haha - massive digression - but top marks for philosophy lesson and managing to bracket Wilder, Trump and Musk. Musk may be autistic, he may be odious but he must have something about him to have arrived where he is.

Having a supreme confidence in your own ability is a prerequisite for...

[SteveM]

He'll get in - because those who choose have different evaluations than yours. The HOF is watered down now but still only the 'best' get in...

[SteveM]

I totally agree that he wasn't an elite boxer - although not bad either - he had an ok jab and a decent left hook.
on your point about focusing - yes, the mental tenacity to stay focused for a split second opportunity when youre being out-boxed does indeed indicate great focus or concentration...

[SteveM]

He'll at least be on the ballot for HOF and probably elected. Is Michael Grant? I don't think so - maybe he is, but doubt it....

[SteveM]

And finally - don't be surprised if he even struggles this weekend - he should win by ko - but if he gets hit clean he could collapse in a heap

[SteveM]

Oh .... btw .... get ready to vent again when he's nominated for the HOF -- he has a strong 'Fame' component. in ten years time - many will still remember his trademark 'Bombsquad' war cry (as cheesy as it was)

In 25 years time, people will still be talking about the 12th round of Fury-Wilder...

[SteveM]

Thought not.
1/ Focus
2/ Timing
3/ Power...

[SteveM]

I'm not saying that all his opponents were bums - that's very disrespectful to both Wilder and his opponents - what he had was THREE elite abilities , not just one. Can you name them or are you just here to jump on somebody at the end of their career?...

[SteveM]

You think Canelo has personality?...

[SteveM]

You can get Dubois at 4-1 - that's great value - no risk it, no biscuit.

[SteveM]

except the other Joe hasn't used any multipliers yet...

[SteveM]

I don't believe that's true - there's loads of angles to hit but there not being interviewed enough.
Interview Bam Rodriguez
Interview Wilder ffs - biggest recent US star ie last 15 years - ask him what he did wrong in Fury fights - we all think we know what he did wrong but what does...

[SteveM]

Owen Lewis - you missed out the most important news > Turki is offering an unspecified KO bonus in this fight !!! No more Tom and Jerry fights

[SteveM]

As always the truth is somewhere in the middle - Sor Rungvisai and Estrada were definitely post prime and Cuadras was washed but they all came to fight and Bam destroyed them. You have to look at where the opponent was in his career and how they were beaten.
Nakatani is just 27 - a win over him...

[SteveM]

Good article!
OK - here's a question. Who of "the too soon to tell" class is 1/2 wins away from getting in?
I really think Dubois will beat Usyk this time (which to be fair Eric said).
Also Nakatani will likely fight Inoue in 2 fghts. Whether he can win might depend on how...

[SteveM]

It wouldn't be TR's preference to not have a new deal lined up. That says a lot about the state of boxing in the USA while it is thriving in Japan, Australia and the UK,
There is a willingness of US broadcasters to get into boxing when they see attractive matchups eg Bud vs Canelo. My take is...

[SteveM]

Don't go into promoting - you'd be broke and you'd be a goat in a sinking boat - especially if charging just £50/ticket....
