    Usyk, for what he did outside the ring. How many heavyweights can say that they literally went to war?

    And when he doesn't? Will you give him his dues?

    That fight is never happening.

    Yes, I want to see Fury-Usyk and I'll give both fighters props for taking it.

    Klitschko
    Pulev
    Helenius
    Kabayel

    All these fights away from home. Not many fighters would take on Vitali away from home. He was robbed against Helenius. Close fight against Kabayel, could of gone either way and he put up a decent fight against Usyk (better then Joshua imo)

    Top opponents, champions Usyk beat in their own backyards. The Cossack Road Warrior fears nobody.

    If Usyk fights Fury (and rematch), probably have to give it to him.

    But as of now, Fury fought Wilder three times, which is the most dangerous run of anyone as Wilder has literally KO'd every single fighter he's faced otherwise, and still dropped Fury four times. Even the first Stiverne fight which went to decision, Stiverne was dropped and clung on for life (even if it was called a slip), almost KO'd.

    As of yet, nobody has made it out of a Wilder fight without almost being KO'd, except Fury in the rematch.

    Tyson Fury = the most coward ever of the Heavyweight champion. Big body with smallest brave. He defend his title with only three guys, Wilder, Whyte and Chisora. What a coward champ!

    I think you give Wilder way to much credit.

    yeah definitely. He's a ***** outside the ring, but inside he's a warrior. He signed to fight Wlad twice too.

    Chisora is definitely one of the toughest HWs of recent times and he's also fearless and one of the sport's greatest warriors

    How many times has he actually been knocked down in total throughout his career? I can only think of three times off the top of my head and two of those were in the same fight

    Whyte knocked him out with a perfect left hook and Haye dropped him with another near perfect left hook which Chisora could not see coming followed by a big right and then Haye knocked him out with a barrage of huge hooks while he was still hurt

    If I'm correct and I'm not forgetting any other KDs he's suffered during his career that first KD against Haye is the only time he's been dropped without being KO'd

    I forget he was able to clamber back up after that second KD. Most HWs would've been fast asleep after shipping those shots that dropped him the second time whilst still hurt from the previous KD

    He's not Wach level insane can't be knocked out level tough but I've always maintained he's crazy tough and durable

    Usyk is as fearless as they come too and obviously he's a lot smaller than all these HW giants and not a 250lb + thick-set Tank like Chisora with a head like a boulder
