    Yep. See Pac-Margarito. That was a savage fight and Pac was hurt badly to the head and body despite winning 11 rounds. Took something out of him fighting a guy 17 pounds heavier who was also not only much bigger, but iron-jawed and had a non-stop motor.

    I'm not sure but I'm leaning towards no, Makabu may be big but he sucks. There's a reason why out of all the cruiser champs, Canelo wanted Makabu

    Both Makabu and Mchunu beat Clenelo EASILY. Not sure if THEY would get a decision though. Bivol at least has some big ties with Hearn. They would screw those Africans in Vegas for sure.

    Makabu would probably KO Clenelo with that straight left though.

    Clenelo has no chance against any half decent Cruiserweight.

    Stop feeding the narrative Clenelo can win a fight at CW. Not gonna happen. At least not agains the top guys.
