Boxing Greats
While there are literally dozens of weight classes in modern boxing, most boxers competed in several different divisions during their lifetimes. To provide you with inspiration for what to look for in fighters, here's a - unranked! - list of all-time boxing greats:
- Oscar de la Hoya for example fought at welterweight, lightweight and light-middleweight. And to give you an idea of how good the man was, 50 % of this losses were to all-time greats such as Pacquiao, Mayweather Jr. or Mosley.
- Floyd Mayweather Jr. fought mostly at lightweight and welterweight and is by now touted as one of the biggest boxers to ever fight in the sport. With a record of 50 - 0, his defensive style has endured the test of boxers like Pacquiao or Mosley.
- The first African-American heavyweight champion Jack Johnson was an inspiration to dozens of fighters throughout the 20th century. Muhammed Ali revered him. The man still boxed at age 53. Fought for millions in today's money. Absolute madlad.
- Evander Holyfield of course is mostly known for missing parts of his ear nowadays, courtesy of a certain Mr. Tyson. Mostly mocked for being fed average fighters early in his career, it was his heavyweight stint that made him the most money. One might note, however, that during that time even his traps had little biceps of their own. Make of that what you will.
- George Foreman was an absolute knock-out artist in his day. While his career is overshadowed by his loss to Ali, he nevertheless kept his wins by K.O. at more than 80 %. You owe it to yourself to watch some of his fights, the man behind the grill was an absolute spectacle to behold.
- Manny Pacquiao might just be modern boxing's renaissance man. Boxing at lightweight and bantamweight, playing professional basketball and becoming a politician in the Philippines all before the age of 50. Most importantly, he shaped the careers of countless boxers of his weight classes simply by being the indomitable obstacle for them that he was.
- Jack Dempsey was one of the biggest influences on Mike Tyson. Literally fighting for food, the man showed ferocity and ruthlessness on a level not seen until the 1980s.
- Muhammad Ali needs no introduction. The man to stand up to conscription and racial discrimination while basically freestyling on talk shows. Watch his fights, watch his speeches, watch other boxers talk about him.
- Mike Tyson also needs no further introduction. While he seems relaxed and more at peace with himself today, the young Tyson was perhaps the most deadly boxer ever to step into the ring. Watching his fights in the 1980s makes some top fighters today seem sluggish and uninspired.
- Duke McKenzie achieved the rare feat of losing a title, then going up weight classes and winning the title there. In 1993 he had won his fourth belt in four different divisions.
- Sir Henry Cooper was perhaps the man to make Ali bleed the most. Maybe not bleed per se but certainly made him shut up for a while. While he technically lost both fights due to stoppage, nobody watching those fights would call Ali the clear winner there. Listen Ali talk about Cooper afterwards for a treat!
- Zaseem Hamed ever only suffered one loss throughout his career, at that one came at the tail of cutting weight like crazy.
- Lennox Lewis is a three-time world champion with several Olympic gold medals to boot. He cut up Vitali Klitschko so bad in 2003 the latter required 60 stitches to hold his face together.
- The Klitschko brothers together won basically every title the world of heavyweight boxing has to offer. Nowadays they are politicians and the videos of them trying to de-escalate parliamentary turmoil should be required watching in schools everywhere.
- Deontay Wilder sports a knock-out percentage of 97 % and is perhaps the most dominant heavyweight boxer of the era - if it weren't for Tyson Fury being able to reincarnate during fights.
- Tyson Fury is perhaps the face of heavyweight boxing in our times. His awkward frame, personal issues and dumbfounding fighting style make each of his fights must-sees.
Upcoming bouts
Deontay Wilder will fight Robert Helenius in October, same as Devin Haney vs. George Kambosos Jr. In Birmingham later the same month Tyson Fury’s first cousin, Hughie Fury will have to prove his worth against Michael Hunter.
Boxing Odds & Betting
Every undercut bout, world title fight or title eliminator fight that occurs within the world of boxing is a thrill ride. In a similar vein, we also aim to provide only the best betting odds and markets the sport has to offer, for all our boxing loving players, be it pre-match or live via our live centre. One of the most popular betting markets for boxing is the classic winner bet. Simple, decisive, to the point - choose a boxer you think will win and that's that. It is as easy as it gets and yet is one of the most popular choices among boxing bets. Even if it may seem difficult to see the value in just picking your fighter, especially betting when certain matchups seem very one-sided on paper and the odds reflecting just that. There is value to be had here if your picks are put together in an accumulator or combi bet. Picking multiple other bouts to add to your overall boxing bet to get greater odds and even greater spoils.
Other popular betting picks are round betting markets. Round betting, while very specific in nature, allows you to bet on which round you think the fight ends in, on top of betting who'll be the fighter to end it. Round group betting, comparatively, is less specific. This means you can place a boxing bet on a group of rounds and decide which boxer is going to win those specific rounds. There is also always space for us to expand our boxing betting options, perhaps a chance for both fighters to lose points due to deduction if you think it's going to be a dirty bout, or which round the match is going to end due to a knockout? The options are endless, and we want to give our players only the very best experience when it comes to boxing!
