    I didn't know that heavyweights were exclusively "obese wind bags". I must have been dreaming about all of those great bouts that I thought I had seen. There's a reason why the heavyweight title is arguably the most prestigious title in sport.

    I have nothing against the lighter weight divisions, but tiny little men is just something I am so far removed from. I just don't find watching two men who are the weight I was when I was 11 years old that interesting.

    Usyk isn't in the same league as Lomachenko in skills.

    Just yanking your chain a bit. I know the heavy weight division is what boxing is all about.

    Loma can make 126. Spence and Bud are weight bullies, they get as big as they can and use weight cutting techniques. So a guy struggling to make 147 vs a guy who can make 126. Think about that size discrepancy. If Loma was almost Bud's size he would tear him a new ass hole. Unfortunately he is way smaller and can't prove it.

    Loma sits down on his punches more often but besides that both are southpaws with crafty footwork. And Loma has the unusual ability to mentally wreck his opponents which Usyk doesn't seem to have. :boxing1
