    Canelo dodged GGG for a few years, absolutely. There’s no question he was biding his time, he’s doing the same thing Floyd done with Pacman. Doesn’t matter a jot, regarding the actual fight though and the peoples’ opinions on that fight. Canelo failing 2 drug tests since then has * everything up, the * idiot that he is.

    The Fury and Klitschko fight was boring and was boring for only one reason. Tyson made it so. They asked Wlad after it if he had hurt his right and why he didn’t throw it, he said no, he just couldn’t get near him. Fury has amazing footwork and just frustrated the life outta him, Klitschko couldn’t get close to him. He’s so used to using his size to dominate his opponents he didn’t know when plan A didn’t work.

    Thanks again, that's the kind of stuff I wouldn't notice, Fury's footwork and tactics not allowing Klitschko to throw his right and dominate. I will try to look out for it in future though.

    Can't believe Canelo failed two drugs tests :56: How dumb are these sportspeople who do this? I read on here the Brazilian UFC guys are infamous for taking drugs which I find hilarious because those guys must get tested a lot at the highest level.

    Anyway, here we go, time for the big man to make a 1 minute impression and let folk know he's coming for them :boxing:

    If he gets beat I'll be on the floor too :rofl:

    Wee bit better from Fury there, for a big daft looking * he is a skillful boxer and somehow quite energetic as well. He should turn it on for a round and end this * send him back to his real job.

    I was just thinking that, the size and reach of him must put the fear of * into opponents but he's also very quick for such a giant.

    Bit of an anti-climax but can understand the guy quitting because he was in danger of taking a brutal doing if Fury got serious.

    Can appreciate why folk say AJ could get knocked about by him even though AJ is a totally different class from that wee guy.

    Was entertaining in a circus fashion, never seen anything like it before. He's got a crazy sense of humour.

    Don’t base anything off tonight’s circus :56:
    Yeah mate, Fury has great footwork and works the ring well. If and when he fights AJ, I don’t see AJ landing on him. AJ struggled with Parker at times, he couldn’t land cleanly.

    Canelo blamed it on Mexican meat. Apparently there’s been all sorts of Mexican athletes who have failed tests, it’s due to some sort of meat intoxication epidemic or some pish. But aye, he failed 2 tests !

    No pop from the crowd when it was announced he’d be fighting at Windsor Park.

    Blaming meat, sounds like a lot of bull :giggle1:

    It does look like it will be difficult to land a punch on that giant, his reach is just so long and adding his height and speed to that makes it formidable. I'm still going to be cheering AJ though, much classier for me and he's proven he's got a fighter's spirit and not just a 4 round body builder.

    It has to happen, how long will it take though?

    Very silly fight, it just needed the Benny Hill music played over it.
