who should he have fought to convince /box/tards that he wasn't that bad?

>>74110059
He could've been the guy to expose Pavlik and Dawson. Those fights were there for him, and although neither turned out to be as great as people thought they might be, beating them would've done wonders for Joe's legacy in America

>>74110059
I quite like him but he should've bulked up to heavyweight or slimmed down to middleweight.

Or at least knocked out Froch.

>>74110122

this, he should've gone to America after the Lacy fight

>>74110200
but he was too big for mw and too small for hw

I wasn't into boxing at that time - have there been negotiations/talks between Calzaghe and Froch? because Froch wasn't even a world champion when Calzaghe moved to light hw

>>74110375
Froch had been calling him out basically since he turned pro, but he hadn't really earned the fight yet. No one really cared about Froch before the Super Six, from what I recall

>>74110059
Only plebs think he's bad

>>74110660
The British boxing media overrates him though. I've heard tonnes of people unironically refer to him as the greatest British fighter ever, which is an insult to our boxing history

>>74110805
When it comes to skill I would rate him that desu. Resume no

>>74110836
Was he that skilled? I always thought of him as a guy who depended heavily on his athleticism. His punching form was pretty bad and he was there to be hit at times. Honestly someone like Frampton or Brook looks better schooled to me

>>74110907
his work rate, stamina, speed, volume punching, how he quickly adapted to new tactics etc makes him better than any other british boxer imo.

>>74111029
Honestly I don't think he's better than Eubank, Benn, Watson, Collins or Graham. They're all roughly the same level and I reckon Calzaghe would take a few losses against those guys in their primes

Is Check Hook Boxing the best forum in terms of knowledge, civility, etc.? I browse Boxing Scene sometimes but it just seems full of schizophrenic niggers these days, like a Mayweather family reunion

>>74111339
I think he would UD all of them easily desu, super middleweights that would give him trouble would be James Toney and prime RJJ

>>74111446
I dunno, those guys are better than Kessler to me (Joe's best win), which wasn't "easy", though it was clear enough

Hopkins and McCallum in their primes would've beaten him too, though they skipped 168 in reality. Him vs. Andre Ward and Sergey Kovalev would be 50-50 fights too in my book

>>74111669
Funnily enough Calzaghe and Bhop were gonna fight in 2002 but Bhop ran away at the last minute

>>74111776
Hopkins was still a middleweight in 2002. He ducked him in the same way Golovkin ducked Ward, I suppose. Plus he always had an overinflated sense of his own worth, he should have accepted 40% for the Jones rematch too. He still fought Joe in the end and arguably beat him

Undoubtedly some pre-War boxer like Bob Fitzsimmons, Ted Kid Lewis, Jack Kid Berg, Jimmy Wilde, etc.

Post-War it's a little harder to say. Ken Buchanan, Randy Turpin, John Conteh, Herol Graham, Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn and Joe Calzaghe usually get mentioned

>>74111374
Boxingscene has probably 100 flame war threads for every 1 good thread. I am sure the OGs that signed up in 2005 or something know some stuff about boxing but the forum has declined so much that it seems they hardly post anymore.

Don't forget there were fewer titles and divisions back then when comparing their boxrecs

How big would Saunders vs Eubank Jr 2 be now? Could they sell out a stadium with it?

>>74113031
Probably about the same as last time

>>74113031
Both of them are fucking awful. How did they get to be such big stars in the UK?

>>74113241
They're not big stars. Eubank is a little better known because of his father, but few people feel strongly about him one way or the other

Joshua and Haye are the only boxers I'd call big stars right now. Maybe Khan - his name is well known, but again, since he moved to America no one feels particularly strongly about him any more

>>74113031

nobody likes Saunders apart from fellow gyppos

>>74113302
Eubank is mentioned pretty consistently in the boxing media here. Maybe it's just because he talks so much.

Calling out Ward and Golovkin I guess is pretty easy way to get press.

>>74113302
>Joshua and Haye are the only boxers I'd call big stars right now. Maybe Khan

Agreed but honestly I think Crolla does a better live gate than Khan would these days.

