He's just not that good.

How good is Tim Tszyu? He demolished Jeff Horn, who beat Manny Pacquaio,, and made quick work of his opponent on Wednesday night.

- Dmitry Bivol looks awesome to eye test, just doesn't quite have the wins. Few other young guys who I expect to make the list in a couple of years.
- Mairis Briedis unlucky to miss out considering just the one very close loss to Usyk.
- Yes Lomachenko stays that high. Dude has been dominating everyone two weight classes above his natural weight, one close loss doesn't change that. No I don't have to put Teofimo above him.
- Usyk took all the marbles in a very tough division at Cruiserweight - guys like Briedis and Gassiev would likely be very good heavyweights, and Michael Hunter is proving that.
- Inoue nothing needs to be said dude is outrageous
- GGG is still the most competitive fight Clenelo had
- Spence is higher than Crawford because he's beaten better guys.
- AJ and Fury could possibly be on the edges. They're slightly underrated when it comes to pound for pound. Both have wins over Klitchko. AJ also has multiple wins over other top heavyweights.

Dazn pretty much creamed themselves over Ryan Garcia tonight.
It was a nice punch to get Campbell out of their, but the likes of Lopez and Tank will be gagging to fight him ASAP.
I'd advise Garcia to steer clear of that sort of fighter for now as he was so hittable tonight, but those dudes will want that massive day!

The Daniel Kinehan story finally seems to be picking up some coverage with Joe Bloggs . Boxing has always been carny but even still the role of Kinehan in it is really grim.
A reminder that while Fury has good PR people and obviously has charisma he's far from perfect. His close friendship with Kinehan really reflects poorly on him.
Should also add that BJS going on defense las week again proved he is the biggest scumbag in boxing, praying that Canelo does not give him the payday he craves.
The documentary which aired on BBC1 focusing on MTK, Fury, Mc Guigan etc.

It really amazes me how much of a pass Fury gets. It's unbelievable to me that he's managed to maneuver his "Depression" story to somehow getting a voice as a face of mental health.
Step 1. Get busted for using PEDs,
Step 2. Take 2 years off while you sue the crap out of anyone bringing the story public
Step 3. Spend most of your time in backwater Eastern European countries (because you're a gypsy...obviously)
Step 4. Fight in the US where you're no longer subject to year round testing from UKAD
Step 5. Put on about 40lbs of lean-ish muscle and beat the crap out of a top heavyweight.
Step 6. Sell your "inspirational" story as a weight loss and mental health battle
Step 7. Profit $$$
The dude is an absolute PR genius

A real hiding for Josh Warrington. Fighting these little Mexicans is always risky.

He will need a long time to recover from that , should have been stopped earlier.
Their was a dismal decision even by UK standards in a previous fight which benefited a Hearn prodigy over a gritty veteran. Shocked I know
Even Hearn was raging

Bang average.
Annoyingly if I had opposed all these UK hype jobs last few months would be swimming in money. Kelly went off at 1.66 in the UK. Not impressive.
I watched this in the background while working etc, easy win for Otto. Unsure what his ceiling is, he is decent but should be blasting out a bum like Dominic in 2021.

There’s a new Sky documentary this week about the rivalry between Bruno and Tyson. I know Harry Carpenter almost wet himself when Bruno caught Tyson with a half decent punch, but in terms of rivalry it was a complete mismatch.
