    Usyk. More versatile, better athlete. Tunney keeps it competitive for 6 or 7 rounds but Usyk's class and versatility begin to take over. Possibility that he stops him late as Tunney has no answers to a guy who won't follow in straight lines and is rarely there to be countered.

    Gene Tunney 170 pound guy who fought mostly small guys. Usyk a 200 pound guy who fought mostly guys that size. Gene Tunney fought in a era where the skills were inferior to modern fighters. Usky is as modern fighter. Usyk by early round knockout.

    Hercules is white. So I don't know what black Hercules is suppose to mean. Lol also Gene Tunney weighed 170 pounds for the vast majority of his career casual fan. He bulked up to 180 then 190 for one fight toward the end of his career. You are so much of a casual fan that you aren't even smart enough to find this online.

    Why am I even wasting my time typing to you casual? Go back to believing 180 pound club fighter Marciano could beat guys like like Lennox Lewis. Go back to believing 170 pound guys like Tunney could beat George Foreman. Keep believing silly stuff you heard somebody on TV say. But you bore me so be a dear and stop typing to like I am done typing to you.

    Right and then you realize who cares how long Usyk been around. He is still the larger man. Also it isn't a personal opinion it is a fact. Boxers doing that era were far inferior in skill compared to modern fighters. Even if Usyk and club fighter Tunney were the same size Usyk would still destroying him because of skills alone.

    LMAO. Usyk, the slow starter who gave several rounds to Bellew, is going to suddenly transform and quickly KO the guy who got up from 6 of Dempsey's shots, and recovered with way less protection than a modern fighter after a knock down.

    I don't know how Usyk is the real deal of anything. He would win because he is bigger and his style is modern.

    Um he still weighed in the 170s most of his career like I said. He weighed over 180 for maybe 7 or 8 bouts out of his 60 plus pro bouts. The funny thing is nobody asked you to respond to me and after this comment I won't respond to anything else you type.
