    I'll gladly fight Golovkin. Just don't expect it to last more than ten seconds. Easy retirement payday.

    Lovely retirement being fed through a straw!

    I wouldnt hold it against anyone who would want to avoid GGG, thats looking after your health!

    But making it seem like you want him but then actively avoid him, thats bollox. Canelo has gone down a little bit in my books, he can avoid all he wants but dont make it seem like you want to fight him.

    Uysk will need to step it up if he wants to take on Lebedev and be no1 Cruserweight in the world.

    Absolutely stacked division really with Lebedev, Huck, Drozd, Dorticos, Bellew, Usyk, Glowacki, Briedis and Hernandez is only 31 so young enough to come back out of retirement

    Agreed. Usyk is good boxer. But that's about it. Can punch a bit. Looks to be still very amateurish. Golawki was poor. Didn't fight at all like a champion. I thought the fight was very bland and pedestrian.

    Alvarez is out for the rest of the year with a thumb injury.

    Really? I thought it was a masterclass from Usyk tbh. He's like a bigger Lomachenko. So skilled.

    Looks the best cruiserweight at the moment to me in a stacked division.

    I did get the feeling that he had a lot more in the tank, and if up against it he could explode. I just felt from that fight there was still a very raw and amateurish look off him. Reminds me slightly of Khan. Not a fighter or pro.
