Olexsander Usyk vs the following

JOE LOUIS was 6 feet one and a half inches tall.Source? Joe Louis,his autobiography.
Assuming Louis' prime to be from the Farr defence to the 2nd Simon one.
In title defences he weighed under 200lbs 4 times ,under 202lbs12 times,and over 203lbs, just 3 times.

 

So in short, smaller than Usyk?

 

Usyk has a better defense than all three of these guys and he would do better against every guy that these fighters lost to (not including young Foreman`s opponents) but we still have to see if Usyk is as good at heavy as he was at cruiser, you`re right in that regard I feel, can`t wait.

 

Same height as Ali?

 

How much did Cooper weigh?

 

He beat Joyce in the amateurs.

 

He hasn`t beat one as a pro but he beat Joyce a an amateyr and he`s a powerful heavy that fights a lot like Stewart.

 

Charles and Walcott were still very good fighters when Marciano beat them.

 

Joyce just after he won silver in the olmpics in the WSB tournament.

 

Indeed they were, Charles 187lbs, Walcott 197lbs and both an even six feet tall.
So both 3 inches shorter than Usyk, Charles 13 /15lbs lighter,Walcott about10lbs?
Remember they are not weighing in on the day of the fight now .

 

About 230

 

A properly fit Cooper was under 220lbs.
For the following he weighed;
Holyfield 215lbs. Cooper aged 25
Foreman 211lbs . Cooper 24
Williams 209lbs. Cooper 22
Bowe 208lbs. Cooper 26
Mercer211lbs. Cooper 26

 

It is quite hard to see your point. There is a difference between crusierweight and heavyweight, I am quit sure you must agree. Usyk never beat one quality heavyweight. I am not saying he can't, I am just saying the jury is out for him in that weight class. Consider that there is a long list of cruiserweight champs who have not done too well at heavyweight.

Now, Usyl has been very inactive. it is time for him tp get back on track.

 

How many cruiser champs have fought for the heavyweight title ?

 

Holyfield
Gomez
Toney
Mormeck
Haye
Adamek

Missing anyone ?
