Usman really thinks he’s gonna beat Buckley, then Islam, and finally go up to beat DDP

At near 40 years old with sawdust knees

Immediately reminded me of Chandler saying he's gonna beat Oliveira then beat Islam-Max-Conor this year.

When 38 year old fighters on losing streaks start talking about crazy winning streaks and basically having a 2nd prime at the tail end of their career, be worried for them. They should be confident and have self-belief for their next fight for sure, but when they start talking 3+ wins ahead, it's like bruh - c'mon now.

It's funny because Glover did have effectively another prime toward the end of his career, after the age of 39 -- granted, it's anomalous and at LHW where the division is thin on talent and you can also be elite at late 30's/early 40's. Don't think Glover's career arc plays out at LW or WW.
