    Gassiev and Breidis are big punchers. Usyk took decent shots from Breidis but was able to avoid a lot of Gassiev's bombs. I think his chin is decent and with his boxing ability and footwork he will avoid taking big flush shots at HW. That being said, the bigger punchers at HW may hit a bit harder than what he has experienced, although not as much as some people believe.

    I think Usyk will be a force at HW. He has absolutely nothing to fear from Ruiz for example as his own speed and skills nullify fatboy's strengths. Wilder can be outboxed and as long as he avoids the big flush right, which I am sure he can, he can decision or stop Wilder late. Fury may be the most difficult fight stylistically with his height and boxing ability. AJ had weaknesses exposed against Ruiz so I'd like to see the rematch before discounting his chances.

    Canelo #1 bro. Only argument against Canelo is the PED scandal but Canelo looked WAY better in the 2nd fight after being heavily tested, so it's hard for me to take credit away from him.

    Seems awfully solid at cruiserweight for sure. We'll see how well it holds up at Heavy, but based on the way he's performed against guys who have had success up north, there's reason to be optimistic.

    Yes the 1st fight, the second fight isn't questionable.

    And also excellent commentary by Bradley throughout the entire card. I always liked him as a fighter and he adds so much through his commentary.
