    I dunno. Price knocked down Tony Thompson and Hammer despite losing. He hits hard the plumber.

    Povetkin has lost a step who hasn’t at 39 it’s obvious these guys avoided him. I’ll tell you this he wouldn’t be doing the back foot cha cha that Parker did all night. What a dud. Povetkin is hated but maybe this division deserves the villain to be on top.

    Joshua is an easy to read stiff idiot. Even past it Sasha pulverises this fraud.

    As far as I know, yes. Back in '06 at MW (165lbs, I think at amateur?). Porter has always been a big boy and had to drop a fair bit of muscle to make him a viable WW (pretty sure his Dad told him he was too short and thicc to play at 154), whereas Usyk must have been a late developer.

    EDIT: Here's his partial amateur record: http://amateur-boxing.strefa.pl/Records/Usyk_Olexandr.html

    Povetkin of a couple years ago, sure.

    Modern Povetkin? Nah. Too old.

    If Povetkin had Parker's speed, I could see it. He doesn't though. He's 38, 6'2, and a bit slow now. Joshua probably wins by KO.

    Except that your example is a lie and mine isn't.