>>74113981

Only muslims would still have any interest Khan, he's been exposed countless times and is only talked about more than Kell Brook because he did a stint in the US. If he did a PPV against anyone but Brook in this country it would be a bomb

>>74114094
I mentioned Khan because I think that although few people are still interested in him, most people know who he is. A sort of passive or latent name value. Whereas Brook probably has more enthusiastic fans (i.e. people who'd actually spend money to see him fight) but most people who don't follow boxing wouldn't even recognise him on the street

>>74114094
>would be a bomb
lel

>>74114240
lol

>>74114166

Yeah right. Khan's argument is because The Sun writes about his wife and his bullshit celebrity lifestyle sometimes this translates into PPV buys but it won't. Brook with Eddie Hearn to hype him up and sell the fight is on par with Amir Khan and it just comes down to him not wanting to get beat. Joshua and Haye are the only real stars because you can put them against anyone and it will still sell.

>>74114296
brooks resume consists of a SD of Porter

>>74114412

He just fought Golovkin on PPV and did very good numbers and he's with a promoter who has an exclusive contract with Sky Sports. Khan's leverage is imaginary and boils down to him refusing to do the fight unless he's over paid

>>74114412
He beat a more on-form Porter clearer than Thurman did

And soon he'll expose Spence too

>>74114529
in my opinion this is Khan's only option. he cant beat any big fighter at 147 anymore, and theres been a demand for a Kahn/Brook fight. should just take what he can and retire rich before another KO leaves him brain damaged

is it generally agreed upon that Elie fuckface is the most annoying person in all of boxing, along with Dontae?

>>74116831
Yes.

>>74116110

I think Khan should try to get the Garcia rematch, (which I think he can win) and even if he loses he can cash out again with the Brook fight.

Thats what I would do if I was Khan's manager.

>>74117235
Kahn's Manager is also Danny Garcia's. Uncle Al Haymon

>>74116637
Hancho is my favourite HL channel.
Also esnews. Yes, Ellie is biased and annoying but the amount of interviews from trainers-boxers he has is worth it imo.

>>74117235
Khan looked good against Canelo (for the brief moment that he was still conscious) but I don't think he'd beat Garcia now.

>>74112521
Boxingscene forum and eastside boxing forum is a good way for foreigners to learn just how shitty American blacks are.

>>74110059
Should have one to the States earlier. All that hometown reffing really hurts his case even with good wins over Hopkins, Kessler, and Lacy. He's a great fighter but the bulk of his career has been fraudulent.

>>74117394
Even in the first fight with Garcia he looked like shit immediately once Garcia exposed him. People shit on Danny but he really is talented as hell once you get past the cherry picker label

>>74119431
Garcia simply doesn't do anything captivatingly enough to warrent exalting him like they do for Lomachenkos movement or Kovalevs punching-power, and therefore tend to underrate him

>>74119494

Hes a good counter puncher, but can easily get outboxed.

He's strong and can do everything else good, but not great.

That being said, I think he lost to herrera, and I think there is an argument that he lost the peterson fight as well.

I had no idea casuals actually consider eubank Jr an elite boxer. What kind of brain disease do you have to have to believe that?

There is no shame in ducking GGG.

>>74116110
>he cant beat any big fighter at 147 anymore

I think Khan legitimately backs himself to be able to beat Garcia at 147 in a rematch, which is why he wants the inter-rim fight to see if Garcia beats Thurman. If Thurman beats Garcia we'll probably get Brook Khan before the end of the year, if Garcia wins Khan will probably take Garcia first and then Brook afterwards.

>>74122177
Nobody genuinely believes that, they just know it's easy bait.

Rumours of Andy Lee on the GGG undercard would love to see him have one more crack at a top name always been a favourite of mine

>>74122632
It's a shame that Andy Lee lost to BJS in 2015, Lee would have fought GGG I think

>>74120282

Eubank Jr is world level at 160, fighters like Curtis Stevens and Martin Murray would lose to him. Eubank is a great athlete who can throw big combinations and he is very good at fighting in the pocket, where he is only British level is boxing on the outside and that's why he'll come up short against Golovkin and taller super middleweights like DeGale, Groves, Ramirez.

