Hang on? So you saying Briedis is no good? The same Briedis that beat Usyk?
You're a funny man.

Zurdo has more fights, but no wins of note at Cruiserweight at all. Billam-Smith? Please, he's a bodybuilder at best.my god
his CW comp has been bad
His only great win at Light Heavyweight was against Joe Smith, but he got humbled by Bivol.
You're underselling the Briedis win, which wasn't once, he beat Briedis twice.
The rematch victory was underrated (perhaps because he beat Briedis the first time with a double, broken jaw).
Why was it underrated? Because Briedis stalled out the rematch so he could recover and undergo a 8 month camp to get his belt back. He put everything into it, only to get humbled by Opetaia again. Opetaia took him to school, he's a better boxer than puncher, and that's saying a lot.
I'll say this again. Briedis beat Usyk. Don't let that go over your head.
zurdo has 3 straight wins at CW over former world champs...took belts off the last 2..and now is facing a 4th former world champion...much better than going life and death with briedis twice and fighting cannon fodder...even for CW
and i dont know why you keep repeating briedis beating usyk to me
...ive been said that he is the only one to beat usyk but that doesn't excuse the fact opetaia has been champ since 2022 and that's his only notable CW win with all the showcase defenses he's had

The dude Opetia fought looks like he should be fighting at 168.

Not at first, that was all maturation. Tommy wasn't naturally fighting at light heavy early on even with the frame. His run being underrated is spot on.

Ruiz got ruined by the money he made in the Joshua fights...Ruiz had talent..Said he was a problem but his conditioning was his only weak point..he loves food too much
True but my post was more so to highlight the inactivity of the sport. You post these fight anniversary twitter post all the time and I keep help but this “ damn this fight was years ago, yet it was just a couple of fights ago for this fighter.” It’s a damn shame

He came in at 190 on the scales for a 200 pound limit.
The jump from 175 to 200 is a huge gap, he probably can't make 175.

You really think Zurdo has a chance against Jai? lol
