    I'm talking about a 25 y/o Usyk at HW in the pros against these giants where his speed advantage, reflexes and reaction times would be even greater, like we saw in the WSB. Had he turned pro younger at HW and worked his way up to 12 rounders the Usyk we saw in the WSB would have been all sorts of nightmares for these HW giants he fought, even more so than the much older version was

    I know HWs generally mature later

    Moses might not be as mentally strong as Hrgovic and it would be foolish on his and his team's part to take a rematch now but Hrgovic's chin is going to crack at some point and we might see evidence of that in his next few fights. I was concerned about his well being after the Big Bang fight

    If 34 year old Usyk had been fighting WSB 5 rounders he'd have dominated just as much. I think we saw the best of him at HW, even at 38.5 he was still producing elite form. I'd also argue it balances out because he got AJ post-Ruiz, Fury post-binge and post-Wilder etc.

    All chins crack eventually but some retire with their chins in tact, even at advanced ages. Foreman, Vitali, McCall, Wach, all very durable at 40+. I suspect Hrgo has that kind of chin.

    Wlad was 22 when he gassed and lost while ahead in 11 to journeyman Puritty, and he was better than Puritty

    Haye was 23 when he gassed and lost while ahead in 5 to 40+ small CW Thompson, and he was better than Thompson

    Morrison was 22 when he gassed and lost while ahead in 5 to Mercer, but he was not better than Mercer

    Pretty sure they were lopsided in Itauma's favor

    Probably because they are mainstream propagandists afraid of the truth that you are bringing. That's 100% the reason.

    I made money on Hrgović beating Itauma, so? That's what we do when odds are too good not to play. I don't trust none of these mentioned as I already stated. But yeah, I do trust official government statistics more than I trust loony conspiracy theories online, who can't even understand the world they are living in as they don't leave their grandmas basements often.

    Eddie Hearn claimed that AJ's DM's were hacked and that was why those derogatory comments were made. Do you believe that?

    You trust all of them implicitly, which is why you are frequently quoting them as truth-telling authorities. "Frank said this, Eddie said that". As if Frank/Eddie isn't going to lie/spin to defend his man.

    You trust entities which cover up mass violence against children. You trust individuals and organisations in boxing which work with drug kingpins. You are a brainless little sheep.

    This isn't about David Price or Tony Thompson is it?

    David Price lost to Thompson because he was Knocked out legit from a punch... Filip hrgovic never Knocked out Ituama even Abel Sanchez his trainer said it LMAO.... you're really delusional comparing it to price. If Moses itauma lost to a washed up dillian Whyte then that would've been the equivalent of price losing to a washed up Tony Thompson... Wlademir was dominating Ross Purity for most of the fight until he Punched himself out and lost due to Exhaustion so Ross Purity is better than Wlademir Klitschko using your dumb Logic LMAO....

    Wasn't Thompson found to be on the juice after both wins too?

    You're projecting soooo much now, lol. Just because you believe your tinfoil hat pals in every dumb conspiracy theory, it doesn't mean everyone else believe anything. But keep exposing yourself, I love it. You're no longer a cover up, you're out in a open.

    A leftist mod or two aside, this forum doesn't generally have your sucker mentality, I'm glad to say.

    Tony Thompson had vastly more left in the tank than Whyte and he did not spark Pricey in the rematch. Price also got stopped on exhaustion, after being battered previously.

    I don't think Itauma is a Wlad and Hrgovic is not a Puritty. A loss can ruin a hyped fighter's career, see Jared Anderson.

    Morrison was also winning most rounds vs Mercer, but Mercer was a better fighter. Same with Hrgo-Itauma.

    Itauma's collapse was more rapid than Wlad's, Morrison's or Haye's. They all had a round of being beaten up before they got stopped in the one after, Itauma was gone in the first round he lost.

    Why don't you answer the question? Why wasn't Price more talented than Thompson, given his big power and faster hands?
