    Usyk also travels well. He has beaten everyone in their own back garden. That's impressive.

    In terms of historical achievement he's surpassed everyone at CW. He broke Holyfields record & fully unified CW too which has never been done. All in 15 fight's. Deep resume & division too right now too.. That doesn't necessarily mean he'd beat everyone & Holyfield is an ATG HW & CW no question & it would be a great fight but its purely hypothetical. Who is #1 of all time like in all divisions is subjective but I have no problem with Usyk being thought of as such. Because its just personal preference. I love these emotional crutch posts u see in here tho... 'drag out an old ATG when you feel threatened to fantasy fight them in your wet dreams..' Its almost a cliché.. Now repeat those facts back to so I can make sure you understand folks :lol:

    No. Two of the judges gave him 5 rounds and the third judge gave him 6. Most boxing pundits gave him between 5-7, hence the need for a rematch.

    No point. Usyk vs Breidis 2 is already needed. Breidis vs Gassiev would yield the same result as Gassiev vs Usyk.

    There would be more action that's for sure. But I think Breidis is a lot better boxer skill wise than a lot of people give him credit for.

    I agree, but I also think you have to move a bit to survive Gassiev..I'd have Breidis no3 in the division, just my opinion

    Holyfield's record at Cruiser isn't exactly superior is it?

    His record at HW has no relation to his ability at CW.


    Holyfield's opponents at CW had all tasted defeat too.
