Povetkin should've walked out to now the drugs don't work by the verve.

I don't see whyte beating Usyk nevermind the top 2.

He has beaten Del Boy twice already abit pointless really.

Expect Parker to bore his way to a UD against Del Boy in May.

I guess you have Joyce or Uysk but they are supposed to be fighting each other.

Whyte is a dangerous man for the fringe title challengers so they will look to avoid him either AJ & Fury hurry up and fight or let Whyte fight for the WBC its taking the piss.

I think there's an excellent chance he fights Captain Windmill next.

Fordy and Samie to fight at Friends Kebabs

Samie starts as 10/1 on fav only because he wouldn't want his kebab to go cold and would be looking to knock me out quickly.

Seriously, this is more interesting than Oscar coming back.

Frampton-Herring fight time 10pm Saturday. Could do without 107 minutes against Arsenal & 3 points.

Interesting fight Linares vs Haney. Linares is susceptible early doors but Haney doesn’t really have concussive punching power.

Just seen Frampton v Herring is on channel 5 this weekend.

Wonder if we might see a certain Irish gangster venture out of his secure compound for this?!

Yep, ESPN reporting it.

Quote

Manny Pacquiao is in discussions to fight WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford on June 5, a spokesperson for promoter Top Rank said Tuesday.

Pacman isn't exactly meandering to the end of his career is he? Keeps on taking huge challenges. Can't see him winning this at his age though; could be a passing of the torch style fight.

The last 2 times I watched channel 5 was for boxing. Eggington vs Pheopane & Spider Richards vs Pitters, hopefully they’ll use the ESPN panel for this.

I think Tyson v Jones has created a monster with these stupid exhibitions.

It would help boxing if the likes of Fury v AJ/Crawford v Spence can just get done

Maybe this is what happens to modern boxing, so many big fights don't get made and so many belts that the casual audience don't know who the stars are any more, so they're more interested in names from 20 years ago.

I can take or leave the UFC but one thing they do better than boxing is matchmaking fights that people want to see.

I'm not one bit arsed about the likes of Crawford V Pac, get me Crawford V Spence jr ffs, I know its easier for UFC cos they're all under one label but still, the only people losing out are the fans.

They did, but none were the PPV monsters that that fight was. 1.6m total buys (top 10 in boxing history) is absolutely obscene

At least Holyfield is putting doubts into his proposed third fight with Tyson. Saying nothing's been signed.

His reality show must not be getting the ratings then.

Think I'm more interested in Holyfield v McCrory at this point.

If the last year has taught fighters anything, it should be to strike while the iron is hot. Full houses & big PPV buys cannot be taken for granted. The reason why Mike Tyson & Roy Jones are remembered so fondly is because they fought their main rivals.

I’m not the biggest fan of Canelo but he remains active & fights everybody & that’s why he’s arguably the biggest name in boxing.

I won't believe it until Khan signs the papers to fight Kell mate.

Then the wet dreams will really start.
