    Yes, he clearly qualified as shot. Lewis vs Vitaly was more past his best and in poor shape imo. That he still managed to beat a prime Vitaly is his greatest achievement imo.

    Can you now give the Olympic gold medalist, undisputed crusierweight champ, unified heavyweight champ, and ATG Oleksandr Usyk his due apology?

    From here-on-in I intend to refer to him as ATGUsyk, and suggest you do the same.

    Honestly, AJ is a relatively slim framed guy himself

    Yes. All those muscles and still ‘only’ 240 at 6’6”. Was 230ish when not as jacked. That’s not a thickset guy at that height. His natural weight is comparable to numerous much shorter heavyweights.

    Yes. I actually think he has an even smaller frame than Wilder, who’s extremely wide in the shoulders. Joshua’s got a very narrow shoulder girdle and not a huge torso either. Wilder just can’t pack any muscle on his legs though, even when he juices out of his eyeballs.

    Norton definitely looked juiced to me. So did Mike Weaver. Not unheard of in those days.

    The slim torso is part of what makes him look so huge. Like, his biceps are almost as wide as his torso. If you step back, he’s a tall, lean guy who got shredded.

    Yes, he’s an averagely lanky guy who’s packed on slabs of muscle all over his body which gives him that monstrous look. Once he retires he’s going to slim down a ton the way Haye did.
