    Depends of Usyk's version. Am prime? pro CW prime?

    Usyk usually does prepares for opponent's style and does have good team for this.

    Usyk's main asset was rapid angles change cos despite he had better legs than till vomit overrated Ali from 70 ies version, he was not with Ali from 60 ies legs here. With legs alone for him was not enough.

    Only giving Tua 3 rounds in that fight is nuts.

    Which Tua? The older, fat one everyone seems to only remember, or the younger one with movement and great stamina?

    One of the most overrated boxers on the forum, versus one of the most underrated, currently.

    I'll go with Usyk, and it wasn't a hard decision.

    Chisora? Damn Surrix, he would be tailor-made for Tua! Tua was a one-trick pony, with good head movement. If Chisora tried to bully and invest to the body he would have been put out cold.

    If a one dimensional, one-armed Haye could dominate him Tua would have crucified him.

    As a pro, Tua fought many fighters with much more power than Chisora and not one of them put him down outside of Monte Barret (when Tua should have been retired). Tua continued the fight and proceeded to break Barrets jaw.

    Savon stopped him as an amateur, if that's worth anything to you.

    Too early to say imo. I think Frazier would mess him up.

    Fraizer would destroy Usyk. All wrong, his southpaw stance means he's likely vulnerable to Fraziers counter left hook if he doesn't block and his high guard means his torso would be susceptible to Fraziers body shots and Frazier knows a thing or two about a 15 round gas tank. Its the WOSRT match for Usyk to deal with

    Normally I'd say I'd like to see more from Usyk to see where he stands compared to other fighters, but in this fight I'd pick Usyk. I actually loved Tua and he was one of my favorite heavyweights to watch, but he was also pretty basic. However if he did manage to clip Usyk I'd also be confident he'd be out for the night.

    Usyk is far more skilled than Tua was, he would have boxed his ears off.

    ohhhh! , Tua executes Chisora, and I think Tua is somewhat overrated. Usyk has yet to show he can beat a Tua level heavyweight yet.

    I don't see Chisora being as much of a whole beater as Ibeauchi but that's for another thread.

    chisora would have ko'd tua?

    this is utter garbage.
    there is completely zero evidence that this is possible.
    seriously, i can't believe anybody could think this.
    of all the fighters chisora has lost to or failed to knock out but you think he'd ko tua? lol.
