    Oleksandr Usyk is worth 4 million dollars.

    25 mil is plenty to convince Usyk to go back to his weight from three years ago.

    Maybe he doesn’t know it was fixed. He thinks he wins for real.

    I actually have seen several Canelo fans legitimately say that they want him to fight Fury.

    Clenelo when asked if he'd fight Spence at a catch-weight of 164 :facepalm:

    Granted Spence is clouting chasing but this supposed MW won't concede to 4lbs but he wants Usyk to drop 20lb. Hopefully Usyk will be back up to 220 pounds or so for the rematch because he looks ill after having lost all that weight.

    The fact we have some fanboys entertaining the idea is beyond me. Not only is Usyk significantly bigger than Canelo but he's significantly more skilled

    It sounds as though you believe Canelo has a chance. But it's clear Usyk would Dismantle Canelo, and it will be even more clear after the Bivol fight. This would not be competitive. If Canelo wants that fight then so be it.

    The reason I'm a Canelo fan is because he challenges himself.

    Obviously he would likely lose, but Canelo is a student of the sport, very disciplined, and very talented. You can't ever count Canelo out.

    Canelo's hubris is on another level these days and Eddie Hearn is acting like the ultimate fluffer for him.

    Three and a half years ago Usyk looked very fit weighing in below 200 lbs.

    Ever since he discovered Chicharrones he's looked very pudgy. If Usyk lays off the Pork rines I'm sure he can make 201.

    Canelo really daring to be great but let’s be honest, Usyk batters him at that weight. He’d have more chance dragging AJ down to 201lb and fighting him LOL

    It would be more legit than manny fighting skeleton Oscar who hadn't made ww in 7 plus years

    Usyk was a Cruiser only a few years ago. Also the height and reach advantage would be ridiculous

    Canelo gets so much hate on here, but the guy has guts

    He is well on his way to being an atg
