    You always post usyk as goat, do I quote you saying we all know your opinion? I will say what I want and who says I have everyone over usyk?

    He's currently 1 or 2 p4p in my opinion, so no, I don't have everyone over him do I? If I had everyone over him he wouldn't be number 1 or 2 on my p4p list

    Strange how Terry can waltz into a world title fight at 140 in his first fight at the weight after departing 135

    Waltz into one at 147 in his first fight at the weight after departing 140

    Waltz into one at 154 in his first fight at 154 after departing 147

    Then do the same for all the belts at 168 in his first fight at the weight after departing 154

    Without ever beating a single fighter in any of those respective weight divisions to ''earn'' his world title shots

    And all of them in his home country and three of them vs foreign opponents who were/are the world champions who brought their titles to his country

    Horn, Madrimov, Clenelo

    He received his world title shot at 140 five months after departing 135

    His one at 147 ten months after departing 140

    His one at 154 eleven months after departing 147

    And his one at 168 also 11 months after departing 154

    But when Usyk invoked that exact same rule Terry has invoked x 3 (and of course Terry receiving a title shot at 168 in addition to that) x 1 to fight AJ after departing CW, whilst having beaten TWO fighters at that weight before he did

    And he didn't receive his shot at AJ for 34 months after departing CW where Terry only had to wait for 36 months in total for 4 separate world title shots

    And Usyk had to fight AJ on a heavily stacked deck in AJ's backyard of 65,000 partisan AJ fans

    And agree to a rematch clause even though he was the mandatory challenger

    Then have to give him a rematch after whooping his ass

    But there was no rematch for Madrimov despite the fact he was the champ, he fought Terry in his country, with a home ref and 2 home judges and one neutral judge, and the fight was razor-close and controversial

    And despite all this people had a problem with Usyk not ''deserving'' or ''earning'' his shot at AJ but not a single peep about Terry waltzing into 4 world title shots at different weights in his home country without having fought a single fighter at any of those weights before receiving world title shots at them

    This is not an attack on Terry but rather on such glaring double standards.

    Anyone can be knocked out but how many slick iron-jawed fighters with excellent defence who have never been floored, let alone stopped or knocked out, and have fought a lot of big punchers and some absolutely murderous punchers x 3, can you recall being KO'd by a supposedly much smaller fighter jumping up 2 weight divisions who has never KO'd anyone in the 3 divisions South of the one they're jumping up to?

    I can't see that happening unless Clenelo is completely shot to bits and even if he is it's still highly unlikely.

    Re. the so called size disparity


    From Terry's own mouth: ''You're supposed to be the bigger man''

    And look at Terry's face here. Not remotely bloated at all. He's huge and solid at this walkaround weight which is about 186lbs

    if he beats canelo, he is the best fighter in the world and the best since pac and floyd. canelo is not prime, but he is still fighting at elite level and a naturally bigger guy. a good 15 lbs by my estimation. given body compositions. no other win by any current fighter can compete with this win.
    sure, bud has looked less than spectacular in some wins. but so have many of the greats. what counts is the mountains they climb, compared to the others hills. when it really counts, he comes loaded for bear.
    personally, i think hes gonna get the beating of his life. but if he pulls it off, im giving the man whats his.

    He's very physically strong for his size and also he's a lot bigger than many believe he is, have long believed he is, and even now are still refusing to believe he is and what their own eyes see

    Even Crawford himself and Bomac who have also been going along with the David vs Goliath narrative can no longer keep the pretence up

    Crawford at 170 is super lean with zero fat on him. Clenelo weighs 178-180 in the ring. Crawford is walking around at a very solid in good shape 186lbs. Even if he comes in 10lbs lighter at 176 he's going to be very lean, meaning the size difference, contrary to the BS narrative, just like the BS narrative regarding Madrimov being the ''much bigger'' man which I said was BS from the start and then was proven right when Crawford weighed more than him in the ring albeit only by a pound, is going to be 2-4lbs and he has a big reach advantage and his 74'' reach is huge factor in both his style and success

    Not my fault your public school system has you afraid reading anything with more than one sentence without pictures and emojis. Forgive me, I thought I was speaking to an actual adult. You are dismissed.
