    When you're that accurate, it makes up for raw punching power. Usyk is simply in a league of his own in terms of skill, especially at HW.

    It was Usyk's first real fight at HW and he was almost 10lbs lighter then. Ring looked small too. Look at how Belly and J-Park handled Chisora in their rematches. Like you say, talk fighters can't do that to Usyk but not many can do what Chisora can do either. He's not an easy guy to fight but Usyk would've schooled him in a rematch. He also said he was injured going into that fight and he was inactive due to injury before

    What rounds did you see that in? What I saw was a problem cutting off the ring until he finally hurt Ajagba.

    Should’ve included Paul Gallen who is coming off a big win this week.

    If he retired tomorrowI think he's secured his position as no worse than twelfth all-time at HW.

    If he beats Parker and Kabayel, he's definitely top ten, maybe top five.

    Everyone can have an off night and his was against real dirty mauler early when he was finding his feet at HW. Plus as you say, possible injury. In fact it was a pretty good win all things considered

    I can quote so many articles from Ring magazine and KO boxing talking about how bad the HW scene was at different periods. There were very large stretches of time in that decade when the division looked dire. Lewis was knocked out by an undercard Tyson sparring mate. Holyfield looked like complete dog**** in half his fights. Bowe ate himself out of career in record time. Tyson had the worst crash out in sports history. Extremely old guys like Foreman and Holmes were able to compete for major titles.
