    I would give Frazier as the favourite, I think he is massively underrated

    Still your original statement is absurd

    Agreed. Decapitation for me is a lot of the early Tyson victories. There's no way Uysk does that to Frazier even if you think he wins.

    Exactly it's always the same fans jump on the bandwagon after a big fight and these same fans will jump on the bandwagon again if Usyk loses his next fight claiming he was "Overrated" fans are so fickle.

    Yes Usyk is a great and he deserves alot of credit for beating bigger men but as I said Joshua and Fury are not greats. I mean Fury recently arguably lost to an MMA fighter and was being ridiculed on this forum and all over social media.

    I'm happy for Usyk that he defeated Fury i was tired of Fury's antics and his whole family but people just need to settle down a bit. No Usyk is not the GOAT and no hes not an ATG Heavyweight as of yet. And some of these posts I'm seeing like which you pointed out "Usyk by decapitation" is just utterly ridiculous.

    Frazier holds the single best win of all time at Heavyweight beating an undefeated Muhammad Ali who is comparable to Usyk in size and attributes 6'3 78 inch reach. Usyk lost 5 rounds to Breidis and had a farily hard nights work vs Chisora, if people logically look at this match up and stop going OTT with recent bias. Then people would realize style wise Frazier matches up very well vs Usyk, the way to beat him is being an elite aggressive/swarmer/pressure fighter which Frazier is. Plus Frazier also has the gas tank to go into later rounds and not tire out like some of these giants or overweight Heavyweights.

    That's what people don't realize being bigger is sometimes an advantage but not in all cases, especially against Usyk who always has superior cardio being the smaller better conditioned fighter.
