IMHO, Usyk vs Fury 2 and Bivol vs Beterbiev 2 were -even- better performances than Bud's

    Pretty much this.

    As I think they fought even tougher opposition:
    Fury's sheer size difference and Biev's ability to march you down with his insane power even hitting gloves (as happened in the 1st).

    Even Usyk - Dubois 2 has a case, though it seems now DD is a can because Usyk did easy work.
    Remember what he did to AJ.

    Sorry for the bump.

    I'm interested in your opinions.

    Fury is better than Canelo
    Usyk is better than Crawford
    Crawford is better than Canelo

    As far as the Usyk part goes, I completely agree with the OP.

    Usyk's performances over super-heavyweights > Crawford's close decision over a faded, slow-footed Canelo.

    Bivol's performance was great too, but I do think Beterbiev is starting to fade with age.

    Id like to have seen the Beterbiev v Bivol fights happen a few years earlier than they did but I suppose at least we did get to see them fight eventually .
