    Opetaia had a tough battle against a faded king, and has recently blasted out two guys barely national level. He's also clearly the best of this weak cruiserweight generation

    But he's not Usyk. Usyk's cruiserweight run is easily the best in history, and Usyk has a style that has translated well to heavyweight... at least the heavyweights he's fought so far. People with short memories forget guys like Huck and Haye who tried to make it at 200+ and just couldn't

    Between September 2016 and September 2017, Usyk beat Glowacki, Mchunu, Hunter and Huck. One year later he's added Briedis, Gassiev and Bellew. 7 championship fights in 784 days against 7 champs/championship contenders. He's also schooled every single heavyweight he's faced, with people bigging up a game Chisora, career-best performance by AJ and fouling Dubois to try and dim his shine

    If Opetaia is Inoue then Usyk is Pac
