I also don't want to disrespect your opinion, Usyk is an amazing fighter and I can't be mad at you marveling at his skills. I just think that Conn was at least equally impressive in terms of skills. Of course Usyk is more dangerous H2H because of his size advantage. I agree, regadless of tonight performance Usyk is an all-time great.
Usyk is more mobile, better boxer, physically stronger, better off the backfoot, more versatile better at manoeuvring opponents into positions that suit him, he would dominate him
Well said. Usyk beats him. He's a bit bigger and more skilled, moves too well for Louis. Louis will only do very well against boxers that stand in front of him, but Usyk is elusive.
Whenever he faced a good mover (Jersey Joe Walcott, Billy Conn), he had trouble. Usyk is better than those guys, considering his physical advantages.
It's ironic that Louis critics always ignore all the movers Louis dominated. Louis beat all movers he faced, while the only loss in his prime was against a fighter that standed in front of him.
Lol, ok. Watch film of both. Conn is very basic but was ahead of his time back then. He just works behind a basic 1, 2 which again, if you know boxing you would plainly see. He is as conventional as as it gets. Uysk, is a very unconventional guy that throws incredible combinations from odd angles. Watch film and you will see a guy in Uysk that throws combos that you simply don't see from heavyweights.
This thread reminds me an awful lot of a song that Bing Crosby recorded but didn't release in 1931: ♪ Two big boobies, one for me, one for brother Sam When I go to the booby tree, I see a big, fat ole man ♪ Many interpretations exist from symbolism to early genderqueer themes. But, despite the fact that Youtube has the snippets of audio from the jam session, he still never released it and we don't even know who wrote the lyrics. But a mystery and a wonder. Much like Usyk and Louis.
You can DM/PM me for a full copy of the lyrics, of course. I don't want to derail the thread with a musical discussion. I'm only using the singular power analogy to talk about the fight.
I'm going to go out on a limb here. The 92 in your name is your birth year which puts you at 20 years old. If that's the case, I have been training fighters longer than you have been alive.
That means you’ve been training fighters for over 20 years and can’t recognise greatness? The 92 is from the year 1892 when John L lost to Corbett.
