    The Inoue-Crawford debate is over. The number one pound-for-pound fighter in the world has been decided.

    Oleksandr Usyk.

    The Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World.

    Difficult to imagine how each boxer would perform with either an extra 40lbs+ (Usyk) or 40lbs+ less (Fury) on their frame.

    Agreed however if he was going to call it like that why then was fury allowed to bounce around the ring ropes the previous round without a KD called?

    Usyk should now retire and deny this fat **** the same rematch he denied Vlad back in the day. He's got nothing left to prove anyway, having taken down the big names at HW & CW dude is a certified G and ATG now.

    You have to be a very misserable man to jum+hug in a sparring session. I suppose Wlad wouldnt do that..... I suposse they would sparr and not hug. What's the point of spending a sparring sesions hug after hug?

    To be fair it landed, right on the sweet spot, nailed right on the chin.

    Usyk needs to put bum down head up and win the rematch, we all know if Fury wins the 2nd he'll do a runner and claim he won both and won't give Usyk the trilogy.

    It was Wlads main strategy to dominate those smaller so I reckon he did it every sparring session tbh

    Maybe but Fury isn’t the man to do it.

    I mean the best moment would have been if Usyk had knocked Fury out cold. But I can't complain.

    Remember the first Dawson vs Hopkins fight? It initially ended in a T/KO loss. Which resulted boxrec skyrocketing Dawson to either the current or all time P4P top. I can´t precisely remember the case, but he jumped really high :lol:. And this was when Manny and Floyd were still kings.
