    Usyk is a HW. 200+

    HW division is very shallow in talent. How shallow you ask? Joshua lost to an obese fighter and fought like he was against the Hulk in the rematch.

    Wilder as much as I like him only has a punch, that is all. One punch. A freak of nature punch, but that's it!

    Fury, his best win is a shot Wlad and Wilder who has no skills.

    Usyk is great, but if Joshua was able to split his face, other HWs from other era's would split his chin.

    Don't hate Mirko, Makabu is one of the top cruiserweights and the guy can pop, it's a dangerous fight. To put it in perspective, this would be like GGG moving up to 175 and facing Ramirez or Joe Smith Jr and we know that ain't never going to happen.

    Fighters who beat paper champions: Pacquiao

    Fighters who were gifted a title without beating a champion: Pacquiao and Golovkin.

    Why is he not fighting breidies or dorticos? Someone who will put his lights out? No he is fighting like always the weakest one.
    That also speaks for canelos history. He is always cherry picking his opponents and still stacking the complete deck for himself with the judges...

    Makabu is more credible opponent than Chisora and AJ ? Now you are doing what every fanboy should not be doing. just stop.

    You asked why nobody was taking challenges, I said that Usyk took the challenge and beat guys who is naturally 40 pounds heavier than him. don't argue this the facts please.

    But you may think Usyk is nobody, just to make Canelo look better and only one who is fighting naturally bigger guys :bump

    You guys keep moving the goal posts on Canelo.

    Had he picked Dorticos you'd be whining cause he just lost to Breidis, had he picked Breidis you'd be whining that he was fighting a 36 year old man. You're all so predictable.

    David Haye was outweighed by 100 lbs when he fought and beat Nikolai Valuev.

    There's a reason HW is 201 lbs - 1000+ lbs and Super Fly Weight is 115 lbs and Bantamweight is 118 lbs.

    There's at least 3 legitimate good and meaningful fights to make around his own weights.... why skip over them to do this? Makes no sense. Not to mention what it does to coming back down. I don't like this move lol... hope it doesn't happen.

    Beterbiev next please.

    lol but charlo hasnt fought andrade... or benevediz fighting anyone significant... or bivol and beterbiev ducking each other HAHAHA the dudes he shouldnt be fighting aint even fighting other dudes they should be fighting. They nurse their belts and take on weak ass mandatories, but they dont get level as duckers. But when Canelo decides to move up 2 weight classes to fight a dude with a belt, hes all of a sudden ducking. foh.

    If canelo is ever going to fight a top heavyweight, hes the only option due to the lower weight.
