    Name one fighter in the sport who has fought as many murderous punchers and legit bangers as Usyk and has never been knocked down or knocked out, let alone done so in their opponent's backyards or on the road and many way bigger than him? He's never been dropped by a headshot in 374 fights amateur and pro. Not even badly hurt. Only been dropped by body shots. There are only a handful in boxing history you can say this about

    Dubois doesnt have they grey matter to improve much more than he already has. The difference between the last fight was Usyk improvements. Dubious has already hit his ceiling

    You get that badly out of position planting your tired legs in front of Usyk he is going to chin you. Fury got lucky his lazy 1,2 didn't get him KO'd in the 1st bout.

    It's not just what he did to Dubois. Just how I see him matching up with those guys based off his skill set.

    Than
    When the IBF stripped Usyk and gave the belt to Danny they ensured this would happen.

    It took 20 something years to have an undisputed champion and they just took it off him

    Dubois waited for the count of 10. When hurt he doesn’t bite down on the mouthpiece and go out on shield or try and fight back. Can’t say how hurt he was but this was the 3rd time.

    @LilButt this is the original "I'm very feel" moment with Usyk that @Serge was quoting. (pretty sure I've shown it to you before)

    I have a more fun idea for Kabayel. I've been tossing around this idea of themed fight cards. How about an event just called WAR, where all fights are matched (through fighter selection) to produce total mayhem? The event is headlined by... Kabayel vs. Bakole.

    Just match fighters off likelihood to produce mayhem. Although if you really want to move it a bit upmarket, have Kabayel-Bakole be the co-main event, and have Inoue-Nakatani as the main. If Nakatani stays at 118 and Bam gets through his next two, Nakatani-Bam for the main event.

    Especially with the south paw stance although I think Itauma is still unproven and might get found out when some one properly sticks it on him

    Good to see lots thinking uysk just might be the the best of all time. Its easy to be nostalgic about the past especially with the likes of Ali but I've never seen a HW move like that I mean Ali was slick but this guy makes you feel sea sick watching him its like watching a tennis ball being knocked back and forth, stay still for ffs lol just when you think he's going to get caught he's gone. Phenomenal boxer.
