    Usyk is nowhere near the level of Ali

    Usyk vs Chisora isn’t even in that level. If Chisora would have won it would have been a very minor upset. When Ali won it changed boxing if not sports history.

    People underrate Usyk alot. Heavyweights in Ali's day weren't much bigger than modern day Cruiserweights. Usyk is incredibly skilled and would cause hell in Ali's era, but obviously i still favor Ali over him. Ali was just up there

    I mean Chisora is no Liston. Odds wise or in terms of history. Physically Usyk is a heavyweight.

    Usyk was more skilled than anybody that Ali beat.

    Don’t really see the point of the comparison or really how those fights have anything in common.

    Chisora no Liston
    Usyk no Ali

    Not sure how valid this comparison is.
