Usyk's never even been beat. I'm not sure he's ever been knocked down in the pros.
Of course. The concept is ludicrous. Unless a welterweight/middleweight is willing to get in the ring with a heavyweight and show himself to be...
Compared to other fighters who've reached the top 5 or 6 in heavyweight division in the past decade, Usyk wasn't unrecognised. He was considered a...
I'm going with 1 and 4. Also, for me it's all evidence of a weak era. Correct. But I'd strongly suspect that those eras might have to be...

There are a lot of things that can be fairly said about Wladimir that would push him down a tier or two among the "ATGs" . But nothing that would...
