    Schooled Gassiev 12-0 who has shown nothing but an iron chin so far.
    Beat Hunter comfortably, lost a few rounds, Hunter has been beating top heavies from the amatuers.

    CLOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    probably dont give any modern boxers credit, you big mong!

    Wake me up when Usyk beats someone as good as Tyson or Bowe.

    Gassiev and MIKE HUNTER don't cut it.

    Usyk doesn't have a better resume than Holyfield. Not even close.

    I'm not comparing his HW résumé. Coz if I was Usyk wouldn't even be in the conversation.

    By his logic Tyson Fury should come in at 175lbs

    So every fighter who weighs more on fight night is no longer a fighter in that weight class? For **** sake.
    Every boxer past and present puts on weight after the weigh in. Okay now its usually alot more, because they have alot more time and techniques, i dont agree with it.


    Holyfield was a Heavyweight because he was over 190+ lbs in some of his cruiserweight fights come fight night, i bet you that!!

    Breidis and Gassiev are great talents, you don't think they get in to the ibhof all ready ?? You not think its a bit premature ??

    The Hall of Fame isnt some category that makes one more talented than somebody that isnt yet. Usyk isnt in the HOF yet, but he can still beat anyone currently in it. Same logic with gassiev and Breidis. Hall of fame doesnt always measure talent, but nostalgic, nationalist BS.
