In all of the mythical match ups involving Mayweather. Can he have the healthy hands and style that he had in the lighter weights , or does he have to have the hands and style that he had when he was at the weight that the mythical fight takes place ? In my opinion it would make a big difference. Early Floyd was a totally different fighter than late Floyd. Night and Day. -
Actually Usyk is all wrong for Mike Tyson. If James Tillis,Mitchell Green, James Smith and Tony Tucker can go the distance with Tyson so can Usyk ! If Buster Douglas can KO Tyson so can Usyk. Tyson's faster ? Did Bread do a computer analysis ? Lol !And he doesn't even mention Usyk is a tremendously mobile Southpaw ! 100 % for Usyk.Comment

I've thought the same thing. Floyd without the hand injuries - Pretty Boy - fought a lot differently than the way Money Mayweather fought. I know some think Mayweather Sr.'s defense first mentality over Uncle Roger's way was what changed Floyd's style. I believe you and I are in the same camp that the style change was done out of necessity.
I think the best mythical match-up for Floyd vs Crawford should be at 135 or 140, not 147. At 147 it would be a much more tactical nip & tuck fight (still a great fight), but at 135 or 140 more of a tactical war.Comment

Nah. All Bonecrusher did was hold the entire fight, scared out of his mind. Tucker had a hold-first mentality as well. And the Tyson that fought Buster Douglas was not the same as the guy he was one or two fights prior bc his outside boxing life finally caught up with him.
Even Bread said Tyson vs Usyk would still be close to 50/50. But, I'm going with Mike. Usyk's lack of inside fighting skills would be difference.Comment

While Breadman gets a lot of fights right, and while Fundora is looking better than ever, I'm rolling with my boy Keith for a KO victory. I think Keith's slickness, great feet, IQ, and punch variety & selection are going to be too much for Sebastian. Thurman is going to need to navigate the early rounds and get the distance right - both the distance between them and the distance of Fundora's chin - and then it's going to be a boxing clinic with a vicious finish.Comment

"But I also think some recency bias is taking place with him"
so ukranians might think their guy is better than he actually is, is that what bread is saying?
does recency bias not exist for every fighter on the planet somewhereComment

"You’ve rightly been praised for being the first one to plant your flag in the ground and pick Terence Crawford over Canelo"
yasus the ball sucking over this comment is getting too much, is bread paying these posters to write in with this lol
plenty of people were picking bud as soon as the fight was announced & i think the poll here was not that far off even in the end, all read bread and changed their minds of courseComment