>>74122965

Money. I think he's going to end up fighting Spence though as he doesn't want to give up his title. Really good 50/50 fight.

>>74124446
Arum needs to accept that he's going to die soon and stop being a stingy Jew so he can actually get Lomachenko the fights his talent deserves. After Sosa, Arum needs to pay Salido and Corrales whatever they are asking for

>>74124610
Salido is ducking Lomachenko tho. They offered Salido what he was asking for but then he decided he wanted to fight Muira for less money. That's when he got injured.

>>74124647
Then chuck another $100k on top of that

Salido probably has to return to the table now anyway since Vargas lost and Berchelt has to face Miura next. He has to be Lomachenko's summer opponent

I actually wanted Sosa vs Vargas but oke

I don't see Sosa being any challenge for Lomachenko.

>>74125494
nope, but who else do you expect him to fight?

>>74125505

I think Loma's too good for his own good. There's nobody on his level at 126 or 130.

>>74125494
I guess he's the closest thing to Salido. He's tough, he keeps the pressure up and throws looping hooks at close range. Wide punches are always going to be more effective against Loma than precise straight punches like Walters attempted

>>74125560

Loma's just gonna counter him all night.

>>74124718
He doesn't want it tho. Why would he offer more money when he already offered him what Salido wanted in the first place? But instead of taking more money for a hard fight, Salido preferred to take another fight for less money

>>74125597
it'd somewhat remove the single blemish on his record.

>>74125618
Lomachenko wants the rematch, Salido wants no part of it

>>74125632
considering that Salido is an uber driver, given enough time and money he'll eventually take the fight.

Fair or not I think the handwrap controversy really hurt his image. Not sure what to think myself, although a lot of trainers seemed to think it was pretty minor.

Who cares what the idiots on Twitter and BoxingScene think. Salido would bring in the most casual interest due to the ready made narrative and it would be great for Loma's legacy to erase the only blemish on his record. In the amateurs he only lost once, to Selimov, and then avenged that loss afterwards. It would be cool if we could say the same thing for his professional career. Plus I'd still like to see the actual proof of how far he's progressed since the first fight. I suspect it would look completely differently this time but you never know until it happens

>>74126321
They'll stick a couple of passable fights on the undercard and the usual suspects will fall for it yet again

Anyone know the final ppv buys for eubank?

>>74126369

It will be 30 to 40% lower if they do John Ryder on PPV. They will lose some of the causals over the blue screen Sky issue and it's promoted by Richard Poxon, there's not many fighters available he can use for the undercard

And I'm guessing the Eubanks kept 90% of the revenue, thieving bastards

>>74126464
Yeah it isn't a failure at all, not a runaway success either mind but it's basically ok. Certainly enough for them to carry on.

Is it a good thing or does it diluate the chance of big fight ?

>>74126659
It's terrible, literally no argument for it being a positive thing at all.

>>74126659
There's only 4 proper ones. With The Ring being sort of separate but in many ways the most important. Still way too many though, really sucks for lovers of the sport.

>>74126540
100% but it's not plausible

What other notable British fighters are unaffiliated with Hearn and Warren? Lee Haskins? Josh Taylor?

>>74126659

There's no chance of it really happening. The IBO can't legitimatise itself when the big 4 have no incentive to recognise it. Eubank is an outlier in that he has name recognition to sell an IBO fight but not good enough to win one of the real 4 titles

>>74126815
is it possible that we'll see an amalgamation in our lifetime?

>>74126935
No, if anything it'll go the other way since being able to call your fighter """"""world champion""""" has so much value they're willing to legitimise shit titles. That has already happened once in my lifetime with the WBO and you can see Eubank trying to start it with the IBO.

>>74126798
>>74126563

So it is possible to do Eubank vs Ryder as long as the undercard is fairly strong. Scott Quigg is the only difficult fight to make there

>>74126967

The WBC are taking a gamble with strict VADA testing, it will either legitimise them as the real title or they will be forced to walk it back when fighters just fight for other belts rather than face strict drug testing

>>74126967
the maybe we can hope that we become so oversaturated with acronyms that the significance becomes diluted and people simply chase fights with higher monetary valute and belts fade into obscurity.

