Agree, with Inoue. The guy is the total package.
50/50 for me on the this next fight. I think Spence has been winning because of his size and athleticism. But what happens if someone is close to his size and athleticism but has a higher ring IQ?
We shall see.

We saw. Without a doubt, we saw. What a fucking performance from Crawford.

One can't help but notice that almost all boxers have a great body. Do you think they use any nutritional supplements or anything else?

They have trainers and nutritionists, etc. A lot of boxers look that way as they have also lost weight to make the weigh in. Work out like a demon and cut weight and folk look well sculpted. Heavyweights are an exception. Fury is about the least fit looking champion that I’m aware of. Not questioning his fitness, though he generally looks like he’s carrying a bit extra.

I don't judge either. Everyone decides for himself what to do with his body. But very interesting. Just heard a lot of stories about athletes taking various steroids, hormones, etc. I do not claim that everything is without exception, but the boys' bodies are so muscular and embossed that it seems as if they were painted or photoshopped. It just look even a little bit unnatural.

Devin Haney Vs Ryan Carcia coming up next month

I don't think Garcia is in his correct state of mind / has no business inside of a ring

Think Fury got a real chance to win this one. Seemed to me he was playing to the crowd too much last time. Then we'll get a trilogy!

It's hard to pin where Fury is at. He sat out a large chunk of his prime with mental health issues and hasn't fought many of his contemporaries. I think he's on the downswing from all of his wars and fighting light footed with so much extra weight. Usyk is past his physical prime, but the technique and Ukrainian boxing pedigree he brings to heavyweight, as a naturally smaller fighter, will give him longevity, until it doesn't.

I think Fury can win, but I like Usyks odds. If either man has meaningfully slowed or lost their chin, this is where we find out.

I'm not counting Usyk out, he has a really good chance of winning. Especially if Fury has lost a step or hasn't trained properly.
The first fight Fury was boxing pretty well and hurt Usyk. I feel if he can do that all 12 rds he can win. Big if going against someone who doesn't waste punches and is always in shape.
Maybe I just want a trilogy

I'm a bit fatigued of rematches, especially at HW, so that's my bias. The bivol rematch being a major exception.
