    Bellew sucks nuts.

    Usyk was happy to drop early rounds because he knew his slow roll pressure would crack Bellew pretty quickly which it did. Problem is when Fury is jabbing in-between his gappy teeth he will have no options to pressure.

    No, Canelo lives/trains out of California but also lives in Mexico. You’re being purposely obtuse here.

    A reasonable person would have replied: “You’re right, Canelo didn’t fight in Russia, Kazakhstan, UK, Turkey, etc.”

    3 beltS HE won off the number 2 HW of the division at the time, former Undisputed CW champion. He's not overrated at all Noel. Well not by me anyways.

    Usyk is certainly a skilled talent and yes he has only had a few fights at Heavyweight but he is still active so only time will tell tbh as the highlight fights are still there for him.

    I guess so. Beating the number 2 guy doesn't mean much.

    That was placing the worm on the hook, and dangling in front of the big scary fish at HW to see if anyone would bite.

    He is the best, or second best Cruiserweight of all time.

    Why would he fight there though. You’re faulting these fighters for making as much money as they can by fighting at these locations. Usyk had to fight outside of the Ukraine for a reason.

    Bud all I said was Usyk went into enemy territory which is risky and you are well aware of that. He very well could have gotten robbed and we saw some suspect cards against him against AJ

    He is going to give Dubois a painful lesson in the sweet science.
