Usyk.

Really ? :maybe:
Surely Parker/Kabayel/DDD at least..? no ?
I think he beats them all except Usyk now and Usyk in 18 months.
:lol: Far too early to say

Well, he might...
Usyk will be 40, Moses will be 22 and 20-0.

Behave.
We'll see. He was at least holding his own with pro world champions in sparring when he was 16. He's the business.

For a Featherweight McGregor is slow as hell. He won't win this fight, and he has no future in the sport at the top level.

Might be a good time to put Itauma in there with Dave Allen.

Ok so Johnny Fisher couldn't get it done. Let him show what a real prospect does to Dave Allen.

Dave has already said Itauma is way too good for him and that he won't fight him.

Dave is very aware of how good he is and isn't.
Great boxing IQ - he's a very good picker and he mentions his level and who he can and can't beat in pretty much every interview.

I could just see it early. For a Featherweight he was dreadfully slow, and Featherweight is a weight class where speed is a must.

Enjoyed that Collins performance, looked really sharp and picked his shots well from the offset. Made McGregor look quite pedestrian in truth, fair play :TU:

Kod in 4 and down 3 times. Well past his peak which is always sad to see when they haven't achieved what they could have.

Haha. It's like when you watch YouTube, click on the thing near the top of the screen and the video appears in a small window at the bottom of the screen, so you can watch it while using another web page.
