He’s not a boxer. He’s an MMA fighter with MMA boxing. Unlike the one dimensional boxer, Usman trains with the possibility of being kicked or taken down. His muscle memory is different. It’s just dumb to compare the 2. Usman only talks boxing to get a payday.

Incredibly generous. Atlas probably doesn’t want to kill any potential paydays in his future. B level? Right now, at his weight, Usman isn’t making it to any televised card UNLESS as a professional opponent / b-side.

Yes. Boxers are much better at boxing than MMA fighters.

OK but if he talks boxing to get a payday, people in boxing will no doubt call him a cunt. is natural.

He only had to comment on it because Marty keeps bringing up boxing.

There are amateurs that would knock Usman out in 1 round.

Such a stupid/pointless thing to say. You don’t here it half as much the other way round. But if any of these top 10 boxers fought B-Level MMA guys they’d probably get taken down and tapped out… Seems too obvious to state.

Usman called out Canelo, he deserves to be told sit down and stfu.

Usman is not a good boxer. He has good reach and ok speed and power for mma. In a boxing ring he’d get destroyed by any experienced boxer

Last I heard Usman wanted a boxing match with Canelo :joy::joy::joy::joy::joy:

No way that an MMA guy who trains in Boxing part time can beat a full time Boxing professional.
The same goes the other way as well.

A boxer stands a better chance of beating a MMA fighter in MMA than the other way around.

His head is the size of a Hot Air Balloon, and has been since he KO’d Masvidal. UFC calling him the best ever bla bla bla. Undeservedly. He has a thin record and has been in trouble in atleast 3 of his few title defenses.

He’s a very good, very well rounded MMA fighter. Not sure if he could even beat Jake Paul in a boxing match, let alone Canelo.

Why are we even grading his talent level in a sport that… isn’t his sport? “Lebron is a C level boxer.”

Is this with or without EPO?

Because Usman challenged Canelo to a boxing match.
