He was a monster in his prime. I recall Frank Bruno saying that Tyson gave a little mew before he hit Bruno with the winning punch.

Remember watching Ali fights in the 70s when the heavyweight division was in its prime.

Give me Fury over Joshua any day now

1 of funny characters from boxing I like is Chris eubank, he used to own a big American truck until it got re possessed.

Eubank was a class act. Probably the best British middleweight I've seen but the late 70s early 80s era of Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvellous Marvin Hagler & Roberto "Hands of Stone" Duran was something else

Not in Eubank's class IMO.
Mind, UK had some decent middleweights - Benn and Watson immediately spring to mind and Collins of Ireland

Heavyweights have been terrible most of my life, bit more interesting lately. Watched Buster Douglas vs Mike Tyson with my son yesterday, cracking fight

Depends when you started watching. Grew up with Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Norton, bad Ernie Shavers, Joe Bugner (bless him) et al

I got interested with Eubank vs Benn. Always liked Benn, like a caged animal scared shitless, hard and aggressive

Btw, watch out for Daniel Dubois (& his sister) if you are interested in upcoming British heavyweights

A fuller answer than the truest definition if what sport is would be to talk about the positives of boxing, it contributes a lot of positivity to the lives of those involved and has a better safety record than rugby, horse riding and motorsport.

Alan Minter has died of cancer. BBC only reported Diana Rigg. Shame.

Looks like all sport will be behind closed doors soon,

NFL started yesterday, Kansas city had some fans but most stadiums will remain empty apparently, including the LA and Vegas teams that have spent billions on new stadiums.
