Wasn't Wilder offered 50-50 split and a guaranteed $50 million? Bet he wishes he'd taken that now, he could potentially have sent AJ into the middle of 2020 and be in the position that Andy Ruiz is in.

Khan's 'fight' with some Indian fighter is off because the other lad was in a car accident (hope he is okay). Instead, Khan fights Billy Dib, a guy who fought his career at 126 and below (one fight at 130). The fight is at 147 I believe. What's the point of weight divisions again?

Not this version of Pacman. Thurman is beatable though.

Never been impressed with Thurman. Prime Pac would beat the breaks off him; still think way past his peak Pac can squeak a split decision.

Thurman has had two serious shoulder injuries which has stopped the momentum he built up.  A few years back he was looking seriously good as in the best of the post Floyd Welterweight's.

Chisora v  Szpilka in a couple of weeks or so. Szpilka is about 5 years younger but I think he's been dropped a few times at this level, most notably when Wilder ended him in 2016.

You lot see this as a relatively easy one for Chisora?
It's true to say that if Shankly had told us to invade Poland we'd be queuing up 10 deep all the way from Anfield to the Pier Head.

He isn't a complete Latvian by any stretch but has been puzzlingly inactive. Wilder didnt have the easiest night against him before landing a bomb. That was back in early 2016 and he has fought just 4 times since then. Got KO'd early against Kownacki who isn't that great.

If Bellend Boy has anything left he should win it but we all know he can be great one night and wank the next. I call him Bellend Boy because he endorsed the fucking Brexit Party. This from a man born in Zimbabwe where he lived until he was 16  ::)

Didn't know Joe Joyce was fighting Bryant Jennings in 9 days. He could easily lose that you know. Also Whyte vs Rivas is on the same night as Chisora. Rivas stopped Jennings in the 12th last time out and could be a good opponent for Whyte. Add in Price vs. Allen and it is a decent month of heavyweight action involving British fighters.

Just noticed that Samuel Peter is STILL fighting  :o I thought he was about 50 and is apparently only 38!

After being stopped by Pulev in 2016, he was gone but came back to fight three journeyman in 2019, and managed to lose one. His opponent next weekend? Hughie Fury in Saudi Arabia FFS.

Didn't know that about him, what a brainless idiot. Hope Szpilka sparks him out.

Got to admit, boxing is boring at the moment. There's no big fights coming up and there's too much ducking going on. I think the sport needs another Mayweather or Tyson, someone who will bring in the big numbers and interest the casuals.

Excellent. I'd make him clear favourite if the fight gets made. Saunders is an awkward bugger and very skilled but Smith's enormous size, strength, and power, not to mention the fact he is pretty skilled himself, make him a bad fight for anyone at 168 IMO. I wouldn't rule BJS out at all of course but I personally think he is biting off more than he can chew.

I have to say, I'm looking forward to those heavyweight dust ups I mentioned; mainly because the winner is not completely set in stone. Whyte 'should' beat Rivas but the Canadian seems to be a decent fighter. Chisora is a level above Szpilka but is past his best now. I also think Jennings has a very good chance of beating Joyce. Knowing my prediction standard lately, all three will be early blowouts  ;D

Allen vs Price has the potential to be a great pub brawl while it lasts; though I can't see anything beyond a KO win for Allen.

Honestly think Callum would be 20lbs heavier on the night. A bridge too far for BJS I think.

You should be flipping he question and asking how good BJS's chances are against Callum? My answer would be not very good.  Doesn't punch hard enough and its going to be hard to outbox Callum with his dimensions

How he avoids Brook is amazing.

All he cares about is the money and waning hold on to not getting beat by a Uk boxer.

Embarrassing. He highlights everything that's wrong with boxing currently.

Why doesn't Brook move on?

Make the big fights, try to win titles or fcuk off. He is WBA mandatory,try to enforce it
