    A bit of a weight fraud. Someone his height should have been fighting at light heavyweight at least.

    Usyk would have destroyed Canelo at cruiser.

    He was a lot slower at light heavy, and know 6`1 fighter could have fought as well as Hearns did at welter nor could they have out-boxed Benitez at 154, I know Breland couldn`t have done that and no way would Hearns have lost to Starling.

    Youre right he should've been dancing to knockout face first in chilling fashion a ATG who was never knocked out in 90 odd fights.

    I really think there's a stain on Tommy's record because he had to go flat footed to knockout Duran.

    Yes I know that but that was not his natural weight. Being 147lb at 6'1 is borderline anorexic.

    Most athletes his height in an explosive sport would be light heavyweights at the very least, most likely cruiserweight.

    He used his height advantages against much shorter men who actually belonged in those weight classes.
