    Just seeing the result, didn't realise the fight was early. This just made my weekend lol.

    Lewis and Tyson maybe but it’s a debate, Usyk has fully cleared out 2 divisions

    That was awesome. Dubois tried to stay composed and had a couple of moments early, but Usyk took the play away from him and then took him apart. I wouldn't have called Usyk feather-fisted at heavyweight but he was really setting down on his shots this evening and it got him a quality KO in the first half of the fight.

    I have a problem with his elbow’s flaring out like that. It’s hard to block shots with his elbows out like that. Then he drops his guard when he punches as well.

    I feel Kabayel should be next, even before Parker.
    But he surely won't get the shot.

    No HW champion in boxing history has done what Usyk just did tonight at his age. Going into the backyard of a much bigger, much younger, much more powerful, murderous puncher who was in their prime. It's never happened before and he knocked them out too when they were coming off the best form of their career with three very impressive stoppage wins, 2 over unbeaten iron-jawed fighters

    You could make a case that Usyk was past prime going up to heavyweight, and he still cleared the division. An absolute legend.

    Usyk would stand Lennox on his head. Holyfield was too inconsistent at HW and fueled by PEDs. Tyson would be a tough fight.

    Fair play to Dubois he tried to make it happen. Walked through some hard shots and kept coming. Just beaten by a master.

    I had a feeling he would make Dubois quit, but figured it would take 8-9 rounds of humiliating and outboxing him. Instead he put on a short, violent clinic for four rounds and then snatched his soul.
