    If Usyk turned pro pre-the creation of the CW division he wouldn't need to bulk up to fight literal giants who were way bigger, heavier and more powerful and if he were to be facing a genuine SHW sized giant very occasionally he wouldn't be facing the athletic, skilled, and fast for their size SHW sized giants of today he would generally be facing low skill, slow and unathletic Frankenstein's monsters who didn't even know how to use their range

    And a pre-invention of the CW division Usyk would be the razor sharp, mongoose agility and reflexes, higher output and more accurate Usyk we saw in the WSB and CW division and if you want to argue that version had a (shock horror) close fight vs Briedis and lost a few rounds in some of his other fights at CW, we have to fact in that he's far from a one-trick pony and is a versatile fighter who chose to fight in certain styles for certain fights and when he wants to be much more elusive and difficult to pin down he can box beautifully when chooses to do so

    I think at the very top levels if you give them 10 fights to see who is better, like Usyk vs Lennox Lewis 10 times, they end up winning some and losing some each. I think at the very top levels they are all so smart and talented that you wouldn’t get anyone to dominate it all. But Usyk is definitely up there amongst the best of the best.

    Yup

    He seems to come out on top of every H2H matchup no matter who the opponent is
