Rico Verhoeven vs Ray Mercer, Ron Lyle, Corrie Sanders, David Tua, Gerry Cooney, Riddick Bowe

I'm a huge Usyk fan but truth is, he's snacked on some overhyped heavyweights, he's not the heavyweight GOAT. He's a pound for pound all time great. I would think all those heavyweights in their prime KO Rico without too much fuss.

 

In shape Usyk already stops Rico much, much faster. All those killers above enjoy a close quarter encounter. Corrie Sanders might be the only accident waiting to happen, but it's infinitely more likely he simply blasts Rico out of there with an all-time great handspeed and power.

Usyk was in terrible, terrible shape.

 

They'd hurt him badly, and that's not a knock on Rico who is a sporting icon and clearly a very special athlete.

 

Loses to everyone. Vaughn Bean and Michael Bentt would kick his ass.

 

Rico would lose to every one of those. most by KTFO.

 

I see this every time. someone show good fight then he is overhyped, compared to Ali etc
then he have some poor fight and people suddenly opens their eyes

the same with Wilder being compared to Tyson and there are dozens of such a cases.
