Yeah there's a lot of good fights at 147.

Spence and the majestic Crawford chief amongst them

Wouldnt have any issue with Taylor having an 'easy' mandatory in Edinburgh. Make a ton of money and then move to 147.

I just hope he keeps the head. He's already had a few issues out of the ring.

Called out Terrance Crawford, could be a cracking fight if that takes place

That would be a very tasty bout if it comes about sooner rather than later. Would favour Crawford as he is one of the purest all rounders in the sport today with no real weakness to him.

Taylor is no mug either though, and what with being 3 or 4 years younger than Crawford and having less miles on the clock, calling Crawford out as he approaches 34 years of age might be a very good move similar to Leonard waiting for Hagler to have faded just enough before taking him on.


Taylor has some really good wins under his belt too. Ramirez is a damn good scalp to have as are Viktor Postol and Prograis.

Would not be surprised if Taylor gets a spell as the P4P king before he retires from the sport.

Great interview by John Fury. Very honest assessment of the whole situation. He more or less agrees with Hearn's take on things. His son should listen to him and take heed. Also I don't know about anyone else but some of Tyson's antics in the media recently is starting to make me think he is back on the sniff again. I hope this isn't the case as I'm a big fan of his as some of you may know from previous posts.

Tyson Fury's antics and comments of late is just him being himself. He has been that way his entire career and he was just being managed better of late in terms of his media team imo. The man with the horribly racist, sexist and bigoted views is never too far from the surface imho.

Personally I cannot take too much of what Joh Fury says seriously either. He is another that tries to change his public persona. Really not sure how much a person who regarded gouging out the eye of another person as the proper response to an argument can actually change.

I've said my piece on the Fury's and have been ridiculed for it, so I won't repeat myself. You're exactly right though, I have no idea how he's suddenly refreshed his image and that the perception is that he's a nice guy and upstanding member of society. Bunch of cunts with Tyson being the worst. Makes me laugh that the same people that speak up about BLM and other social issues think that Fury is a great guy. Hypocrisy at its pinnacle.

Is simple.

A good media team that gets to be hands on for a sustained period and that gets him to stick to script be it on social media or in interviews for a solid chunk of time.


Only thing I am positive it is not, is him suddenly becoming a nice guy free of horrible predjudices.

Mayweather needs to finish this cunt quick and deadly to put an end to this circus.

Although he is part of the circus so **** knows really.

Just people put their lives on the line for this sport and then are mugged off by youtube stars with 0-1 records making life changing money.

[ChesterDave]

Mayweather is a dreadful human but lesser of two evils he wins this. Paul doesn't even need the $$$ made more from YouTube than he'll get from this fight

[Chazza]

Eventually someone is getting seriously hurt and it will set the sport back years.

Didn't see that lasting the distance

[ChesterDave]

The Paul fanbois out in force claiming he won. Not can count as a victory because he went the distance but outright won. Stats say otherwise

Fair play to him though, as much as I hoped he'd get knocked out, he went 8 rounds with Mayweather, who would've loved nothing more than to put Paul down. Mayweather may be retired, but Paul has only had one fight before. Begrudgingly, I respect what he's done.

[Gray]

I'm sure Mayweather was paid for it to go the distance, or that would be the end of exhibition bouts and free money.

[Doc_Piptorious]

The talk of it going the distance was out there days before the fight. Seems a "revenge" bout may be on the way with the youtuber's brother looking to fight Mayweather to "avenge" his brother.


Need to get the EST1892 social media geeks on the case from here on in, and get a Jaco vs Mayweather streetfight PPV up and running. I would do it for far less than Youtube gimp. Give me a million and I would fight Mayweather in a running battle through the streets of Cork or Limerick
