    Never heard of Rico Suave or whatever and can't be asked to watch his stuff but for anyone more in the know about him and his sport how good is he likely in boxing based off of his hand game? does he as a barometer likely lose or beat David Allen?

    I'd back Allen all day
    Rico has a knock out ratio of around 29 % so he ain't banging Allen out

    Jake Paul vs Rico is a closer bout than Usyk vs Rico, hope this helps

    Idk about that. Rico would totally clown Paul in any combat sport. He's 6'5+ 250 lb+ super athlete who is the best of the best in his own world. He's also trained with top boxers and trainers before Paul even picked up a pair of gloves.

    Yeah, no question. Compared to Usyk -- who shouldn't be fighting him -- Rico's a tomato can. But against a fraud like Joke Paul, he's world class.

    As to the thread subject, Dave Allen destroys him. Knocks him out cold.

    It isn't though. The gap between Rico and Paul is much more vast you than realize.

    I think the gap between Rico and Usyk is much more vast than you realize also.

    Agreed.

    And I don't know about that. It's certainly not impossible. But Rico is a winner. Dave Allen has come up short in almost every important fight of his career. They have completely different mentalities and Ricos athleticism, winners mentality would probably carry him to a comfortable win on the cards. Rico is probably European level/fringe world. You guys are forgetting how tough kickboxers are. Especially HW they tend to adapt very quickly to the boxing game... and Rico has been sparring with elite boxers for quite some time.

    Did I ever say the gap wasn't vast and isn't there? Obviously it is. You're just selling Rico short and giving that clown more credit than he actually deserves.

    Is that Dave Allen the sadly departed Irish comedian?

    Rico vs Usyk is a ****, undefendable fight but Rico would beat Allen.
