If Usyk is such a great finisher why is his k o percentage around 50% and Ali's over 65% especially when the former has only 23 fights and the latter had 61 fights, including around 10 when he was washed?
I wouldn’t preclude Ali perhaps KO’ing or stopping Usyk in the later rounds. Ali cracked some very solid chins on the big fight occasions - included the never before and never since KO’d Bonavena and Foreman. Ali Bomaye!
I have Ali ahead of Usyk all time but the size of the men Usyk has fought compared to Ali, likely plays a role in that. It's not exactly easy to KO a 270+ lbs man as we've seen.
Imagine people having a different opinion and not just repeating the same exact talking points of how much better old fighters were and how bad modern fighters are
Your opinion is worth less than dirt if you think there are eras he wouldn't be a top ten guy. You might know a lot of fighters, but you can't assess talent and ability for ****. I see it all across multiple sports - fans who can reel off lists of athletes, but ultimately don't know WTF they're watching. You're one of them. Congratulations.
Maybe because it's not true Usyk has a 50% KO rate. It's 60. 3 days ago it was 63.63% which was a whopping 2.44% less than Ali.
Just by the way you're coming off , I know I've forgotten more about the sport than you will know. Get over yourself..... By the way this site is about opinions right? I have mine but unlike you I can articulate my reasons and point of view because of my knowledge of the sport as a participant, student, and trainer, and history of over 50 yrs of combat sports. Guys like you get aggressive and claim someone lacks knowledge , but you can't explain why your opinions is different, so you go to the next best thing, attack someone else's credibility. It's the barking dog syndrome, Its a sign of a very weak mind. Thank you for showing me your insecurities
