Floyd Patterson V Oleksandr Usyk??

Lol, Usyk being beaten by somebody who weighs 40 pounds less than him. Some boxing fans live on a totally different plane of reality

 

Their's changing the goal posts, then theirs's changing the venue.

 

Maybe Chok’s not so bad after all.

 

I didn't know Usyk ever weighed 230 lbs.

 

40 lbs “disadvantage” to boxers like Greb and Langford often turned out to be an advantage for them!

 

Usyk`s 78 inch jab would be too much for short armed Floyd to deal with just like Ali`s 78 inch jabbing reach was too much. Floyd had a shorter reach than Bud Crawrford.

 

Not against a fighter like Usyk, Tunney was a lot smaller than Usyk.

 

Correct, Tunney was a lightheavy in all their fights, but Greb was pretty busy apart from that one opponent you have winkled out from Greb’s prodigious activity.

 

I meant Tunney was the best fighter near Usyk`s weight, I think Floyd would had to fight Usyk at cruiser, he was only 5ft11.5.

 

Didn't you pick Usyk to beat Fury in this thread??? Who is the man at heavy...Usyk or Fury? | Boxing News 24 Forum (boxingforum24.com)

Fury in his last fight was 264.75 pounds.... Usyk was at a career high of 221.5.....

You're right. Some do indeed live on a different plane of reality.

 

Tyson is 5'10 (2" shorter) and had the same reach as Patterson, Mark.

Simply based on these on these all important stats, do you think Tyson could pull off the monumental upset?

 

lol I Think Tyson weighed a bit more than Floyd and hit a bit harder however, thing is, Usyk is going to look human against everyone he fights at Heavyweight. Just like Tyson did. It's tough to always fight bigger guys. Tyson was only 5'10.

 

It's tough to always fight bigger guys.

 

Tyson did weigh a lot more but you've been putting incredible emphasis across various threads on height and reach alone.

You might want to go back and have a look at the Tyson fight catalogue. Tyson didn't look human against everyone he faced at heavyweight, he was blitzing the vast majority with some current and ex champs not getting out of the first and second round. To the contrary he looked almost inhuman at timesand on plenty of occasions.

The times he looked human came against big men that didn't overly fight to win i.e. Tucker and Hugger. Tucker won about 2 rounds and Bonecrusher possibly none, but Tyson being Tyson these two fights are lumped into the category of Mike not being impressive. It's oft forgotten he beat this pair in a canter.

Usyk is not remotely comparable to Tyson, he relies almost entirely on big skill and has one stoppage in 4 heavyweight battles. I would he has to battle somewhat de not only the size differences but also his lack of a big punch at heavyweight.
