    140 along with 168 was the weakest division in boxing. Cleaning out let's say 175 for example would have been legendary. With guys like Ward, Kovalev, Bivol, Oleksandr, Beterbiev, etc. all being in that division. 140 featured Victor ****ing Postol.

    How many knockdowns were necessary to be “that bad off”? Furthermore what gave you the impression this fight needed to continue?

    This has got to be a silly post here. How can Canelo be p4p when he vacated the belt to wait for GGG to get older? That does not make sense.

    There was like 20 seconds left, and 10 of those could have been eaten up by a count.

    Yeah, he's on his way to doing that now, it takes time to move up and clean out divisions. He already is WC at 147, was unified at 140 and wc at 135.

    No one in this game in their 20's or even early 30's has hofs all over their resume, boxing is just talent deprived atm, it is what it is.

    I love Usyk but that ain't no HOF resume either, although he has immense talent and he can probably be #1 p4p if he continues this path.

    How does beating a guy not ranked in the top 10, who also had a bum knee prove anything?

    Benevidez definitely wasn't a 30-1 underdog for a reason...

    He really wasn't. He was wobbled and hurt. That's why you receive the standing 8 count for Christ's sake. Then the ref asks you are you ok and then you survive for 15 seconds. Maybe take another knockdown and then boom you finished the fight. I don't know why he can't grasp the concept.

    Bs. He vacated to show the WBC had no hold on the superstar of boxing. When pac was number 1 why didn't he fight slick fighters?

    Usyk cleaned out one of the toughest divisions in boxing. He's already HOF.

    Again man silly post. Nobody in their right mind except Golden Boy promotions believed 36 year old GGG who's best win was life and death with Danny Jacobs was p4p.

    And again he vacated the belt for a reason.
