    I've no idea how anyone can say the Chisora fight was close, let alone a draw? It was 9-3/8-4 at closest!

    The people who think Chisora won, don't know how to score a fight. Either that or they're delusional or incredibly stupid. The Briedis match was the closest, and Usyk still clearly won that. It was a case of one of those fights where every round could be seen as highly competitive but still be a shutout. The proper score for it is either 117-111 or 116-112, if extremely generous to Briedis, 115-113, but no closer. The Dubois low blow was just that, anyone who thinks otherwise are reaching, desperate for something to slander him with. So the answer is a resounding no.

    The first Fury fight, a lot of people think it should be a stoppage win for Usyk rather than a decision.

    When Usyk fought Gassiev in the final of the world series for cruiserweight undisputed, what was that if not a masterclass. Floyd is nowhere near Usyk in terms of ATG rankings. Floyd avoided every risk above 135 while Usyk took every risk possible. Incomparable. RJJ stepped up and was KTFO so many times it became sad, although he was a great fighter in his prime.

    To be fair to AdamT, he said Usyk has not dominated (e.g. shutout 12-0) MANY opponents, not NO opponents - Gassiev would be one of those, but Usyk has a history of giving away early rounds as he takes the measure and then drowning them from round 4 onwards - see Tony Bellew as another example.

    That said, he dominated Huck as well IMO

    No, he's had no controversial wins. Briedis was his closest fight, so that one if you like.

    Then you don't know sh1t about boxing. You can't find an argument for Chisora winning 5 rounds, let alone 7. Briedis fight was much closer than Chisora, incomparably closer. Both Fury fights and AJ rematch were closer as well. Arguably Hunter too. I scored Usyk vs Chisora 117-111 and can't see it any closer than that

    Exactly this and he threw punches in bunches if I remember correctly and had quite a low connecting rate vs gassiev, but he did dominate to be fair
    He has gave rounds away to many fighters

    Floyd did also, but Floyd dominated more opponents also

    It wasn't a dig, but you aren't allowed to say anything other than Usyk is the greatest or you get pulled up on every wee detail. My comment was actually praising him

    Chisora won, I think. That's why Usyk pays him extra attention in events. They robbed him to open the gates for undisputed journey for Usyk.

    I bet you didn't even watch the fight. The fight was about as close as Lewis vs Mavrovic or Klitschko vs Jennings

    You continue to have possibly the worst takes on this forum, and that's saying something

    Strongly disagree on it being as wide as 117-111 or 116-112.

    It's the most you can give him. 5 rounds is a stretch and there is no argument for a draw, let alone Chisora's win.
