Comments Thread For: Canelo Genuinely Believes That He Can Beat Usyk, Says Hearn

[Ravensfan]

That's an interesting fight. Both are quite technical. I honestly think Usyk's technical work would be just as good if not better than Canelo and add to that his size/weight advantage and it should favor Usyk. Yet it's not an entirely out of the question fight when you think about it. I just think if people are looking at heavyweight Usyk, they say, he can't punch. People forget at cruiserweight, he had some decent pop. He flattened Toney Bellew. Canelo would probably be in for a surprise.

Uysk also stung Joshua a couple of times.

Hearn is an idiot.....why even make these statements? As soon as statements come out like this then anything less is suddenly going to be underwelming and open the door for weirdos to now start claiming any fight other than Usyk is a duck and/or cherrypick.

If Canelo's intention is indeed to eventually attempt to fight at Heavyweight then mention it to the public when that time comes, not sooner. Very ****** move.

Sure, Canelo believes he beats drained Usyk.

Usyk is a heavyweight now. STFU, ginger, Usyk has no business thinking of you.

[Roadblock]

Canelo is chubby at 175 he would look like a blimp at 200lbs , Roy Jones was 5 inches taller than Canelo and Ruiz was 70% less ability than Ursk, I cant see this getting of the ground its just talk like Eddies million-dollar bet that he pulled out of behind the camera.

Pathetic, just stay at HW and let Canelo come up there to fight you if he's ****** and crazy enough. Stop giving this guy special advantages ****. He already gets the pick the gloves, the venue, how long you get to train for him for, full crowds cheering for him and booing you. If I was advising a fighter I would say do not give canelo one single advantage.

Ppl will bend over for Canelo because he brings the big money.

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

Lol - no way Canelo beats Usyk.

[Verus]

It is more than a bridge too far to think that 5'7" Canelo can handle one of the best heavyweight boxers of the last 10 years. Saul is a great fighter and definitely generates big money fights that benefit hundreds, if not thousands of people, but hey he is human. Who would expect Ray Leonard, Sugar Ray Robinson, or Jake LaMotta to take on heavyweight champions of their era? This is all crazy talk! Let's keep the focus on reality.

Ppl think it’s a crazy idea, but I got Canelo by unanimous robbery

[kushking]

Don’t laugh people. People laughed last time when a natural 160lb’er named Roy Jones Jr did it.
Canelo will EASILY out point Usyk. Easy work. Small men are far too fast for big men.

Thats a bold take if I've ever heard it,but I have learned never to underestimate Canelos moxie

I remember like it was yesterday when Callum Smith was "the boogieman he would never have balls to fight at his weightclass"

The primary requirement of Canelo wrt elite level boxers is that they are not less than 35.