>>74126540
How about:

Eubank Jr vs. Murray
Ryder vs. Arnfield II
Selby vs. Legrand
Galahad vs. Agbeko
Davies Jr vs. Daws

>>74126935
WBC and WBA have spoken about merging occasionally but it never materialises. Maybe the IBF could get done by the FBI again and disband. The WBO could flounder when Arum dies and stops paying them bribes

>>74127008
Most people are signed up now to be fair, and the WBC will always have the prestige of being the original, despite some questionable decisions lately. Not sure how much difference it will make though tbf, promoters love the current situation.

>>74127009
Yeah that's the more realistic scenario I think.

>>74127023

I would probably go for it although I think that's slightly worse, remember Galahad was 1.05 odds to beat Agbeko. Doing it that way they're relying more on the main event to sell it. I'm buying into the argument that sometimes it's better to have a shit main event so the promoter is forced to put on a good undercard.

>>74127058
isn't the WBA a direct spawn of the WBC?

>>74127100
You're thinking of the WBO. The sort of semi-spawned from the WBA too.

>>74127138
>>74127100
The IBF sort of semi-spawned from the WBA too*

>>74127009
Well the problem is that so much of the belt stuff is marketed toward casual fans. There's always going to be a market for fractured titles as long as guys can hole up in their respective hometowns and sell themselves as "champs". It'd be nice if they all died a quick death but there's too much money outside the hardcore fans for that to happen.

>>74127161
so quite the opposite of what I thought, the saturation is a necessity rather than a cancer.

Pretty banging fight on Channel 5 for free next month, Craig Kennedy vs. Matty Askin. Honestly better than anything on the ITV PPV card

>>74127198
That's not what he said at all, he said it IS a cancer but it's an inevitable cancer. Without a system like UFC where one person basically locks down the entire sport (which has its own problems) there's no way to enforce the best constantly fighting the best unfortunately.

>>74125861
Corrales, Salido and Berchelt vs Miura winner

Davis isn't looking for unifications
Vargas just lost and should take a looooong time off
Uchiyama just got beat twice
He already KO'd martinez

>>74127100

WBA and WBC are the real belts, IBF and WBO are break aways from the WBA

>>74127367
But these days I'd say that the IBF is more legitimate than the WBA

>>74127288
>Uchiyama
he's quite old now, do you see him ever coming back to title contention?

>>74127198
>>74127241
>it's an inevitable cancer
Yeah pretty much this. I mean look at Wilder...I can certainly tell you that an undefeated record is usually cause for suspicion rather than celebration and that the WBC strap doesn't mean a whole lot by itself, but he can sell out these big arenas in Alabama marketed as UNDEFEATED HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION DEONTAY WILDER. The economics of boxing are such that the biggest and most knowledgeable fans are frequently ignored because the money isn't always in the best matchups.

The UFC is every bit as problematic, even if you ignore the fact that it's a giant, corrupt monopoly they still have the exact same issue of chasing PPV numbers by marketing to people who don't follow their sport regularly. One belt isn't going to solve all the problems with boxing.

>>74127406

The IBF don't take the piss with the amount of B and C titles the way the WBA do but they've both been corrupt in the past

>>74127463

And the UFC has interim belts now doesn't it? So it seems like the more time goes on the more closely it follows boxing. McGregor has also given them the problem of the top fighters only wanting money fights.

>>74127618
They've always had interim belts, but in the past they were rare and used exclusively in situations where the current champ was unable to fight due to injury. It's starting to shift into something more political now and the differences between the two sports are pretty minimal these days.

Woodley got jobbed with a draw not too long ago and now Demian Maia's stuck sitting around again while the UFC gives the guy the want to be champ another crack at the belt. Different path to the same nonsense.

