Wilder was a bit of a spoilt brat after defeat wasn’t he?

 

Fury has really grown on me over the years.

Superb boxer rather than puncher, with a brilliant sense of humour.

Fury , to me , is like a hurking great big Usyk .

I love Fury coz he is a character and has overcome mental issues and has total self belief   

[Mark Bolam]

I combine a few of the combined qualities of Mayweather, Wilder and Fury I think.

 

I’m small, my boxing is poor, and I don’t have a massive punch.

 

👊

Have forgotten Floyd how Floyd Mayweather  ( boxing ) made Conor McGregor ( MMA )  look stupid ?

That's true, however a simple spelling test would make mcgregor look stupid. Not a fan of his attitude either. To be honest I was OK with mayweather taking the wind out of his sails for a while!

I'd consider Katie Taylor a much better ambassador for boxing in Ireland. She has a more respectful nature overall, I think that makes the difference between a good and a great sportsperson.

well just watched the full fight, Wilder had burnt him self out by end of round 6, looking for that big punch but not connecting, fury was out of it in the first 2 rounds then started to come back, wilder down then fury down twice, fury made headway from round 7 and dominated from there, he wore wilder down and then put him down, blood coming out of wilder,s left ear again and bleeding heavy from his mouth, 

Wilder will have to go back to fighting no bodies or better still just retire as he aint lived up to all the hype !! Fury well who is going to stop him ? it wont be AJ or David Haye may be Usky ? but i dont think so,,,

Heavyweight boxing seems to be mostly about two big, sweaty and slightly dazed men having a cuddle. 

 

I just cannot see why it's so popular. I've tried watching the fights, I really have. It's just not elegant or entertaining. 

 

Unless I'm missing something....

You seem to be on your own here but I will offer some support.  Really boxing appeals to one of our most primitive forms of entertainment, much like the gladiators of old, the baying crowds desperate to see bloodshed.  Hopefully we were meant to have advanced in the same way that we stopped having baying crowds at public hangings and feel that putting people in prison with colour TV for life is a better way.  Sport should have advanced to having far less physical contact ,

The web gives these examples

Examples of non-contact sports include cricket, tennis, table tennis, badminton, golf, bowling, bowls, croquet, pool, snooker, bossaball, darts, curling, tug of war, bodybuilding, swimming, diving, gymnastics, sprinting, running, track and field, bicycle race, rowing, freestyle football, footgolf, fistball, tchoukball ...

Of course there is always tree climbing, chainsawing, axe swinging/throwing competitions to keep arbtalkers satisfied!
