Realistically Usyk may have a better resume than Fury because the cruiserweights he beat are likely better than nearly all the heavyweights Fury...
Ali's failure to give rematches didn't start until he was far past his prime. Holmes missed out on many contemporaries who were active when he...
Who cares? In the real world Ezzard Charles beat guys Lyle's size like Baksi and Louis. And Lyle couldn't put away a 193 pound shot Jimmy Ellis...
Lyle got schooled by smaller guys like Quarry and Young. Why would his size pose a problem? There were Lyle-sized top heavies in Charles era....
What about Yoka, Jalolov, etc?

Wouldn't Beterbiev be the naturally bigger man though if anything? I suspect he generally enters the ring heavier than Marciano does and as an...
One of the arguments used in favor of Lewis is the era he fought in though but if he didn't face the best versions of the fighters of that era...
He consistently came up short in big fights. I don't see why people are supposed to be wowed by wins over Cooper or Morrison. Morrison lost to...
A lot of the criticisms seem reasonable though. Why couldn't he fight Mercer, Holyfield, and Tyson earlier? Had he beaten prime versions of...
In Morrison's era a former light heavyweight called Michael Moorer became heavyweight champion of the world. So much for little men not cutting...
Morrison isn't modern though, at this point he is ancient history. His prime was during the Bush/Clinton presidency Morrison wasn't among the...
thought it might be fun to resurrect this one.
The argument that Louis got dropped by guys under 200 pounds doesn't seem very compelling given Morrison didn't fight many if any capable...
Inspired by the Morrison vs Louis thread, I think this fight is a better matchup one in which Morrison might have a good shot at winning
