But yeah all that playing in the corner and sticking his tongue out, trying to be a showman didn't work out well for him this time. I remember him saying Usyk was a "foreigner who don't speak good english", dont' bring no money and that the Heavyweight belts belong in the West. In that same interview, he said he wouldn't fight Usyk even if he beat AJ for the aforementioned reasons. So to your other point about the fights being made, we really have to be thankful for Turki Alalshikh putting up the bread to make these fights happen. We've seen some great ones with many more great ones to come, thanks to that Saudi money.

People are having these p4p debates now. I don't really care who ppl put at the top. Bud said on Twitter that you gotta put respect on Usyk's name for that and that he's no hater, so shout out to Bud. I've long said Crawford is my favorite fighter with Usyk being my 2nd favorite. That hasn't changed for me, but Usyk being 1st on the p4p list is understandable, considering he just beat someone 40 lbs heavier.
