    Opinion of a biased fan. Briedis outlanded Usyk with power shots in 8 of 12 rounds. 8 rounds were only seperated by 3 landed shots and 5 rounds by only 1 shot. Briedis easily outlanded Usyk in power shots and given that half of Usyks landed shots were his pitty pat jab, the fight could have gone either way regardless of location.

    Nope.

    And I said the other day, if you can get this fight against an OK guy for 5 or 10 milion, why not? But the point is, he has said on a few occasions he is not ready to fight Joshua yet. The guy is like 6-3 220 in the ring WHEN HE'S TRYING TO CUT WEIGHT!

    I mean, Dude, is he going to wait for 3 years-younger Joshua to get old like Mayweather did against Paq? (LOL) Again, Holyfield fought two ex heavyweight champs back to back at 26 years old and KOed both. His second and third heavyweight fights.

    I really don't have anything against Usyk, he's a very good fighter, but this fantasy of him being the greatest heavyweight ever is clearly someone else's, not his.

    Holyfield was the very first cruiserweight champion of All Time!

    Usyk would give him hell of problems but I think holyfield beats him too.

    He collected all 4 belts which is highly impressive but when Holyfield was king of the cruisers there were only 3 sanctioning bodies, so there's a difference. But make no mistake, had there been a Wbo title to be won, he certainly would have won it.

    In his 12th pro fight he fought a hall of famer, one of the greatest fights ever.

    I've actually never seen Holyfield fight at cruiser. I was just ****ing with @Birmingham. I also barely know about the history of the crusier division, so I won't even bother arguing against people saying Usyk is the best cruiser of all time.

    Of course he isn't but he is slowly getting in top 10 all time greats. For me he is only 15 fight pro and that isn't much.
