Nobody has a case for being ahead of Usyk in P4P. They're all fighting guys within a few pounds of them. Usyk is fighting guys with 30+ lbs on him. I know it's weird to say that that "the" heavyweight champ is also the P4P best, but Usyk is the P4P best by about 10 country miles. Let me know when Inoue beats a few middleweights.
Tweener divisions mean everyone below CW is always within 6 or 7 pounds of each other. This does not mean the other champs aren't capable of overcoming a 30 pound size difference they literally can't try.
point being, Usyk has done it. Multiple times. They haven’t. Could Inoue smash up some middleweights? Absolutely. Has he? No.
It doesn't stand out at HW either many people have bridged similar weight gap. Its been portrayed as a unicorn feat and it just isn't. I was just pointing out the flaw in the logic why the champions of smaller weight class are always almost the same weight as their opponent.
That Fury fought an absolute all time killer in Deontay Wilder. This HAS to stop! Wilder's best win was Ortiz, who himself was never proven at the highest level. He never fought another champ and was around when Wlad, Parker and AJ were champs.
Something like this has probably been posted earlier in this thread but the false belief that you have to be at least 6'4", weigh over 240 lbs, and look like a world-class body builder to be an effective heavyweight. The corollary of this is that fighters such as Louis, Ali, and Frazier could not compete today against modern "super" heavyweights. "Joshua is too big for Frazier....etc."
1. Parker was less relevant than Ortiz back then and had only won a vacant belt against Ruiz. 2. Wlad wasn't really in Wilder's era. 3. You sound butthurt.
I understand that you’re ******ed but I will explain it as easy as I can for you, a bigger version of Ali and Usyk will beat a smaller version of themselves.
No it won't. Wilder has already been exposed as being nothing but a basic brawler with a big punch. The moment he stepped up in competition he didn't just lose he looked really bad while losing.
