    Who would win?

    I have USyk by KO at cruisers and by decision at light HWs.

    Canelo's upper limit is 168 lbs. He is almost perfect fighter at 160 and 168. Usyk wins at 175 and CW.

    According to Hopkins Canelo could compete even in the Cruisers.

    He becomes slower at 175. We saw it in the Kovalev fight. Canelo will be even slower at CW. Usyk outboxes him badly.

    Usyk is all wrong for Canelo at any weight.
    If Golovkin was able to control Canelo with his jab then a taller guy with a fantastic jab would toy with Canelo.

    When was the last time that Usyk made 175?

    Today it would be such a drain, who knows what he would be able to do?

    Even if they were the same size Usyk has the style to give Canelo problems

    Usyk would have to go from 220ish down to 175,
    That's 45 pounds!

    I guess it depends how much time he gets to cut weight.

    My money is on Usyk @ Cruiserweight, probably at LHW too, depending on how fast he has to cut his weight.

    There isn't a dimension out there where Clenelo can beat Usyk, irrespective of size. Even if Usyk was a SMW and Clenelo was a CW or HW he still boxes the ears off of Concrete Feet Clenelo. Terrible style match up for the ginger toad even with his stacked to heaven deck, his judges in his pocket and his PEDs.

    Lol funny thread. Usyk is not a LHW and at CW he punishes the roid monster.

    Uysk really is a once in a generation talent. Even if he lost every fight from now on he would still be GOAT cruiserweight and formidable heavyweight
