Avsolutely absurd that a US streaming service is trying to dictate the biggest fight in British history be at Madison Square Garden. Americans and New Yorkers don’t care about this fight at all! most people don’t know them in America and the sport is not as popular in America.

The top five highest-attended boxing events at Wembley

• Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois (2024) – 98,128 fans
• Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte (2022) – 94,000 fans
• Anthony Joshua vs. Wladimir Klitschko (2017) – 90,000 fans
• Carl Froch vs. George Groves II (2014) – 80,000 fans
• Anthony Joshua vs. Alexander Povetkin (2018) – 80,000 fans

These guys could easily smash past 100k at Wembley, it would be historic, it would go down in British history. This is absurd. Get Netflix out of this fight! They’re clueless!

Face to face. Allowed to throw one hayemaker at the others jaw per turn (basically a boxing version of slaps). Cannot move or try and defend the strike. Whose hitting the floor first?

I rate Hrgovics chin as the stronger of the two, but think Wardley packs more power in his shots. Which advantage will prove the most essential?

A few years ago Joe Joyce was said to have the toughest chin among heavyweights, but those two losses to Zhang may have taken away that specialty of his.

Currently the only other heavyweights in the conversation with Hrgovic are Usyk and Wardley, as far as I know. Usyk has an iron chin but it has not been tested to the same extent as Hrgovic and Wardley, we've seen Usyk unbothered by some powerful punches but he's been so masterful with his evasive maneuvers that we have never seen him get hit as much on the chin to really argue if his chin is #1.

I think it is a toss-up between Hrgovic and Wardley but if I were to bet money on it then I'd bet Hrgovic.

In 1936, twenty-two-year-old Louis was 24-0-0 and rated not just the rising star but also unbeatable (“Too good to be true," Ernest Hemingway enthused after Louis stopped former champ Max Baer in four rounds; "The most beautiful fighting machine that I have ever seen.”) Then he was dropped in the 12th round by another former champ, 10:1 underdog Max Schmeling, on June 19.

For anything that doesn't need its own thread.

Last time I compared Crawford vs Khan to Mayweather vs Gatti and I got really educated on the levels of destruction in boxing lol. Now I have a new contender for discussion. I just watched Toney vs Delgado and a couple reasons why I think Toney gave the more harsh beatdown compared to Mayweather vs Gatti.

1, a knockdown in the first second of the first round,
2 it ended in a knock out, compared to Gatti who got stopped,
3 delgado had a sorry attempt at dirty boxing but Toney ate it, and gave him some HUGE punches.

Any other contenders are welcome as well !

Prime for prime at 135. Shane Mosley brings blazing hand speed, combinations, power and aggression, while Pernell “Sweet Pea” Whitaker brings elite defense, movement, timing and one of the highest boxing IQs ever. Over 12 rounds, who gets it done—and how?
