era imo. Don't think there is anyone now good enough to expose his limitations whilst still holding him off the way Lennox Lewis did. Anyone that says Fury back at me can GTF.

Golota.....think he might have been a Parker level figher nowadays...maybe or might just a level below that as he flattered to deceive in his own era.

Mason...Would be a Chisora level fighter in the current era imo. Think Whyte is at least level above what peak Mason was.



Think a lot of the other fringe guys and/or somewhat underrated from the 1990s would be very much in the mix, if not the stand out guys, if peak them existed now.


Think guys like Moorer, Douglas, and Byrd ( just for Zap to think on) would have done very well in the current era, all for different reasons stylistically, and Ibeabuchi,who I think was a total waste of talent in his own era due to his out of the ring **** ups and manic behaviour, would have looked amazing in the current era imho.

Williams v Eubank Jr tonight.

Was almost looking forward to it, then realised I had the wrong Liam (and weightclass for that matter) in my head. Smith not Williams.

So back to not being interested in the fight again.

But it has resparked my curiosity as to what is the point of Eubank jr in a ring? 11 years a pro and yet to beat a a proper decent fighter in their prime.

His two biggest challenges on that front would probably have been Saunders and Groves and both of them beat Sugar Ray Dickdrip jr.


Also reminded me that the only two fights I would like to see at middle weight right now are Charlo vs Andrade (think that would be a peach of a fight) and Dickdrip jr in with Green Piss Canelo (though that can happen a weight up if they want and would be the one and only time I would root for the cheating tainted meat eater)

[Shaggy]

We let Shaggy in here don't we? So not that serious a thread






Sorry Shaggy







Not sorry




Now **** off back to the egg ball thread

[Doc_Piptorious]

Yeah I am waiting to watch the Dickdrip jr fight.

Raining is pelting down outside and the wind is bending the trees. Was going to have a wee dram (or three) and watch the rain hit the wondows whilts listening to good music, then discovered I had drank the last of what I wanted to drink tonight and never bought a new bottle.

So time for Sugar Ray Dickdrip jr to once again show us all why he is the greatest boxer to have ever put on gloves and why the rest of us are just too damn stupid to realise that.


And what the **** is he wearing? Looks like a santa suit that somone nicked sleeves off of.

Haha these two girls are having a pretty frank exchange of opinions at ringside.


Oh great Carl Froch is at ringside. Wonder if he ever fought at Wembly. Man looks so awkward having to interact with humans.

[Doc_Piptorious]

Oh jesus now we have Brook and Khan talking shyte at each other.

Talking about smashing the other up and as if either is anything other than a punchy washed up dope.


This is like watching two five year olds with english as a distant third language trying to trash talk in english.




And back to Froch trying to talk to humans.

Froch says "I cannot pick a winner at all.....but if I have to pick a winner it is Khan"

A Tom Jones impersonator out singing now.


You really can tell the calibre of the fighters by who they get to sing before the fight

[spud_gun]

They'd be better getting a guy dressed up as a Dragon to stick a leek up his arse than this Delilah ****e.

**** me.

[Doc_Piptorious]

VT with Liam Williams talking about dragons being played to the crowd now.

Dragons apparantly get bigger and bigger along with breathing fire

[Doc_Piptorious]

Here comes the Welsh Dragon expert.


David Attenborough can do one.


Did he really just say "this is his world title fight even though there are no world titles on the line"


Winning without winning. Moyes has to come out after that

[Doc_Piptorious]

**** me, the Santa suit is actually a red bin bag with furry collars. As big budget as the rest of the show.


This is going to be the greatest fight EVER

Hagler Hearns is going to be NOTHING compared to this.

[spud_gun]

12 rounds?

What belt is this for?

One from TK Maxx

[Doc_Piptorious]

Come on Dragon man. Stop tippy tapping. He doesn't have his dad's chin. Spark the bin bag wearing gimp.

William ran onto a punch and down
