    I’d have to say he was ahead of his time. A genuinely special fighter. He beat a prime Joe Gans a year and a half into his pro career at age 20. You can’t really use him as a point of comparison for the era because he was incomparable.

    It's true, but it's not because he was too advanced technically.

    Tom Sharkey would chew Usyk up and spit him out. This is Tom Sharkey we're talking about here.
