    Stylistic nightmare for Usyk for sure.

    Usyk wants to organize a 4 vs 4 street fight. I think them four have been passing around Eeyore between them. Winneh The Pooh should show up with four of his own crew.

    Lennox Lewis would have knocked Wlad out on the same night as he koed his brother. Usyk would have stood no chance vs Lewis.

    Silly. Even a highly motivated Pooh would at best lose a majority decision to Usyk.

    I'm not sure if Usyk could survive 12 rounds against either prime Joe Louis or Rocky Marciano.

    Not in a street fight.

    Vitai is the better head to head fighter than Wlad. He had an Iron Chin, awkward lean back style, was mentally tougher, and was taller and harder to get to.

    Is that what you took from the post? I just thought he was saying Usyk has a difficult style, one which Wlad could combat easier than most. I think there are many fighters who'd beat Usyk, he ain't GOAT, just GOHT. Greatest of His Time. I've really revisited Wlad recently though and I'd definitely now have him top ten.

    I dunno man. If Wlad landed on Lennie it would be good night. I don't see why Lennox should get a pass here.

    The list of fighters that have a realistic shot of beating Usyk would break the character limit. The mans lost 25 HW rounds in 7 fights. What about that screams invincibility to you?

    Lewis didn't KO Vitali or even knock him down. He landed his best punch of the fight and Vitali walked back to his corner.

    Yes..... when you tear your opponents face to shreads it's not a tko, ofcourse it isn't. One could even argue that the real winner is he who bleeds the most.
