    Let's see what the ignorant masses are going to say about Usyk next. He beat both Fury and Joshua twice, they golden boys of the Heavyweight division for years. Are they still going to say Fury is the HW GOAT ? That past Heavyweights that were Usyk's size cannot compete with the behemoths ? Let's see them try.

    but it should’ve been unanimous decision, not split

    Nah, that lucky nose punch.

    Great boxer but for the time being was not able to do anything against Fury until he broke Fury’s nose.

    I’m sat on my balcony in Ibiza. Bring it. Let all your Usyk love wash over me. I can take it.

    First off Fury was never anything special. Joshua was constantly called a slow robotic body builder. But when Usyk beat him afer Ruiz it means someting. Second off the people who act like the heavyweights today are bigger than heavyweights from the 70s on are clearly casuals. Ali back in the day were beating 6'6 guys like Ernie Terrell. Foreman was beating 6'6 guys like Jack' Halloran and 6'7 250 pound guys likes Bob Renfrow. There were literally 100s of 6'6 plus boxers in the 1990's alonw and I never heard anybody claim they were super heavyweights or behemonths.

    Broke his nose. Knocked him down. Won several of the early rounds.
    Man, he just got lucky!

    That nose punch was exactly lucky punch. Everything from that point was mainly thanks to broken nose. And yet even with that broken nose and knockdown Usyk was not able to dominate the way Fury dominated Usyk before that lucky punch.

    Look at the top fighters of previous eras and tell me if they were this big on average. Fury, Wilder, Joshua, Wallin, Parker, Joyce and Zhang are all over 6'4 and only Parker is below 6'6. How many Terrells, Bugners and Peraltas were there in the 70s ? I'm not claiming they are all better than all the old giants (Terrell would do very well today IMO) but there are certainly more of them now. Guys in the 60's were usually smaller than Ali and about the same size as him in the 70's.

    This was also the case before Usyk's win today.

    What are you talking about? Crawford is very much in the P4P #1 discussion.
