    Eastern Europeans are some of the most rational people on earth. Some people on the forum can learn from them.

    Welcome to try and prove me wrong

    And in addition to Terry very often being the much or bigger man, rarely the smaller one, incredibly if ever at all the much or way smaller man

    Fighting at home 40 times in 41 fights, on a heavily or stacked deck, with every foreign champ and world class opponent he's fought bar one bring their world titles to him, many times when he was the challenger and not the champ too, and fighting him on a heavily stacked deck

    Having fought a ton of featherfists and average punchers and barely fought any legit bangers his size, let alone ones much or way bigger or many of the hardest punchers in the sport like Usyk has, many way bigger than him and all in their backyards or on the road

    Terry's weak ass resume is even weaker than it appears

    Spence was post-car crash and he, forged a career cleaning out 147 of its career 140 pounders and 135 Mikey and like Terry has barely fought any legit punchers, let alone ones his size or bigger. The KO% of Spence's opponents is embarrassing

    Porter was coming off double hip replacement surgery and never fought again

    Brook was shot and had suffered not one but two broken orbital sockets where they had to remove his eyeball via his mouth to repair the broken bone

    Benavidez was a peg-leg cripple whose leg was an absolute mess after he got shot in it and he clearly struggled with moving in and out of range

    Terry is a superb fighter but no one would have Usyk P4P#1 if the roles were reversed and he had Terry's resume, accomplishments and vice versa. Terry would universally be considered the P4P#1 and receive way more credit and respect for his achievements than Usyk does by many and we all know it too.

    Terry's best wins in 41 fights

    Spence
    Postol
    Porter
    Gamboa
    Burns

    41 fights all bar 1 at home all smaller than him or at worst the same size none of them close to being big punchers, let alone murderous ones or huge ones his size or way bigger.

    One of the extremely rare instances Terry fought a legit banger his size he got dropped, by Mean Machine who is C level. Now imagine him in with murderous punching or huge punching world champions his size or much or way bigger.

    GTHOH

    How many times has Terry been outweighed by 50lbs?

    40lbs?

    30lbs?

    20lbs?

    10lbs?

    Even just 5lbs?

    How many times has he been at a reach disadvantage?

    How many KO artists or legit bangers has he fought his size?

    How many ones way bigger than him?

    Answers please?

    Give me names?

    People wanted to award him a Medal of Honor for travelling a whopping x 1 in his career when he fought Burns in Scotland :facepalm:

    And the two rematches against high-quality fighters don't matter, because if you beat them once, it must be so easy to do it again, duh.

    Never have been super high on Crawfish, even though his wrestling skills and old-school approach of punching unconventional spots (heart etc.) makes me admire him greatly. Just seem like a career against smaller or average man up until now where he is looking shakier.

    Hardly an outlandish statement. If Crawford isn't the best, he's not far away from it.

    Speaking of rematches. Why didn't Madrimov receive a rematch against Terry when he was the champ not Terry, he brought his world title to Terry's country and fought him on a deck stacked with 3 home officials and 1 neutral one, and, duh, their fight was actually razor-close and controversial?

    Usyk had to run through the fire again against way bigger guys who could take his head off with one big shot, Terry got to ride away with Madrimov's belt after winning it on a deck heavily stacked in his favour one of the extremely rare instances he actually fought someone his size who possessed legit KO power. Done. Onto the next. Terry is the better man.

    Just look at the disrespect. Just reverse the roles between Usyk and Terry and you would never see Terry disrespected like that. They don't do it now. If Usyk had fought Terry's opposition in his backyard whilst very often being the much or bigger man and barely having fought any legit punchers he would be deemed a hype job by these same people and questions regarding his true legitimacy would always be raised. A same size Usyk could beat the exact same opponents as Terry has and achieve everything he has and I guarantee you those opponents would not be deemed near as high if he did so.

    Usyk is just being nice.
    Objectively Usyk should be no1 until somebody beats him at heavyweight.
    Crawford is good.. but I think currently I put Inoue above him.
    Popularity wise I think Inoue beats both of them.
