When I was younger boxing seemed much more engrossing.
I don't know if 'pay to view' broke the connection ?

It was an historic observation unconnected to this fight.
Will you be watching/interested ?

Anybody find this interesting? I'm pretty sure plenty of people do. I'm pretty sure you don't. |

I guess in the 60/70s when sport appeared on terrestrial channels the audience numbers reached sizes that can only be dreamed of these days.
Boxing, FA Cup, Grand National, the boat race were 'must see' national events.
I suspect 'pay to view' channels broke this audience up.

I will if it's on although I'm expecting a fight which will go the full 12 rounds and end in a points decision so it would probably be better to wait until tomorrow when someone will have edited it into a six-minute highlights video. |

Could very well be so. Neither of them are small lads. Both this far undefeated. What happens when an unstoppable force meets an unmoveable object? |

Classic fighter v boxer .
Will size and reach overcome greater boxing skill ?

Classic fighter v boxer . Will size and reach overcome greater boxing skill ? Rog You and Jane are obviously best placed to comment on size and punching power versus the agility which comes from having a smaller frame. The former seems to have the greater chance of success in my experience.  |

I'm old...Henry Cooper when I was very young(dad brought him home for a cuppa when he got lost in Chester & he was lovely).Joe Bugner & then...John Conteh who I lusted over.Those were the days.There were other boxers such as Chris Eubank,but I never found them interesting.
