    Oh right of course. It is just that guys misinterpreted this thread that I created, which was asking the same question but re: making just under 200/modern CW with day before weigh-ins.

    I'm going w guys that fought at 200 and under near their primes ... Louis and Johnson had the best shot .. remember Jack was 192 when he won the title vs Burns .. Usyk is upon there w anyone in my opinion ..

    That is a defensible opinion man!
    Although I see no reason why a Tyson or Ali could not be fresh with day before weigh ins.
    Dempsey is not as good in my opinion, Johnson with the distinct defensive grappling oriented style would not likely be as good as a Louis-or Usyk.
