If I were in Usyks position I would fight a lot more frequently (2-3x per year). So I would never be in this position to begin with because I...
Of course it isn't. You don't get to beat 3 quality opponents and expect to go down as great. It takes a lot more than that. Mike Tyson had a...
The public at large didn't view him as champ. Holyfield was champ in the view of the boxing public once he beat Tyson
It happened with Foreman in the 90s. He fought poor competition too long and lost recognition with the general public. Tyson was also widely...

The Byrd argument is silly because Lewis beat a ranked opponent in his next fight and then retired. He didn't use it as a way to avoid worthy...

Gassiev has 3 quality wins at cruiserweight. There is very little depth. Certainly not enough for me to call him a great cruiserweight
It's not who he should have fought it's more his opponents having crappy careers and not taking more big fights
The vast majority of these guys have extremely thin resumes and will not be remembered as great fighters. The fact that you are reduced to...
