boxing pundit on boxnation

One pundit kept saying that the klitschkos pick opponents who are small and light and was basically chucking a load of insults at the klitschkos.

Vitali only fought adamek because it was his mandetory. he had no choice. he fought solis who lets face it is not light weight and was also unbeaten in about 18 fights when he faced him.

Wladamir faced haye who everyone wanted to see him fight.

Who are these small people that they fight? and who could they have fought instead?

There's no-one else out there for them to fight. The HW scene is shockingly bad. It has never been so bad. Far too many eastern euro carpenters and plumbers masquerading as boxers.

You sound like Haye when he called Adamek a polish plumber.

Tyson Luke Fury is currently number 10 on the Ring Magazine HW rankings.

I like Tyson, don't get me wrong - but I believe I've said it all there.

Well Find out who ws ranked number 10 in the 80', 90's and early 00's. Then compare to see if tyson being number 10 is that much worse than in the other eras.

Well they're all literally useless.

I read somewhere tht Deaotay Wilder is fighting some 5"9 guy who hasn't fought in 4 years as his next opponent.

Lord have mercy on the HW division. Come back John Ruiz. All is forgiven.

Mike Tyson's opposition was bad - but Douglas was about 10 in the ring rankings when Tyson lost to him.

Buster Douglas or Tyson Fury?

As I said - I really, really like Fury - and I do hope that he matures into a top HW - because he's nowhere near there yet, by any stretch of the imagination.

I dont think Fury is going to get there anyway. Not even in these shocking times.
