Fury: UK fans don't understand boxing, Johnson a top 5 Heavyweight

[erics44]

I don't even think Kevin Johnson is in the top five heavyweights called Kevin Johnson. There's a fat bloke in my local pub with that name who has a slightly higher punch output after a few jars of stella.

So Briggs moved to England and changed his name?

Allright I admit it, I am old.

I have followed, at great expense, Henry Cooper, Joe Bugner, John Conteh (arguably the best of the lot), Lennox Lewis, David Haye and David Price.

I wouldn't pay two bob to watch Tyson Fury, and his pathetic attempts at hyping up fights are just....

From the eighties onwards the intermediate weights have produced more value, excitement and boxing skill, thankyou nigel, chris, John H, Michael W, Herrol etc. sorry for any I've missed.

No wonder boxing is dying on its feet if dickheads like Fury are in with a shout, just put him in a fairground with Butterbean and have done with it.

is boxing dying on its feet?

i was under the impression there is more money flying around in boxing now than ever, there are also a lot more boxers who have done well out of the sport

boxing is booming

this could also be due to more boxers having the ability to sell a fight
