    It’s close to impossible for Usyk to create a legacy that can challenge Holyfields the opportunities just aren’t there and don’t forget Holyfield was heavyweight champion 3 or 4 times I think, can’t remember but it might be 3 but I can’t see any current heavyweight having the heart or solid popularity to make that possible.

    I don’t think you understand what the term ‘slick’ means. Slick fighters don’t get tagged at will with right hands by Tony Bellew.

    How many clean shots from Dwight Braxton do they eat?

    Did I say Holyfield was slick?

    Lmfao better like how? More crafty, better boxing ability maybe but he is far from Holy’s level. Holyfield proved himself at HW by beating the best and his resume below HW is no joke either.

    Maybe Im blind but I dont see the greatness in Usyk that people rave about.

    Holyfield was an HGH cheat. Usyk is simply a better fighter. Sorry. Evan Fields is always going to come up.

    Those who believe that Haye was better, a guy beaten by super middleweight Carl Thompson, are damned ******ed.

    Usyk is closer to the beginning than the end, but he has already cleared out a very talented young counterweight division. Good luck to him.

    We know what your agenda is. You're not fooling anyone with a brain on here.

    Exactly. The North American boxing establishment doesn't like these guys from the east taking over. They'll discredit them all. Even Lomachenko.

    Explain the Klitschkos being liked and respected in the US also Lennox Lewis

    If Usyk and Lomachenko go on to have great careers they will be well recieved

    No I don't think I do, comrade Bailey. It obviously can't have been the ABAs, though.

    This is absolute gibberish. Someone is not on PEDS because you believe that he must be. There is absolutely no evidence.

    Evan Fields beats Usyk
    Usyk beats Evander Holyfield.
