    In all sincerity, as a major usyk fan, who do you believe perform better

    As you aren't a fanboy of belly or The bodybuilder like many of us, it would be interesting to have your thoughts

    Shows what an ATG warrior Usyk is! And to bounce back from that and have Fury staggering all over the ring a couple rounds later is testament to that.

    Wonder what was going through Fury’s mind after eating that rocket Left hand that almost put him out…

    Shocking that an uppercut from a man 40 lbs heavier hurt.

    They both got their ass whooped and neither deserve or deserved a rematch, let alone AJ and E-Hearn thinking AJ deserves a third try at trying to beat Usyk

    Belly did better but he also ducked Usyk for years, tried to age him out, and fought a worse version of Usyk than AJ did. He also almost got KTFO

    Neither Usyk vs AJ I or II were close either.

    I'd say Belly had more success against Usyk in some of those middle rounds than AJ did against Uysk in either of their two fights but it was short-lived and if he fought the more mobile and elusive Usyk who AJ fought he likely wouldn't have had that success

    Usyk is the man. I do/did bring him down to try and cool the goat talks, but like you guys say, he has completed boxing and all trolling aside, I wholeheartedly hope he wins in December and announces his retirement

    Good man. I used to be a big Belly fan and even an AJ fan at one time too. But the way they have treated and disrespected Usyk disgusted me and I only worship at The Holy Church of the Usyk God now

    And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that but the simple point is that we are not "prisoners of the moment" because we do not believe that Fury will win next time by hitting him with a punch that Usyk took, and that Usyk himself does not even think of as the best punch he ever took.

    He is a self presented Great
    People tolerate this just when it's true, like for Ali

    I would love to shake Usyk's hand one day, because he disproved all the Newbie Knuckleheads that believe size is the be all and end all, and were saying things like "( insert behemoth name here) would destroy Muhammad Ali" and dumb crap like that.

    It is astonishing that this mentality still exists when Joshua got in the middle of the ring and told the world after the second Usyk fight that he is limited because is so heavy.

    I mean, when you look at Joshua, Lewis, Wlad, Vitali, Bowe, Fury...most of their losses were to guys significantly smaller, so...

    Absolutely true, agree 100%.

    Back in the 'old days', many trainers said that LHWs were dangerous for HWs to face, because not only did they hit hard enough to seriously hurt a HW, but typically had speed and stamina advantages to boot.
