    Usyk is a great proponent of the BET (Boxing Evolution Theory), especially in a H2H sense. I personally hypothesise he could hang with any Heavyweight in history. However, I would like to see him in with a wider variety of styles and opponents, proving his longevity, before I make a suitable conclusion.

    Hopefully Usyk's biological evolution can be forcibly sped up, if indeed that is possible.

    Yes I believe so

    The thing people don't realize or intentionally ignore is this HW version of Usyk is not the prime agile light on his feet as a ballerina/mongoose reflexes and reaction times fast Usyk. There's a reason why his moniker is The Cat

    This 35-38 y/o HW version who became undisputed is more like the later career version of Ali which makes the fact Usyk was able to slay all these giants and conquer the HW division even more remarkable
