Reality Check Time! Oleksandr Usyk is Still The P4P Number One Fighter On The Planet. This Is Why...

Do me a favour lads. Who’s actually the best SMW in the world rn? If Crawford beats them then I think the discussion is worth it. Until then it’s

1. Uysk
2. Inoue
gap
3. Crawford

 

Heavyweight is from 200 pounds to unlimited, why would any fighter weigh the lowest weight possible for Heavyweight when Cruiserweight is just below and against easier competition.
You're not automatically better nor do the extra pounds matter when you're able to perform at a certain weight at heavyweight, this has been proven countless times in heavyweight boxing history.

 

Exapnding on this… who’s the best rated middleweight?

Even Crawford beating them would make the discussion worthy

 

Also, if anyone is questioning AJ as an A ranked win, (maybe it’s an A- in all honesty) I did a post a little while back, probably a long while back on AJs resume and although it’s not the best era we’ve seen of heavyweight. Far from it, it’s actually pretty damn impressive. Better than Fury’s in fact

 

What are you talking about, David Haye was literally the WBA Champ after beating Valuev who outweight him by 100 pounds. It's a great doe cause of the weight difference.

 

Joshua hasn't had a win against a ranked opponent in over 6 years.

 

HW is the open class. You can weigh whatever you want and fight in the weight class.

 

I'd take Canelo's SMW resume over AJ's HW resume.

 

I think Pulev and Wallin were both ranked as nr 10. But, yeah, his wins since Povetkin haven't been much to write home about.

 

Aj is one of the most overrated heavyweights of all time. He is not elite. He looks the part but all his best wins are damn 40 year olds like lethargic Pulev and ancient Povetkin, while he was smack dab in the middle of his prime. Go and make a list of the ages of ajs opponents compared to Canelos. It won't look good i guarantee it. Chinny, mentally fragile, no gas tank beyond round 7 when the pace is pushed. Aj doesn't have a history of being schooled because all his best wins are has beens and you literally scored Parker Aj in favor or Parker dude, which is funny how much you want to praise him as some A level fighter. The same joshua who fought Usyk got absolutely demolished by Dubois, joshua wasn't past his prime. Even his team admitted he was better than ever before and punching harder than ever, coming off 2 dominant performances against Wallin and Francis right before Dubois blew him away.

Unranked Ruiz beat the crap out of aj and then Andy came in the rematch unmotivated and 20 pounds fatter. Had Ruiz not gained that much dead weight he probably would have stopped aj again. And then all this talk about recent performances and lies and deception, do you not remember Fury scraping by a 37 year old Ngannou on his professional debut and getting dropped twice ? It was a split decision. Fury is an even BIGGER cherrypicker than Alverez and only beat 5 ranked fighters through his whole career.

Canelo ranks higher than both. Better resume, better accomplishments, and he certainly has superior skills to Anthony Joshua of all people. That's not even a debate. Canelo was unbeaten at 168, the undisputed champion and facing numerous contenders. Charlo was the #1 champion at 154lb, bigger than Crawford and Canelo toyed with him, so that adds even more to Crawfords victory

 

That's why it's unlimited, because after a certain weight, more weight is meaningless, it becomes a detriment more than anything. I'm not really sure what's so hard to understand, how long have you been following boxing?

 

Put ut this way, Heavyweights enjoy far more fame and make significantly more money than Cruiserweights do. But few Cruiserweights ever make a serious go at HW and try to take over the division.

Why not if there is so much more fame and fortune? Because its that ****ing hard to move up to HW.
