    So let me start off by saying I've been one of thise annoying people who have said for years and years that the likes of Ali, holyfield, fraizer, tyson etc beat a lot of the newer huge heavyweights. Now I do have some that don't, you know I think a good fury beats frazier and so on.
    2hen you look though its all about size nowadays and usyk has proved me right recently. Without going into usyk let me tell you why it's right.

    I look at these big lads, and I know that people with age just add weight automatically but every fight they seem to think they have to be 5 or 10 pounds heavier. Look at them. I see dubois and all these different guys weighing in 5 or 6 pounds heavier from the fight before and I think why not actually be on a weight, why not be finely tuned like an athlete and be that extra bit faster or sharp than your opponent? Well usyk had come along and proved me right which is nice but I still stand by this. Be big and use your advantages, great, like fury did or like wlad did but let's be at the best weight we can be, have those skills and speed over your opponents. Just looks through everyone's weights now, it's bigger every time
