(Edit: Oh boy did this thread age well, it’s easy to see who the real idiots are now- Clenelo fanboys)
If you have Canelo ahead of Usyk then you're just not a serious boxing fan.
Usyk fought and beat the best at cruiserweight at their absolute best:
Briedis
Gassiev
Glowacki
Hunter
Then moves up and dethrones Anthony Joshua to become HW Champion. Now he wants the other champion Tyson Fury.
Ducked no one, didn't need catch-weights, didn't need corrupt judges, didn't need PEDs....
The guy is the real fking deal.
Now Canelo.... let's look at him
Fights shot Kovalev instead of Beterbiev and Bivol
Beats Plant/BJS etc who are B fighters
No Andrade or Benavidez
Now is fighting Makabu the weakest link at cruiserweight
His only two meaningful wins were both controversial
1. Lara (many felt he lost the fight)
2. GGG (dropped belt to duck him, took PEDs, arguably lost 1 or both fights)
Insane scorecards, crazy catch-weights, invents his own weight divisions, positive drug tests, anything you can think of.... this clown has done it.
When you compare Canelo to Usyk, you're comparing a talented but protected media darling, to a true undefeated ATG.
Oleksandr Usyk is the P4P King of Boxing..., no one else comes close.
