          You have to squint really hard , as if you were facing into the wind on the Mongolian steppes.

            Lennox avoided southpaws for a reason. He hated fighting them in the amateurs and there are sparring stories of him not being able to figure out southpaws and getting whooped by them. Usyk beats Lennox.

              Trinidad bs Fundora would’ve been the most fun to watch out of all of these. Trinidad likely wins with the late stoppage but no way that fight wouldn't have been a barn burner.

                This was a fun article. Thank you. I have to sadly agree with the Barrera and Inoue matchup. Uuuuuugh Naoya is too good

                  Only gonna comment on a couple of them.

                  Lennox UD’s Usyk in a hard fought decision.
                  Roy would stop Bivol in a one sided beatdown.
                  Tito would obliterate Fundora, that would be a brutal KO I think.
                  Barrera would be too big and strong for Inoue and wins a wide UD.

                    After seeing Inoue get dropped and hurt vs guys like Cardenas, Nery etc I think he’s in for a very tough night against Barrera.

                    I think you have to consider 122 was Barrera’s 1st weight class whereas it’s Inoue’s 4th or 5th. I think he’s too small to beat an elite 122 fighter like MAB.

                    I rate Inoue higher P4P but the size disadvantage is just too much IMO.
