    So you can't see him beating 92 Bowe, 97 Lewis, 91 Foreman or 79 Holmes?? You need better glasses

    To be honest, I imagine the odds on Buddy would be worth a punt, just on the off-chance that banana peel lands at Usyk's feet .:lol:

    Wasn;t he actually beating Joe Louis before the d'q?

    I know he dropped Louis so there was a possibility he could beat Louis.

    But who knows.

    Its more likely that he could beat one of the 80s "soda" champs like Dokes, Thomas, Tubbs etc. Specially if they were "on the soda" when they fought.

    Wilder is a terrible matchup for him. Also not many consider Wilder that good as a fighter.

    As usual with these kind of threads, i pick him to beat every single active heavyweight today besides Uysk.
