Did Usyk change your mind about how much size matters?

  1. Yes

    63.9%
  2. No

    36.1%

    I don’t think Fury is THAT hard to beat who was on his resume before Usyk? Wlad who he made scared of him in the build up, Wilder and Whyte. Nobody that that great in the first place. Cunningham gave Fury a run for his money there are plenty of fighters who would have beat Fury not just Ali

    Ali wasn’t a southpaw and Ali never went to the body. Not saying he couldn’t or wouldn’t win but it’s a totally different fight.

    Would’ve looked like the Terrell or Bugner fights.

    Yes because that 37 year old Cruiserweight is an ATG and proved it tonight

    Ali beat 6'6 Ernie Terrell who is probably as tall as Fury

    Hey you're forgetting something. A 37 year old cruiserweight is THE BEST heavyweight in the modern era. And its a fact.

    He didn’t just beat him he absolutely demolished him literally took his soul in the ring I think that was Ali at his highest level of blood lust

    Muhammed Ali would crucify Tyson Fury, Ali knocked out and stopped Liston, Foreman, Lyle, Frazier, Quarry, Patterson, Bonavena etc. . His resume is superb, Fury would have been a TKO victim on Wide world of Sports on a Saturday at 4;30

    Well yes and no. Most of the fans that side with the modern super heavyweights say the older heavyweights were too small to compete today. Ali, being considered the best of the old era fighters is the natural choice to use as the example of the old timers, considering he is very close to the size of Usyk. So, the thought is, if Usyk can beat the best big man, more than likely Ali could as well. I personally think the best of the old time heavies could compete. Both size groups have their advantages and disadvantages. Remember, all ATG's not only have physical skill, they possess high ring IQ. Ali would be thinking all the time, looking and trying to figure his opponent out. It would be interesting.
