    He absolutely dismantled a very dangerous, larger fighter who had never been clearly stopped before.

    Respect to Inoue and Crawford, but Usyk is pound for pound #1.

    Usyk should be counting his blessing that Zelensky himself paid off the referee.

    What separates Usyk is his overwhelming athletic ability.

    Skills, athleticism and power when he sits down on his shots.

    Inoue is close, in speed/athleticism. I don't think Crawford is quite on the same level.

    Usyk is not what he once was. His cardio is starting to go. But his power is getting more as he's flat footed more.

    LOL - hope you're joking. Literally just had one of the worst performances (that was a clear KO) against a mediocre opponent. Will get destroyed by Fury.

    I love Usyk but he once again showed his vulnerability to the body. Dubois is a VERY limited fighter and he gave Usyk more than a challenge than he should've IMO. Guys like Crawford and Inoue dominated better opponents recently without controversy. So they certainly have to be ranked above Usyk

    Putting aside the low shot controversy, he's a joy to watch.

    A true master of his craft. Best boxer in the world imo.

    Usyk destroys Fury, who is aging poorly.

    Fury has tried to age Usyk out, but maybe now he'll feel more confident.

    I was surprised at how thoroughly Usyk dominated Dubois. I did not expect him to be on the front foot that much.

    I had it 8-0 rounds. Dubois just wasn't competitive, and that is saying something for someone of his power, size and durability.

    Usyk does better against larger fighters, who don't have the speed or pace to keep up.

    Usyk postfight:

    Dubois has no power, only when he hit my balls (did he have power).
