I remember the Michael Conlan fight thinking how on earth was he not the winner.

In a shock to absolutely no one a report published yesterday concluded that the fixing of fights took place in the 2016 Olympics.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/sep/30/judges-signals-fix-olympic-boxing-bouts-mclaren-report

A damning investigation into boxing at the Rio 2016 Olympics has found widespread evidence of “corruption, bribery and the manipulation of sporting results” – with judges giving each other signals at ringside to fix bouts.

The report by Prof Richard McLaren, who exposed state sponsored doping in Russia, said that the seeds of the corruption had been sown in the years beforehand, with bouts before and during London 2012 also under suspicion.

I honestly don't think Wilder has any idea how to deal with Fury's personality

HGH gave him a giant bobble head conspiracies aside lol his rapid move up in weight without losing any speed or output at over thirty years old combined with ducking tests certainly smacks of PED use.

The Marquez fights will live long in the memory. About as good as it gets.

What a fighter. Just wish he'd got it on with Mayweather at their peaks.

Would have happened if he had not kept refusing to have drug testing for certain enhancing substances as part of the terms of the fight.


In ring Pacquiao is an all time great that would have been comfortable in any era. He had a bit of everything to him, and what is most impressive about him, for me anyway, is how he was able to hang with, and usually beat, proper bangers right at the tail end of his career. The guy should have been out to pasture a long time at that stage if you go by age alone but was getting into the ring with much younger guys, for the most part, and they were guys who were bloody good finishers.

His destruction of Hatton was very impressive too. Made it look like he was beating a rank amatuer that night.

Very good at getting revenge for a loss too. He would get beaten, usually in a narrow enough fashion, and then have figured out the guys who beat him so much that he would beat the guys by a distance (or early) in a rematch if not two rematches.


Out of the ring he is a opportunistic homophobic piece of **** in my eyes though. His views on gay people were and are disgusting and he twisted so much on the topic to try and defend his views. Then put it on his religion as to why he was against gays, the same religion he dropped on a whim when he was able to make more money through switching to another religion. Does not change the fact that in ring he was a genuine top tier fighter at a number of weights and over a really long period of time.

Agree to both, never seemed to shirk a fight or take a backward step. If everyone in boxing was like him, it'd be a tremendous sport.

Peak Manny was about as exciting as it gets.
