    Ummm what absolute bull**** are you talking about? No emotion, Ali is simply not a big man and wasn't nearly as good as you make him out to be.

    Both were pretty crap. Sr. was an immobile slug of a man. Makes Chisora look active by comparison. Plus he was a hell of a fat *******.

    you could just say you were wrong, or left it alone altogether.

    That's a tantrum? I'm not even saying anything angry. I'm just pointing things out.
    If you think that's a tantrum then I feel sorry that you have such terrible reading comprehension. Seems like you're reading that into it because you know how ridiculous your argument now is. Move along now, go be salty that Usyk is actually pretty good somewhere else.

    Nah, Sr. was okay, especially against Chuvalo and Frazier. And I can't see anyone calling him immobile, he was very fast on his feet. He was no ATG, but he was a ranked fighter in a good era, and he did acquit himself nicely in the two I mentioned.

    Loma and Uysk get a lot of love here... And rightly so
    So stop with the "everyone hates Easten European fighters" tosh

    Its simply not true and your beginning to sound like a broken record with this incorrect stance

    Eh he rarely ended up showing up in good shape and despite having good feet when he used them, he didn't come in the shape to use them well often enough. Both Mathis' were decent fighters but hardly that good at any points in their careers. Sr at his peak really was about Chisora level but maybe even worse.

    There is no top heavyweight, let it be the past or today, who would be beaten by Usyk.

    The fight against Chisora showed that he has no business in HW. Look how Chisora got schooled by Pulev. Usyk struggled!

    Maybe, but I tend to think he was a clear level above Chisora. I'd say Chuvalo was too, whom he beat clearly.

    What fight were you watching? He didn't struggle that much at all.

    Chuvalo was pretty past it when Mathis beat him.

    Exactly, but some people just get blinded by the Ali hype. He was good for his time but it’s a completely different game now and people don’t realize that. Ali vs Usyk would be a very competitive fight but the chances of either of them hanging with the super heavyweights of today is pretty low

    Broken record are attempt to represent Loma and Usyk as all eastern europe etc.
    They are just few from their top level boxers. Love or hate, facts remains.

    It is amazingly how ppl here might associate their feelings with the same Loma.
    Now not alone Usyk.

    These phrases " hyp train EE ".
    In the same EE prizefighting very rarerly is career choice for people that did amateur boxing. Not alone that some ppl might think that they all are very hungry to become pros because they maybe do not have other chances to earn for a living etc.

    There you go getting emotional again. Ali was the same size as Usyk and a far more complete fighter. Picking Usyk to beat him is just fanboy nonsense.
