For example we had Povetkin beating Norton, Galento beating Norton (jk) and someone else not long ago... due to the eb and flow of the forum lately we'd say his stock has taken a dive... look at David Tua he'd at one point have been a Top 10 HW here lol now he's basically beaten by everybody... happened to Ibeabuchi, Lyle, Williams, Marciano, Dempsey etc... Like Usyk would be holding his own up there, Ali is the defending forum champ basically but for the first time it looks like his a$$ is sliding off the throne I've seen a lot more folks picking Louis, Lennox and Wlad to win in more and more threads.
Usyk 'head-to-head' at the moment (on these forums) is like Godzilla on steroids. (oh, sorry, i have to now excuse myself to go perform Harakiri, for inadvertently implying Saint Usyk takes steroids)
I think the hype has died on a bit but at one point some guys here would have had Usyk beating Superman and Darkseid, with 1 hand only
Speaking of hype I recall a poster on here claiming Deontay Wilder would’ve defeated any heavyweight not called Tyson Fury a few years back. I wonder if this esteemed poster feels like walking back that claim in light of Wilder (and to a lesser extent Fury’s) standings plummeting in recent years.
