How would he do in these fights. He just gave the GOAT hw a difficult night and boxers today are better than they've been in the history of the sport, so that means realistically Verhoeven should beat at least half this list
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.
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. idiots creates idiots idols
