    I don't think Usyk's any less famous than Chisora. You need to broadly follow boxing to know who Chisora is, and once you're doing that it's hard to imagine you wouldn't know who the champ is, especially considering he's the guy who tore through Chisora and every other popular UK fighter, and did it mostly in the UK.

    Yet it won’t be inconceivable for a full fit CEJ to defeat these guys because he is one tough hombre. I have always felt that a mistake made with him was that he could have been an excellent MMA fighter instead of a boxer because he is one tough son of a gun who would excel in freestyle combat. I don’t think he is a natural boxer technically speaking but he is improved in that sense. As for your definitions I understand what you are saying but unfortunately those definitions are not widely used and yes British domestic fighters tend to be overrated then again you get guys like say a Lloyd Honeyghan who for quite a period was a complete fighter a tad unappreciated by his countrymen. Yes they knew he was good but more a case of so what because they felt he was a womanising playboy ragga man.

    Regardless if he is overrated or not I always like watching the guy fight and root for him plus he’s good in interviews / pressers and has good fashion sense . Hard not to like the guy

    You ain't seen nothing yet , over the next decade Chris will be marketed as some sort of super gentleman and cash in to the max ( expect to see him on tv even more than the Tony who wants to be left alone ). personally i like the kid but anyone selling him as an elite fighter is a tad above what he really has achieved in his career to date , world class but not elite is my opinion of him in the boxing ring , as for the way he handled Benn & Hearn outside of it THEN he's Rocky Marci****ingano.
