    Usyk arguably struggled just as much against a past prime Chisora it's hilarious stuff

    What are you going on about?

    Vitali performed far better against Chisora than Usyk did.

    So did Haye and Fury.

    I just spit facts cuz, I think you're wrong, and I told you so.

    Lol you wouldn't, don't die on this hill. Just accept you're wrong on it. I won't gloat or anything, I don't take pleasure from correcting you.

    Who is the best HW that you would favour Usyk over.

    I think for me it's Wlad. I don't see Usyk beating anyone better than Wlad.

    So don't say Usyk arguably struggled just as much. There's night and day between the performances.

    Honestly you Usyk fanboys.

    Im not disagreeing about Vitalis performance, i said arguably. He was 40 years old too so that's a feather in his cap

    No argument about it, Vitali dominated Chisora in all but two rounds.

    You said on another post I quoted earlier that usyk was the goat and beats everyone?

    Regardless we're I really place him doesn't take away from the fact he is massively overrated by many

    Maybe some of us do underrate him? But many are certainly overrating him. It would be easier to get behind the guy if many didn't spout nonsense like goat talk

    He may have a few titles and a zero, but he didn't fight the level of guys or adversity not only inside the ring, but outside the ring as someone like Ali

    It's a disgrace to his accomplishments to put usyk ahead of him, even if he is seen by some as better h2h (not my eyes)

    That was in May, a couple of days after he'd beaten Fury.

    Over rated, under rated, just right rated, what's the difference. It's a subjective sport.

    Adversity wise you have to remember Usyk has fought nearly every fight of his career as the B side and the seat fighter. I do t know if anyone else has done that tbh.

    Ali will always be the goat even when he isn't. The fact we have someone reigning at HW as a classic sized fighter reliant on speed and reflexes, if anything, is a credit to Ali. Much more so than having the guy who's the champion just being the champion because he's the biggest.

    I just don't rate him high
    It's my opinion
    99.999999% may disagree

    Many will say it's wrong etc, but it is my opinion

    I don't think either of these guys fighting in December are that great.

    Uysk better not lose in December to a guy who lost to Ngannou. That will seriously harm the goat talk

    Also I agree it's subjective. We started this back amd forward because you told me I was wrong for picking Vitali, because I got the Fury fight wrong

    Yet here you are admitting you were overrating him just days after his victory by calling him goat. By all means call me out for my predictions,inconsistencies etc, that's fine, but be aware of your own

    Everyone disagrees with everyone else, it's a subjective sport. Ask every poster to give a top 100 atg ranking and they will all give a different list.

    I didn't say you were wrong, I said don't be surprised if you're wrong. There's no ultimate answer as the two will never fight. You said there's no way Vitali loses to an over rated cruiserweight. I said don't be surprised if you're wrong.

    Not only am I aware of my own, but everyone is. Everything we ever post online remains forever. Every boxing thought I've had since 2009 is recorded here, and of course many of those thoughts have changed and many of those have changed back.

    This started because you were so convinced Vitali beats Usyk, due to Usyk being over rated. I pointed out that every time Usyk has fought a title holder you've said you think he loses because he's over rated, and you've been wrong every time.

    Beyond that, if you're going to talk about being over rated, does Vitali have 3 victories that compare with Fury, Joshua and Dubois?

    Vitali at his best??? After his comeback against Peter to around the Briggs fight (I actually think he was his sharpest then) he would easily be right there with Usyk. Those two would have to battle it out. Most likely a few times.

    Vitali would mutilate wilder. Just completely take his time with that puke. And joshua would be abused. Really abused before getting stopped and dropped later rounds By a Vitali 1-2 with extra sauce on it for the way that POS grinned at Wladimir at the time of that stoppage.

    Zhang would be a ****ing fun fight. I could actually see Zhang being the first to really Buzz Vitali since Sanders with that sneaky southpaw power he’s got. But Vitali is just way busier and way more skilled. UD for Vitali.

    Put Vitali at his best in ANY era and he’s right there in the mix in ANY top 3-4. In Any era. Vitali was that formidable. Whether The Usual Suspect haters want to admit to it or not.

    You've mastered the art of time travel here and it seems you just activated the 24 hour loop.
