    Modes itama severely overrated Los bums never been chin checked yet that will be the test . Also when he can't blast someone out and it goes to 8 /9 round what do we know about his tank . Nothing ... parsley would give him hard work Dave Allen would still be there 8 rounds in .look at David price .. all the attributes to be hreat except when he got chin checked and fell apart ... Can't judge moses in till he gets clipped by a heavy hand .ring management . He been 6 rounds against durable punchbags . Not a boxer looking to bring the fire .... all the sparring stories mean **** all .in heat of battle when he gets rocked or cut and late into a war .... what do we know about him

    Vitali - ahead on the scorecards
    Tyson - completely shot, much smaller fighter
    Tua - much smaller, easy to hit, never had a belt
    Rahman - knocked out twice by Maskaev, not really a top HW, but KOed Lewis
    Botha - journeyman or fringe contender
    Grant - poor guy didn't have a fighters' mentality

    AJ I - former unified heavyweight champion, still in his prime
    AJ II - former unified heavyweight champion, still in his prime
    Fury I - linear heavyweight champion, younger and MUCH bigger than Usyk
    Fury II - linear heavyweight champion, younger and MUCH bigger than Usyk
    Dubois - young, strong and now IBF champ after AJ fight
    Chisora - fringe contender, Usyk getting used to HW, fight not as close as UK judges had it
    Witherspoon - journeyman

    Dubois is too stiff good jab slow feet . Been easily hit Miller troubled him . Herzog if troubled him till cut . Usyk schooled him to slow ... wooden like Bruno.... Wardle best bet ... Ollie useless . Beat up by average bills Smith so stuck on 25kg of fat and thinks he is a danger at heavyweight . Now he slow and Sony carry the 4 stone well against big muscular true heavyweights

    Baillie is big and strong a poor man's foreman . No feet so slow on feet good with hands and has lead lined legs . Couldn't catch up with a slight. Anyone jobs and moves he will look bang average

    I don't see how Usyk surpassed Wlad at HW yet. Yeah Wlad never became undisputed but so hasn't Larry Holmes, doesn't mean I'm rating Usyk above him.
    Wlad:
    25-4-0 (19 KO) in world championship bouts
    11-4-0 (7 KO) against former or current world champions
    Klitschko holds the longest combined World Heavyweight Championship reign in history. He was the champion for 4382 days (12 years).

    Usyk:
    5-0-0 (0 KO) in world championship bouts
    5-0-0 (0 KO) against former or current world champions
    First undisputed champion since Lennox Lewis. First in the 4 belt era.

    Lewis never fought anyone as quick as Usyk and used to get tagged a lot, Usyk would have toyed with Rahman and McCall.

    No,
    Lewis wasn`t knocked out twice by Rahman, he got sparked in their first fight then sparked Rahman in the rematch.

    He`s got a better chin than Bruno and is a better combo puncher and has better mobility.