>>74127462
Doubt it. The only belt holder in 130 that I think he has good chance to beat is Davis, but I don't see the fight happening.
He has been in SFW he whole career, it would be really hard to change division at 37. But if he does, I give 0 chances with any belt holder at 135. If however he feels comfortable at 126 I think he can beat Valdez and maybe Shelby but I haven't seen enough of him to make a call.

>>74127568
If memory serves the IBF basically showed up overnight after Larry Holmes got sick of dealing with the WBC. A champ's as good as his competition, none of the main titles are inherently more or legitimate I don't think.

>>74126815
If junior were to win another one of the belts he'd immediately stop bragging about being ibo champ but since casuals really believe he's a world champion, he takes it everywhere

>>74127288
And Mayweather probably isn't open to having one of his fighters on a top rank card

What happened in the Klitschko-Povetkin fight?

Was Wlad just too big and strong for Povetkin?

>>74128965

Yeah update on the BJS situation for those who can't be bothered to watch the whole thing. The Murata/GGG fight (whichever it turns out to be) is still on for the summer but the WBO have ordered him to fight his mandatory first so it's all on whether he manages that. Should be a great fight actually, Saunders favourite certainly but Khurtsidze has a lot to offer.

daily reminder that saunders wil vacate his title and never fight again

boxing is full of shit

>>74135327
Why so cynical afghanbro, that certainly won't happen. He might well not fight again if he loses, or if he wins and then cashes out against GGG, but he's in no place to quit now.

>>74135327
He'll vacate only if he doesn't get a big money fight,which he most likely won't, looking at Canelo's and ggg's schedules

>>74135327

He'll fight Khurtsidze, he has to in order to keep the WBO title and get his big summer fight which is presumably Golovkin

Reminder that we how have CONFIRMATION that the Furys are not only cheats but liars to boot.

http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2016/8/3/12370170/boxing-ukad-issues-statement-on-tyson-and-hughie-furys-drug-test-failure

>Back in June, The Mirror put out an article where they stated that both heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury and his cousin Hughie had tested positive for nandrolone, a banned steroid. They said that this occurred in February and March of 2015, and the boxers met with UK Anti-Doping about it in September of 2015. At that time, UKAD said they wanted to investigate further according to the article.

>Both Tyson and Hughie vehemently denied the charges at the time and continue to do so, with Tyson even going so far as to say he would sue UKAD over the allegation (via the BBC) yesterday.

>This prompted UKAD to actually speak on record about the issue today. They confirm that both boxers were charged in June, but in a baffling move, they lifted their provisional suspensions today pending a hearing:

>>74135339

Everybody in boxing is cheating. Except for David Price.

>>74135332
because the mw division is really depressing, good fights just don't happen, and I'm really not happy with ggg - jacobs. ggg talks 24/7 about "I want all belts, I like fight" and he's fighting for the regular version of a title he already ownes

>>74135361
owns*

>>74135361

He has to because the WBA mandated it. It's a decent fight and he could still fight BJS and Canelo before the year is over.

>>74137566

Golovkin is for real but Jacobs has been down a couple of times before, if he knocks him out in the 7th or 8th I would put that on par with his wins over Willie Monroe and David Lemieux.

>>74137957
btw, he isn't very good and is actually incredibly boring fighter. I wanted it to be Miller.

>>74137965

But Miller would actually have a chance of winning

>>74137373
"Good" is relative. He basically a pot shooting HW who transformed to a discount Lara the first time he fought a decent opponent, then gassed and started running in rounds 7-10. He slightly better than the average guy Wilder usually faces.

Here, draw your own conclusions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORcUwCfGeJk

>>74137566
GGG is for real, beating Jacobs wouldn't change that; his victory over Lemieux is more important IMO

>>74137964
Jacobs has won every fight since his last loss by KO/TKO (for whatever that's worth) but I've never seen him fight outside of the Pirog bout.

>>74140835

Parker. Hughie circles on the outside throwing a straight jab, relying on having a bigger reach. If the opponent comes in he'll throw a few shots to the body. He doesn't have big knockout power. Parker 115-113 in a boring fight.

I think GGG would destroy Eubank.
