    Agreed. But I think he should still fight Andrade if he beats Murata and looks good. That kind of fight can only be a “win-win” situation for a 40 year old counting days for retirement.

    You tell on yourself by claiming that Loma outskilled Teo and beat him in a close fight. That's bonkers.

    Problem with the GGG Canelo fights is no one is impartial when they score them. To say 8-4 GGG is laughable.

    My take was GGG won the first one and Canelo won the second fight.

    I like both of them as fighters. Loved GGG in his prime years but lack of activity and competition is frustrating me now.

    As others have said he is winding down now. I had ggg easily winning the first and the second just by a point or two although I can see someone scoring it for Canelo. The problem for GGG is risk and reward. If justice had beeen served by him getting the first win against Canelo then I think there is more incentive to clear the rest of the division as there wouldn't be a lack of confidence regarding judging. To the nuthuggers on here you cannot say all fighters get the same fair treatment because that is bollocks. The likes of Floyd the Klits and Canelo have taken the **** in terms of stacking everything in there favour. The old timers didn't do this they just got in the ring and fought.

    What about Usyk? He's 5 years younger and had less than half the pro fights of GGG. If your reffering to results then the only cash cow Usyk fought was AJ and although I felt Usyk would outpoint Joshua I was not confident he would get the result from the judges. He did because Joshue did very little in the fight. I assure you in the rematch if Joshua does better and at least competative then AJ will get awarded the win.

    No I meant that usyk is old-school. He beat glowacki in Poland and took his title. He beat breidis in Riga and all the others in the backyard. He is as old-school as possible

    Oh I agree mate. Usyk is class he takes the risk every time he goes to someone elses back yard. I just hope they don't screw him over on the Joshua rematch. Usyk makes it difficult by just being better everywhere. i think he causes big problems for Fury who I suspect is praying for a Joshua victory as that is an easier day at the office.

    Tbh I think he stops Joshua late this time. They won't screw cause the fights don't look close at all, especially after he always takes the championship rounds completely for himself.

    I also think he will beat fury in a really close fight. I hope their will be a fair ref and fair judges.

    Well if he stops Joshua then my concern over judges is a moot one. I'm looking forward to it to see if adjustments are made by Joshua but I don't think he has enough time and I consider his problems as mental rather than technical but we will see.

    GGG's elbow were really hurting that night, Canelo was throwing barrages of elbow shots.

    Derevyanchenko is a bad dude and they put Charlo in with him and he passed the test, so i think he would fight GGG.

    With some of your latest threads I'd really recommend you do the same.

    Amateurs wear the same weight gloves as most pros do... Headgear doesn't limit concussions either. Have you ever boxed an amateur fight? I can tell you it's just as rough as a pro fight often, you see a lot more KOs at the lower levels too. It's only in the elites where you get refined point fighters that you see such a dearth of heavy action.
