    You low-key want this fight to happen just so Usyk can have another easy fight and because he would beat Benavidez badly

    Kellerman is insufferable

    Wished he'd stayed away from the sport

    Me too. I think he's somehow managed to become even more insufferable than before

    Your armchair psychoanalysis has floored me, Sigmund Floyd

    I've been quite clear what I want Usyk to do, genius: Retire and if not fight Fabio or Kabayel after Rico then retire or Kabayel and Fabio and then retire. I don't even think Rico is as ''easy'' a fight as people think and I don't think there are many ''easy'' fights out there for Usyk at 40 y/o what with anyone he does so, including Benavidez, being tag-team partners with Father Time

    That's a fact

    Willing to shill more than ever for Turki's dollar

    Since he purchased the Ring and all that comes with it, the IP is just a complete and utter shill fest

    Yeah. I can't even remember what card it was now (I think it was the first one he worked in the commentary box since his return) and he was absolutely unbearable all night

    Usyk is way bigger than David , his frame and muscle is much thicker, plus he has the skill to back it up. David is barely a cruiser let alone a HW.

    Zurdo is barely smaller than Usyk, was always very durable. Yet, every time Benavidez hit him with a power shot, you could see how bad it hurt him. The power carried, skinny arms or no.

    Zurdo had for years grown into a smaller heavyweight who water cut to fight at cruiser. Look at his arms and shoulders compared to Benavidez. Zurdo is huge in comparison. Much closer to Usyk.

    It's amazing how often this sort of thing has come up in Usyk's career. First, Andre Ward was going to come out of retirement to fight him. Then, a Canelo fight was being teased. Of course, Beterbiev, which is the one that made sense since they were amateur rivals. Also, Bivol's name has been mentioned, mostly amongst fans. Now this.

    Why do people want to find middleweights and LHWs to fight the giant killer?

    If hes that confident in Benavidez, why not set the fight up with matching him with Wilder and then with AJ first?

    How does jumping straight to Usyk make any sense.

    If hes good enough to compete with Usyk, he should be able to beat Wilder, which would set up a big fight with AJ. Then if he beats AJ, an Usyk fight is not only a bigger fight its a more legitimate fight.

    Turki seems to just be going all in on circus fights at this point though.

    Why not? None of these giants have been able to improve on Breidis performance against Usyk despite all their size.

    Briedis started out at heavy and only dropped because he couldn't get fights.
