With Usyk gone, Fury fading badly, and Itauma exposed, the Cuban Flash has quietly become the most complete heavyweight on the planet.
Moses Itauma got a bit exposed last Saturday for being a bit over rated.
Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, and Deontay are all shot to bits at this point.
Usyk nearly lost to a kickboxer in Rico last time, he is done at the highest level, some notes on Cuban Frank Sanchez;
- The division’s most polished technician with elite Cuban fundamentals
- Made a top undefeated contender look completely ordinary against Richard Torrez recently
- Destroyed an Olympic medalist inside two rounds
- His only loss is to a man now widely considered the division’s best
- Veteran ring IQ that young prospects clearly lack
- Can match anyone’s hand speed while carrying heavier power
- The legends are gone – Usyk retired, Fury faded, Joshua unreliable
- No top name has ever wanted to risk fighting him
- Doesn’t fade late; gets stronger as fights go deeper
- Peaking right as the hype trains derail and the old guard exits
Andy Ruiz is another possible top dog contender and returns on Saturday night as it happens, also.
But back to Sanchez, the guy can box as solidly as any heavy in the division if on form but he needs to be motivated.
Busy and in the gym and not around bad people, this is not solid for Sanchez.
He needs constant focus and to be at work.
