    I think Lewis looked substantially worse against Rahman tbh.

    Joshua had trouble just adapting to Ruiz's handspeed/countering, & both Sanders & Johnson had renowned handspeed for their size. Even peak Arreola (the one that Vitali fought) had deceptively fast hands.

    Wilder has had to come from behind several times vs. fighters that were no better than ones Vitali routinely dominated.

    Barring any big cuts or major injuries ( which really only happened twice in his career ) I’d make him a favorite over all of those

    Plenty of footage of Louis hitting the heavy bag out there already.

    How do you think he'd go against Tex Cobb? Cobb was super durable and had some heart.

    When two plods collide, I usually back the bigger, stronger, rangier plod.

    The Plod People have today almost completely taken over the Heavyweight division. Only Usyk crusades against them.
