    I'm pretty sure you were defending Crawford on that one. It was made in the wake of his beating of the shell of Canelo, who looked horrendous against Scull. Crawford should've never even been in the P4P discussion.

    As far as Inoue being number 1. I have less of an issue with that, even though I disagree.

    Just enjoy Usyk while we have him! It's going to be a long time before we see his level of greatness again!

    I didn't have Crawford necessarily above Usyk though I was just saying it depends on your criteria.

    Crawford had more title wins and had world championships in numerous weightclasses.

    Usyk had the better P4P achievements and stronger resume overall.

    Some people value the quantity a bit more I was just trying to make a balanced opinion in favour of both fighters.

    Crawford for me left it a bit late IMO.

    His career up until Spence was not that amazing to be quite frank.

    But anyway back on the subject in regards to Usyk I don't dislike him.

    I was rooting for Usyk against Fury and even made a thread that Usyk beating Fury would be better for the sport.

    I'm not really a fan of the Heavyweight division because I think Heavyweights are too big now. And some of the skills you used to see from the smaller ATG Heavyweights has been lost IMO.

    So just for that I like Usyk because he's more of the size of Heavyweights from 40 years ago. And he has the skills and isn't big and lumbering, so I appreciate him alot more than any other Heavyweight now just for that.

    But as I said us fight fans are selfish we want to see the best constantly fighting.

    So for me it's just a bit frustrating that Usyk isn't a bit more active.

    But I don't want him to lose certainly not no.

    It's a good time to be a Brit heavyweight. How did Dave Allen ever bank this pay day? Well done to him - he had the majority of Brits backing him for the win somehow lol.

    I did see an interview where he said his family tells him he's so talented that he should be heavyweight champ. This puts that to bed.

    Any Brit who has even a basic knowledge of boxing knew how this fight was going to go. I haven’t spoken to one person that picked Allen to win this.

    It’s hilarious how uncomfy Usyk makes them. Lol We saw it years ago.

    “Usyk ain’t big enough or got da power to keep the big boys like Joshua off him doe! He a good cruiser. He needs to stay there! He ain’t as great as Evander doe! But good for this era!”

    Years later… it’s fun to go back and read their stupid panicky comments. lol :lol::lol::lol:

    The old Loma vs rigo comments are fun too. Almost as satisfying :D

    I’d be interested in Dave’s opinion on Filip’s power. I’ve heard mixed reviews. Mostly good though!

    I think Filip has HEAVY hands and thudding forceful power. Kinda similar to Vitali. Not very explosive but HEAVY.
