    48 fakking boring rounds aka close decision wins vs

    The Bodybuilder.....................whose resume is full of Pensioners, who went life and death with the Ghost of WK who had not won in years, who was sparked by a morbid obese taco stand owner who never won a meaningful fight before or after.

    Michelin Man Fury.................who out pointed stink the joint out aka jab and grab washed up WK by throwing 1.785 punches a round, who almost got stopped by, according to forum folklore, "Fraud" Wilder but all over sudden those 3 are "Legacy" fights vs the One Trick Pony. who almost got laid out by a 0-0 MMA Bozo and had to dig deep vs a Swedish Journeyman Palooka.


    Wait, wait, there is more........................another 12 rounds with glorified Brit Clubfighter Chisora..............

    60 rounds ...........................of watching paint dry.

    Plus Usyk created a new feather fisted diviision, it is called now the Super Feather Duster Division because the guy cannot crack a egg.

    Almost forgot, new Brit GOAT Dubious, a fighter who quit after a jab......................

    Conclusion

    Usyk is the GOAT...................the bestes EVER................Number 1 ATG for life..................eradicate all previous records of fighters and install Usyk as Number 1, period.

    USYK GOAT GOD.

    Stands out as uncommon doesn’t it? At this point I can’t believe I have groupies following me around over fantasy sports? This is what you guys do as 30 somethings lol? A bunch of internet weirdos who’ve got a slavish devotion to George Foreman and have made it their personal issue to moan every time I comment. I honestly have forgotten pretty much everything you have ever wrote besides the whinging, if it upsets you so much hit ignore lol.

    I also think considering the 200lbers* Usyk fought are all likely like 210-220lbs you can’t really count them out, it’s sort of an odd situation though because where would they be ranked in the open weight?

    All of the "cruisers" Usyk beat would be heavies in times past, including the 60s and 70s

    Mike Tyson beat Frank Bruno which was a better Joshua, Tucker which was a better Tyson Fury, people give him **** all the time, so how is Usyk better?

    Usyk is a fighter that showed up in the right place at the right time in a historically weak Division. Is he a good fighter? Yeah.

    But I put him up there with Mike Tyson in that he is unproven

    Usyk is not 0 for 3 against the best of his era like Tyson is

    Contexrt............

    Tyson was derailed at 37 fights at Heavy.................Usyk has 7............

    0-3 is after a 4 year prison stint, why dont you put ANY elite fighter in the can for 4 and see how they do when they come out.............

    Mike Tyson would go thru AJ and Chisora like a hot knife thru butter, fact, it would make the Bruno fights look competitive.

    Feather fisted Fury would be running for his life and get similar washed than Tucker and Bonecrusher.

    Usual opponents were 210-220lbs… not 190lbs he was always fighting heavyweight sized opponents.

    How in the hell did Mairis Briedis at 6'1 against Usyk out preform by far 6'6 Anthony Joshua and 6'9 Tyson Fury the biggest and best heavyweights of the modern day era? In 48 combined rounds these guys couldn't do better than little Mairis Briedis??? Thats a joke!

    Did you even watch that fight??? Breidis did more against Usyk than Joshua and Fury could do together in 48 rounds!

    Only the first Fury fight was close the rest were clear wins and I don't see how getting clear wins over bigger and stronger boxers isn't impressive people make up criteria just for the sake of it I swear...........

    Usyk would never get knocked out by someone like Buster Douglas in his prime

    It would be nice for him to get another good win or 2 for some depth.
    Some things to consider however....
    Undefeated
    Undeniably the best of his era
    Cleaned out cruiser
    Not much filler on his resume.
    Most top 10 heavyweights only have 10 or so good/great wins.
    I think he has a good case.
