    It's a shame that Adam, sensitive fella (big Usyk hater) who obsessively hates any praise for Usyk and constantly refers to 90's heavyweights - is banned, I was looking forward to his latest meltdown after an Usyk win:lol: Poor guy has had a rough night tonight:D

    And I'd kill Dubois, Lyle, AND Usyk, one after the other, on the right summers evening .




    AND remove their wallets and cards..




    It's all about timing.....

    Whilst undeniably true...

    Beating unquestionably the two best twice each (and now probably the third best twice, too) when the era is so thin on genuine quality... It puts more of a lock on his greatness.

    Beating Parker too would pretty much complete the set for the era - it drops off a cliff after that.

    I know Daniel is only 27 but he's been stopped and dropped and hurt multiple times - I'm thinking he's an old 27yr old HW who is on his way to having his chin permanently cracked.

    They were also fighting alot more often and taking alot more risks than pretty much all of the Heavyweights now.

    How many title fights did Fury have when he won the title off of Wladimir in 2015 ? And how many different opponents did he fight who were ranked top 10 Heavyweights ?

    Bowe, Lewis, Holyfield, Tyson, are much better than the current top 5 Heavyweights outside of Usyk who is the only stand out Heavyweight.

    Being 38 years old is wear and tear lol. Yea ring age is a thing, but so is literally being almost middle aged.

    Dubois way too slow and stiff. These big stiff UK HW's are custom made for usyk. I want to see him fight a mobile quicker HW. So far he has only beaten 1 style.

    Oh yeah IMO he did even better the second go-round with all three of them, and further cemented his legacy ...just, on the merits of his initial wins, none of them in a vacuum truly "needed" a rematch. If anything Dubois had a better case than Fury or Joshua just due to all the "body shot vs. low blow" chatter - but even there, if Usyk had never fought him again it wouldn't have been some black cloud hanging over his career.

    Usyk has always had a granite chin, doesn't take unnecessary punishment due to his defensive skills and responsibility, and has not taken a significant accumulation of damage. I am certain that Usyk's stamina would have taken him 12 rounds.

    Sorry guys this thread is a no crybabies zone.

    Take your Baba tears elsewhere

    This is strictly a Usyk love zone

    To beat Usyk you have to be bigger, a hard hitter and have good footwork to make him come to you.

    Maybe Lewis and Wlad might have had a chance.

    I just proved that I did, you just proved that you're a dunce.

    Also why does every response sound like you're crying? I bet you have mascara running down your face everytime someone on here criticizes the Clenbuterol junkie.

    I think it's likely
    Spot on. The 2 fights that AJ impressed in were Wlad and Usyk2.
