    Briedis' punches did have that effect on a HW. He sparked a 250lb Diamond Boy Charr out cold on his face with a single devastating uppercut

    And Briedis is not lacking in the skill department at all. He might not be as skillful as Usyk but the same can be said for virtually every other big man sans maybe Tyson Fury but he's one of the most complete fighters in the sport. Power, speed, boxing ability, footwork and skill, chin, stamina etc. he has it all. His main problem is he's left it to late to move up to HW

    This is true, he has put on weight since then. However, he got bounced up and down of the canvas like a yo-yo by an obese Oliver Hardy lookalike who couldn't even wobble a shot to smithereens 40 y/o Arreola and his chin is far from forged out of iron.

    Briedis more is converted kickboxer rather than am boxer converted into a pro boxer.
    Yeah, Usyk then had speed and agility, am boxing skills advantage vs Briedis and Briedis then was not under Germans while Usyk had Klits and Co etc support. He get fair cards and therefore had won this razor close fight.
    Without chin properly tested cos then prime Usyk was more agile and faster than his opponent in Briedis.

    Usyk has been caught by the likes of Chisora, Majidov, Nistor, Joyce etc. the reason why some think otherwise is because the shots just bounced off of him and they didn't have the reaction they do against fighters with lesser chins. His problem against AJ will be, aside from him being way naturally smaller than him, the later has fast hands and once he gets you hurt he pounces on you with those speedy combinations of his and that's how he finishes most of his opponents.

    Briedis has very good footwork, timing, and speed and he's more a boxer/puncher these days.

    Pro boxing usually is better paid than pro KB in these areas. Not always, still this looks that is some trend.

    There is no context, the statement is quite clear with no room for interpretation. The knockout win always beats the points win as said so by yourself. Fury’s best win therefore is overshadowed by Joshua’s.

    Usyk is one of the most skilled boxers in the fight game, he throws a lot of shots which is why he gets caught.

    In the beginning. Then Wlad absolutely outclasswd him and destroyed him in 5. Saying Pulev was garbage makes it worse for Aj because Aj took 9 rounds to take out a past it Pulev

    Pulev is awkward and cagey,I don`t Fury could stop him, AJ would stop Wallin.

    Not really a good argument. Fury isn't a huge puncher so no i wouldn't favor him to stop Pulev in dominating fashion.

    To be fair it should have been over in the 2nd round when pulev turned his back.

    Nah that should just be considered a knockdown. Not reason to end it there if Pulev wanted to keep going after that
