    Williams might take him out.Machen could give him problems,same with Folley.Patterson is 50/50 imo.

    In the light of the recent Usyk v Rocky thread, might we ask could Marciano?

    Yes, he'd have a 60-40 fight with Patterson tho.
    He'd comfortably beat the rest for me.

    Could Marciano?
    Yes.

    Usky is a difficult subject, because all the evidence is in his favor, but he can still do a Joshua on us!

    I have flowed him since he was an amateur, and I flagged him up as a potential champion even then, but it did not unfold how I expected.

    As an amateur, he looked like he was going to be a cruiserweight Ernie Shavers!

    His power was obvious, but the rest was not.

    Right now, he looks like one of the most complete fighters of his weight, that I have ever seen.

    He can still do a Joshua though!

    Only at HW.
    Even if he does he's still accomplished enough to a top 3 CW, or even still number 1
