    Eventually we knew it was going to happen. A heavyweight southpaw with superior angles to Whitaker, Camacho and Nunn. The best defense and the most skill the division has ever known. Iron chin, iron will. Usyk is the closest heavyweight to unbeatable I've seen since prime Tyson but let's be honest he's better than Mike Tyson by a longshot. Usyk looks genetically engineered compared to the great Ali, the formidable Holmes and the monster Lennox Lewis. As a classic American boxing fan it really grinds my gears how talented Oleksandr the great is, why couldn't America produce someone as good as Usyk

    After Usyk retires, we may never have a good era ever again. Usyk is the only small heavyweight in history that can dominate super heavyweights, we'll never see this again

    To be fair, Usyk isn't even that small, historically speaking. He is bigger than George Foreman in the 70s.

    Yes


    And Justis Huni is superior to Muhammad Ali in terms of skill.

    And Usyk would ko Frazier because he is bigger than Foreman.
