Used to think Kamaru Usman could beat Canelo. Now I realize he could never.

I don’t mean in a boxing match. I mean in a street fight, where BJJ could have been used. Last night, I was shocked by Canelo’s movement and speed. He’s very fast for his size. Again, I’m new to boxing but I’m starting to see how much smoother and cleaner it is compared to MMA.

In a street fight of course I’d favour Usman

Although because of his wrestling not his BJJ

It's 2 different sports
I can't use what I've seen from 1 to dictate how he would do against the other.

Truth is I believe ANYONE can beat ANYONE with the correct preparation,
Usman himself became a Black Belt in Jiu Jitsu because his toughest fights came against good grapplers
he literally transformed his capabilities just like that.
I don't know if Usman has ever trained Boxing to a competent level
but he's shown me a freakish ability to learn immensely in a short period of time.

that being said
in a pure Boxing match I will go with Canelo just due to experience
but I don't expect it to be a walk in the park for Canelo regardless how Kamaru comes in.

lol Usman isnt a boxer.

canelo is in his 30s.


you need someone shot like 58 year old holyfield to give the mma guy a chance

In the streets, a boxer would win most of the time. He’s not just going to let himself get taken to the ground.
