Usyk states that Canelo is too small

Well props to Usyk for not weight bullying for clout and a pay day.

Usyk's destiny is a HW showdown with Lawrence Oakley. Imagine, a great CW champion moving up to HW to fight a former CW champion for the heavyweight championship of the world. It would be a historic fight and would go down in history forever.

 

Okolie

 

I think Canelo is naturally about 190.. Usyk about 220.. it's a complete mismatch, even though it would bankroll Usyk millions he knows it's a stupid fight, everyone does and everyone has their ceiling too!

 

Doesn't matter if you're seven times the size of Clenelo. He will plod towards you and loop punches around the guard. Even if you are 800 kilos with a titanium jaw they're gonna pitty patty and be scared of Canelo's super duper counters. Canelos just that good I'm afraid.. Deal with it. P4p. No1

 

You mean Okolie? Usyk will be long gone by the time he steps up to heavy.

As for the Canelo fight, if Usyk were 25, I would say why not? Dumb exhibition. He is 35 and there is no time for this kind of foolishness.

 

AT some point Canelos reach will fail him when trying to do that. Especially against a guy like Usyk who only throw straight shots until he's completely figured out his opponent. I watched a video of somebody praising Canelo in a short clip of him sparing Frank Sanchez talking about how he can do that looping shot while plodding forward even to heavyweights. But in the video Canelo's hook came up a mile short. Canelo is a counter pounter who slips shots and make you pay for it. But against a heavyweight to be able to land his counters he needs to slip to the inside which I haven't seen him do.

Usyk successfully did this vs AJ but Usyk had a lot of experience against larger opponents from his Amateur days. I said a long time ago that Usyk has an easier time with larger opponents because he's better at slipping to the inside and counter than slipping to the outside. This was shown when comparing his fights vs Chisora to AJ. Canelo is the EXACT opposite here. Not only will Canelo have to figure out how to land his looping shots on Usyk who can jab and throw straights from outside Canelos range but Usyk also moves his head off center line when punching. On top of that Usyk would outwork Canelo, On top of that Usyk bring all the utility of a pressure fighter with the mobility that Canelo has trouble with.

 

Canelo can win it if he can remain standing after 12 rounds.

 

A smaller version of Usyk (same size as Canelo) would dominate Canelo. The actual version would knock him out with ease. It’s not fair to Canelo, the size difference is too big. Canelo’s team would try to weight drain him and have a max hydration clause. Usyk would still win but it would be pointless. They have weight classes for a reason and the fights are usually better when fighters fade opponents in their weight class. I wish Canelo would decide on a class and stay there, unify the belts. Jumping up and down, cherry picking the weakest guys at the weight is not something I enjoy watching. A Canelo -Beterbiev or Bivol fight would be much better.

 

They will just tie him to the ropes so he doesn't go down after Usyk lands 1 punch after another

 

Yet when Fury states that Usyk is too small everyone loses their minds!

 

Maybe because Usyk is 200 plus pound man.

 

Prime weight just over 200 pounds. Not that bulked up thing that slapped around the wooden top a few months ago.

Fury is 75 pounds heavier than him, 1 foot taller, 7 inch reach advantage and 10 inches longer.

More than the deficit between Usyk and Roidnelo.

 

Is he wrong? Canelo started his career as 140 lbs. His best weights are 160 and 168 which are much smaller than CW and HW divisions.

 

Usyk knows what he's talking about.
