Ali would beat Rico but Rico is a far superior athlete to McCline. I doubt any version of McCline would do anything to Usyk.
He was taller and longer yes but his weight was never much higher than his opponents. He wasn't doing these 25 lbs cuts like fighter today are...
IV rehydration was banned in combat sports because it was a common way to mask previous PED use. It had less to do with the weight cutting aspect...
I agree with that. Ideal format would be: fully no gloves or wraps, emulating the boxing techniques of the turn of the century bare-knuckle...
So are the guys today plus they are weight bullying. Look at Benn.
From a health standpoint bare knuckle is technically safer than gloved boxing. The gloves are worse in relation to sustained sub concussive blows....
I don't think Floyd ever walked around much above 150 lbs and still fought as high as 154. You have guys walking around damn near 180 cutting...
He'd have beaten Haney popped test or not.

Garcia has always been talented but he's also been a self-admitted alcoholic recently. If he can keep his head straight he is legit.
Well put, he deserved to go out on his shield but he was absolutely not making it out of that round regardless.
He's his own worst enemy when he's not focused.
He was legitimately concerned for future Benn's career.
