    Usyk would ****ing kill Canelo at cruiserweight, btw. They better book either a hospital bed or a plot at the cemetary.

    at 168, usyk's punch resistance could easily be compromised, especially considering his age.

    Also worth noting that Kovalev changed his mind on going up to cruiser after sparring with Usyk.
    I never said Usyk would beat Canelo in that circumstance, just that even "all things being equal" Usyk is a nightmare style matchup I can think of for Canelo - slick mover, high IQ, incredible stamina, exceptional defense, decent beard.

    At 168 I'd still give Usyk the edge but it's closer to 55/45.

    Yes, but I use ounces not kilograms when weighing my boy.

    Of course, but that was to illustrate the idea of facing him at Cruiser being just mad. If I think Usyk would beat Canelo @168 "nerfed", then obviously then piling all the extra advantages on to Usyk is just gonna be way too lopsided.

    Usyk is the goat CW idiot. This sh*t thread is in my top 5 most idiotic threads list anymore.

    GGG was 170 lbs in the ring vs weight bully ( if we will be really honest ) Jacobs in 182 lbs in the ring.

    Usyk, Huck etc dudes: approx 202-209 lbs in the ring.
    Not ~ 170 lber GGG.

    Civilized ppl does not have any problems to convert measurement units quickly.
    This at first: I had communicated with enough ppl about size and weight by using any of these systems.

    Interestingly no one from approx 32 lads had any problem with this. Yeah, guys from U.S, Canada, France, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Russia, China and so on.
    At 168 lbs?
    U are crazy. With the same success you migh demand from your idol to make 122 lbs for weight ins.

    You idol and your nickname bullshido there is big fun.

    Usyk would die fighting Canelo at 168, I think what was trying to be said is, if Usyk was naturally 168 and not a CW, he would beat Canelo due to stylistic advantages.

    Imagine ( like fans usually assume pro boxing as h2h if to be real ) 200 lbs Clen vs Prime shape Cro Cop:p for h2h not pro boxing.
    Damn, this might be funny to watch.
