I agree. But he didn't do himself any favors by how he conducted business when he campaigned there. But the destruction of Chisora has aged very well. I think barring the absolute cream of the crop he has a very good chance against any top HW.
Ey, I have been told by upwards of seven people that size doesn't matter, including my 83-year-old chiropractor, who is very reassuring, but these are statements of generalization. As it pertains to boxing fighters, and pretty fighters, it very much matters and I think we all know that, deep down.
You forgot in his heavyweight wins Monte Barret, who scored and uncredited knockdown! Either of Usyk's wins over Joshua was better than Haye's whole career, never mind the Fury fight.
Every stage of Usyk's career was far superior to Haye's career Amateur, CW and HW And don't get me wrong, I rate Haye, have seen damn near all his fights if not all of them, followed his career right from the very early days and he achieved a hell of a lot and had a great career.
The funny thing is I rate him too. If nothing else, he stepped up an provided a credible threat to Klitschko, when it was desperately needed, and even if the fight was a stinker due to big toe issues (or otherwise), you hit it right on the head that Haye should not be mentioned in the same breath. Haye got there by cherry picking and mitigating disasters. What Usyk puts him with the immortals.
Yeah, he was a very good fighter, fought and beat some good guys and was a dangerous puncher but levels
Haye was a brilliant fighter, but Usyk is built different people don't understand. Usyk beats him at CW, heavy, super heavy, ultimate heavy, supreme heavy and whatever else. Plus Chisora was arguably at his best around the time when he fought Szpilka, Price, Usyk, Parker 1 and Pulev 2
