    Prime active Usyk takes them all to slick school but only one man on that list is too much of a coward to ever face him and he's the biggest one of them all

    Usyk isn’t as quick as what Mike was, and nowhere near as quick as Ali.

    Tyson was as quick if not quicker than every fighter Usyk ever fought.

    Really?

    Ali fought fast former LHW’s like Doug Jones when he was young, as well as facing Floyd Patterson twice.

    Jones was nowhere near Usyk`s level and Patterson was smaller than Usyk and had a back injury in his first fight v Ali, by the second fight he was no longer as quick as Usyk is.

    Prime Wlad - Either gasses him and gets the TKO or gets KO'd by a bomb
    Prime Vitali - Usyk points, Vitali can't hurt him, too slow, predictable one-two arm punches
    Prime Mike Tyson - Usyk points, Tyson had no engine, too small, mentally weak quitter
    Prime Muhammad Ali - Usyk TKO, Ali is simply garbage in comparison, go watch the footage and compare, zero chance of hurting Uysk at all.
    Prime George Foreman - Usyk UD, Foreman way too slow and predicatable
    Prime Joe Fraizer - LOL. Just LOL!!!!
    Prime Tyson Fury - Who knows ...
    Prime HW Evander Holyfield - Uysk is better than a guy a MW stopped
    Prime Lennox Lewis - Usyk TKO, Lewis has no chin and sloppier than Joshua
    Prime Alexander Povetkin - Tough fight, Usyk is in Povetkin's wheelhouse, maybe Usyk on points in Breidis type difficult fight if I had to bet
    Prime Clubber Lang
    Prime Deontay Wilder - Usyk points unless Wilder lands one out of nowhere ...


    CW -

    Prime Haye - Usyk gasses him and TKO, but Haye is maybe more dangerous than most in the top list due to speed and power
    Prime Johnny Nelson - LOL
    Prime CW Evander Holyfield - Usyk

    In conclusion, Usyk is better than all these old fighters.

    One of the worst takes I've ever seen Usyk's not even had 1 stoppage win over a ranked Heavyweight, yet hes stopping an ATG Lewis and one of the most durable Heavyweights in history in Ali amazing logic.

    Tyson no engine ? You must of missed his 12 round war vs Ruddock.

    Lewis sloppier than Joshua with no chin ? You must of missed Lewis taking bombs off of Vitali, Mercer, Bruno.

    And somehow the worst Heavyweight fighter on that list Povetkin is the toughest fight for Usyk ?

    Dear oh dear well we certainly know your not biased at all in regards to modern fighters.

    I suppose Jermall Charlo beats Marvin Hagler aswell right because hes a modern fighter ?

    It's like people have no logic what so ever, Tyson is one of the best pressure fighters of all time with a superb body attack.

    Usyk has shown vulnerabilities to body punches, and struggled with the likes of Chisora, Breidis, pressure.

    I don't see how logically Usyk should be favoured over Tyson, hes light hitting boxer with no clinch game. An ATG pressure fighter like Tyson is bad match up for him.

    Usyk went life and death against a 40 something year old Chisora but he bests a prime Mike lol.

    This looks as though it was copied and pasted from Redbeard.

    Nobody is going to take this seriously.

    It’s a joke.
