    I wonder if Fury has contacted Shawn Porter for advice ahead of his upcoming bout with Usyk?

    Not surprised. Usyk really struggled with Chisora and his pressure.

    Porter who took up boxing aged 4 compared to Usyk's 15, started competing aged 8, had over 100 amateur fights by the time he was 14 and about 250 when he fought Usyk in 2006 which is four years after Usyk first walked into a boxing gym beat Usyk 23-20 and it was over in the US :facepalm:

    This really puts Kell Brook's win into perspective.

    Looks like some people don't understand context...I put little weight on an amateur fight anyway, it's what happens when you fight the big boys at the elite end of the pro's that matters. In that regard Usyk has been peerless to this point.

    Mayweather>Canelo>GGG>Brook>Porter>Usyk>AJ
    Or
    Mayweather>Canelo>Kovalev>Hopkins>RJJ>Toney>Holyfield>Foreman>Frazier>Ali.

    Mayweather clearly the GOAT.

    Yes, and the fact a green Usyk who had only been boxing four years only lost to him by a few points in his backyard (and down at MW) isn't the gotcha some think it is either. It actually reflects well on Usyk not the reverse

    That kid who beat up Wladimir when he was 11… Wonder if he ever offered any insight on how to defeat him…
