    Usyk has achieved more in 1/4 of the fights. Didn't have to wait for most of his best wins to hit the wrong side of 30 either or get caught with PEDs.

    Usyk will be lucky to unify a very weak HW division, possibly the weakest in the history of boxing.

    To make this flight workable, Charlo should fight someone like Plant to legitimise himself at 168

    I've always said I thought Big Twin could beat Canelo...................but that was a still active, prime, peak health Jermall.

    This is kinda silly as a fight smh

    Not to argue over resumes on controversies, but that´s a bad comparison to make.
    Usyk turned pro at the age of 26. He was an Olympic gold medalist who signed with a powerful promoter and got fast tracked to a title.

    Canelo was a nobody who at the age of 18 had nearly 30 official fights under his belt. It´s not a valid comparison.

    Both guys actually stand out in their own rights.

    I don't get it. People said he should stop picking on guys in weight classes below his after he beat Jermell, then contemplating on a possible Crawford or Munguia. Now that Canelo has gone back to fighting 168 guys they're still finding something to complain over.

    Well why don't the haters just hop in the ring with Canelo since they have something to prove?

    What 168er are you talking about? Jermall fights at 160. Hence being the smaller guy.

    Jermall has had once fight at 168, his last one. And it was a catchweight match. Oh, and he fought Benavidez Jr. who competed at 160 and 154 in his last 3 fights.
    Munguia is going to have his second fight at the weight, and this time vs an actual top 10 contender.

    I can get down to 168 for the right price and Jermall only has one more fight than me at the weight. Send the contract.

    He has never fought professionally at 168. He fought a catch weight 163 against Benavidez

    Speaking of Munguia. Another “small” guy clearly bigger than the “bigger” guy.

    Jermall couldn't even make the catchweight. Of all the things that can be used to criticize Jermall, his size isn't one of them.

    Canelo is very quickly becoming a joke.
