    I don't feel like contemporary fighters are tricky enough to challenge the big names of history.

    Usyk is excellent, great tank, great pace, but he seems pretty straightforward to me. Not much for baits or feints just solid basics and very high athleticism.

    Outside of Marciano I don't think he's enough mind to beat anyone on that list. Not calling him tricky or he lacks slickness, just not very tricky.

    I don't think his boxing will save him from Marciano, and I don't think he's athletic enough to really push Marciano or strong enough to hurt Marciano. He's just another fella who'd be ahead on points until he got KO'd.
