    Agreed - the less known/unknown fighters who need fights to pay their bills. They're suffering real hardship suffering.

    But in the bigger names - I think about Teo Lopez. Think he's been trying to hold down his weight for that fight with Loma. The layoff can't be helping that.

    And Loma for that matter. Maybe the time off is good for his body to heal up, but he's been starting to show signs of age now.

      Losers? Older cats. Manny might be the biggest loser. GGG would probably be #2.

      Winners. As mentioned Keith & GRJ. GRJ is rooting on coronavirus being a annual event I bet. I also think you can put Devin in with the winners cuz this quarantine situation lead to him getting his belt back iirc & a layoff for younger guys will be like water off a ducks ass.

        Fres Oquendo. He’s going to wish he had this year back when he finally gets his court ordered title shot.

          Teofimo Lopez. Last year he was saying that late 2019 was the latest he would fight Lomachenko due to his struggles to make the weight. After the Commey fight the money was so big he decided he would stick around and fight Loma early 2020. With this virus being around it is unlikely we will get this fight until late 2020. Lopez recently said he is weighing just north of 160 which is very worrying considering we are still months away from any boxing. I think he either misses out on a massive legacy defining fight or drains himself to make weight and gets beaten to a pulp with Loma's volume and vicious body shots.

            Whoever isn’t regularly sparring

            Guys who balloon up in weight between fights

            Fighters who already don’t have much time left in their career

                I think the time off could help usyk it gives him time to bulk up a bit if that's what they are going for . I think anything between 210 -220 is perfect for him so u are prolly right

                  I think GGG . He seems to be declining psychically and it will be interesting to see what the deve war took from him. If this lay off goes for a year that may be the difference between the tail end of lil G's prime and shot lil G

                      Wilder. Being cooped up in Quarantine after losing your championship to a crackhead gypsy seems destructive to the mind. Its obvious from his recent public appearances..
