George Groves v Martin Murray is on Sky PPV

Someone has to stop Hearn and Sky for trying to rob people.

PPV for that.....**** off!

How on earth is that PPV worthy

Isn't it on the undercard of the Joshua vs Tomato Can PVV on the 26th of this month?

It is

[Chazza]

Ah.

The video I watched made it look like they were the main event.

[Doc_Piptorious]

Still does not make it anything other than a piss poor PPV though.

I'm so sick of seeing George Groves, he's boring. His fights are dull and he gets on my nerves. Did you see when Murray said to Groves that, in his opinion, Groves was unfit to continue in the first Froch fight? He looked like a balloon that had been deflated - I'm sure there were nearly tears!

Is Kahn ducking Brook because Brook would comfortably beat him?

[CJ]

Do we think we will see a unified heavyweight champion in the next few years. If so who is most likely to do it?

Khan thinks he opperates at a higher level than Brook. Khan is the better boxer I think but Brook would trouble him if he caught him. Khan has been shown to be fairly chinny

[CJ]

Kahn is not bad but certainly chinny. Obviously ducking Brook though.

We saw a new one (WBA, WBO, IBF, IBO, and Lineal titles) last November, and of course Klitschko held all of those since 2011.

The WBC heavyweight strap has been out of the mix for quite some time when it comes to a unified champ mainly due to how long Vitali Klitschko held it for. By the time it became up for grabs Wlad had every other belt snapped up and the WBC had their own eliminator bouts for it which did not include Wlad Klitschko.


As to who would be most likely to be the next unified belt holder, right now the favourite would have to be Fury if he beats Klitschko as he still holds everything of note save for the IBF and WBC straps.

Cheers. I find it so confusing these days. I preferred the old days of three or four belts.

Yep preferred years gone by as well. Whilst there was still plenty of paper champions and sanctioning body related crap going on back then, we tended to see a few proper dominant heavyweights coming along to replace the previous batch of dominant heavies most decades.

Nowadays the bar is set much lower in the division to the point where I think all of the current main strap holding champions in the division (Fury, Wilder, and Joshua) would have been mid tier fighters 15 to 20 years ago. Those three would have slotted in nicely alongside the likes of Seldon, Hide, Akinwande, McCall, Rahman etc,. as guys who could score the odd shock win but nobody really believed were the top dogs.

[CJ]

Oh yes there has been bollocks in boxing since it's inception.

It's just harder to work out who the best us when your a more casual observer like I am.

Thinks?

All evidence points to Khan operating in a different stratosphere to Kell Brook.

If operating means losing then yes.
