    *except for most of them that he actually fought, like Mitch Green, Tony Tucker, Buster Douglas and Razor Ruddock

    If that was George Foreman in there last night, Joshua would have not seen Round 3.

    Wilder`s got much thinner legs and a much thinner waist.

    Foreman was a lot easier to hit than Usyk was and didn`t have his unpredictable angles.

    He was still learning v Mitch, Tucker had a good chin, Tyson was all over the place without Rooney and stopped Ruddock in their first clash, Ruddock wasn`t that good.

    George had a bigger body and was a big puncher. Usyk is a different fighter, a true cruiser weight fighting heavy for the glory (and the $$$ of course). Usyk moves his head and feet better than any HW I’ve seen. In George’s day, he was big versus his competition. He would be average today.

    George had a bigger frame and probably couldn’t have made 200 in his time. Usyk is a natural 200lb fighter who has to blow up to fight at 221 or so.

    I was.

    I gave him full praise in the round by round thread during the fight.

    I was cheering for him to close the show.

    Brilliant win.

    Can't mix it up today. I'm running around doing family stuff.

    Great win,. All time classic performance.
