Although it's only us oldies who remember it the Ali/ Frazier/Forman period also had people like..Ken Norton, James Ellis and Jimmy Young who in other times would have been stars of boxing.
Agreed. Ironically, without boxing, there would be a tonne more violence, deaths, murderers etc. My opinion ofcourse, I know stats back a lot up, but I think it would be a darker world without these (in particular) young men being able to go somewhere, feel safe, get fit, confident, learn discipline, vent their trauma in a meaningful way as lot cant just sit in front of a therapist and talk unfortunately.
100%. We went from David Haye and his poorly toe failing to back up his big mouth against Wlad, to Fury and then Joshua putting him to bed. British heavyweight boxing’s greatest era.
Definitely. I remember the excitement around Haye after years of terrible Klitschko opponents. He was the ‘saviour’!
