    Blade can comment on what he has and hasn't seen. Sometimes I wonder who actually watches boxing here and other times who understands it.

    I agree and will take it a step further. Usyk has pound for pound type of skills. In fact Ring Magazine rated #5 on their pound for pound list, holding the titles WBA, WBC, WBO, and Ring magazine champion not to mention he won the Ali Trophy by beating the best.

    I think Usyk is the real deal he's pretty much cleaned out a stacked crusierweight division. Sure he's still young but followed him as an amateur and thought he could do big things which he's doing. Reckon he would beat Jonhson by decision is a boring somewhat uneventful fight.

    Number 1 pound for pound for Usyk? Over Lomo and Crawford?

    I have a ton of respect for Johnson but I don't think he could overcome the size and skill of Usyk. It is still early in Usyk career but if you watch his fights it is very clear that he is the goods. His is one of the most technically sound fighters out there today and would be a handful for anyone past or present.

    I can't wait to see what he can do at heavyweight. It has been awhile since we have seen someone with his boxing ability north of 200 pounds.
