    I would too. Usyk is slick in my book, and looking like an elite fighter, though he can't glide around easily like a smaller man could.

    On the other hand, Wlad was elite and I don't think his style was slick in the traditional sense. It's was more mathematically efficient and imposing than the push/pull of a slick fighter.

      lomachenko and golovkin. maybe rungvasai and usyk. im not classing fighters as elite just cause they pass the eye test, its not happening. you dont necessarily have to be elite to beat B grade opposition.

          Nah... back then, he had Broner as "the boxer with special talent"...

            Wlad looked pretty slick walking into the ring and walking out after destroying all and most of his opposition. Whatever is said can be said but the guy had a slickness about him you won’t find in the traditional sense of the word in boxing.

            His grand stand entrances weren’t cringeworthy like your AB’s walking in and Floyd entering with the circus and little Wayne rapping amongst it all.

              LOL, a year ago you said Loma is the best boxer in the sport and then you picked Rigo (your p4p#1) to beat him then remember your pathetic Linares thread? We had a LOSER leaves town bet and you flaked on it and still post.

              Meanwhile in that last 12 months (since you said Loma is the best boxer) he's been leapfrogged by Canelo who's been given a gift draw and a failed PED test and Spence who's beaten the ghost of Lamont Peterson.

              You are a joke.

                Usyk's movement and slickness for a big guy is so good. He's very smooth in there and seemingly in complete control at all times.

                It's going to be interesting seeing him at Heavyweight. I think he'll do well. Obviously one punch can change anything but I think he's so far ahead that he just might be able to pull off something very special.

                  Spence is a poor mans version of GGG with a darker skin color, some other differences are

                  GGG is in the VADA testing program, Spence doesnt do drug testing.

                  Spence drains himself to fight smaller fighters. GGG does not.

                    and to the TS, your standards arent high at all, ive lost count how many times youve been saying how great crawfords wins are, and youve been hyping up the charlos for nothing lol.
