    Nobody expected mcdonnel and payano to win while all of usyk's opponents are legit threats to him. Regardless of the outcomes usyk won against the more elite competition. So i go for usyk and inoue doesn't even come close.

    Definitely Bellew was no legit threat to him and nobody expected him to be competitive, let alone win.

    Now there actually were some people who thought McD was very tough and the massive size difference, etc etc.

    The fact that you'd even attempt to make an argument that wins over McDonnell and Payano are somehow comparable to or better than a win over Briedis alone, is incredibly troubling.

    Then if you add in Gassiev, it becomes astoundingly irrational, then to add in Bellew on top of that. I think you're ready for the a padded cell. Get the nets.:lol:

    Usyk, and it IS NOT even close to debatable, and I say that as someone who loves Inoue almost as much.

    If Deontay Wilder knocks out the undefeated Luis Ortiz and the undefeated Tyson Fury this year and becomes the Lineal World Heavyweight Champion, Wilder is the Fighter of the Year.

    Ortiz and Fury are better than anyone those two fought this year.

    The year isn't over yet.

    Still almost two months to go.

    You don't call an election two months before people vote.

    Usyk would beat Inoue and I'm on record saying that Inoue beats everyone from 118 to 175 with the exception of Loma so it's not like anyone can accuse me of underrating him. And I also think there are plenty of top 10 CWs and HWs Inoue would beat too.

    I have him beating, Glowacki, Dorticos, Masternak, and Kudryashov among others at CW and I think he'd be too fast and powerful for Donkey, Povetkin, Ortiz, Parker, AJ, Pulev, Hughie and Whyte as well. But Usyk wouldn't just beat Inoue he'd probably even get him out of there by the 10th, IMO.

    Bellew? Nah not him. I meant the likes of briedis and gassiev. Bellew is a good win not an elite win.

    I expected mcdo to bring the fight to inoue. Didn't even come close.

    Usyk won all 4 fights in the other guys back yard. That counts a lot IMO. The Lithuanians tried very hard to give Bredis the win.

    And FFS for once and for all...he didn't "struggle " with Bellew. Getting hit a few times in 7 rounds isn't struggling.

    Inoue I think will end up better in p4p than Usyk he might just be the next Pacman.
