USYK size vs Previous Heavyweight Greats. Exactly the same size as the 70s and 80s elite.

    So what? most heavyweight s today are in a bigger range than 20 percent, most of them are massively overweight or roided
    up, let’s see what usyk percent would be at nearly 230 without roids. not that it matters
    Because he will never get there to function as a boxer he’s not big enough.

    Size isn't everything but in the modern era the division tends to be headed by the larger fighters.. barring the odd upset etc.. saying that though, apart from Fury somewhat the current crop have huge limitations skill wise & he has a skill level that is elite & will narrow the margins of any size disparity.. I can't wait to see how he fairs..

    Usyk is smaller obviously but being in the middle of a shot does naturally make you look smaller.

    Well put it this way we are going round in circles here but 1. Ali age 22, 210lbs fat percentage as low as 200lb boiled down thirties usyk 2. Ali has weighed 2lb short of 230 aged 31 younger than usyks age now with according to you 17% fat so not overweight, just not ripped. Usyk has never weighed anywhere near that yet so what evidence are YOU going on that he’s bigger, a modern colour photo that looks like he should be bigger. Or listening to poor informed idiots On forums, The facts say he is not .Maybe we should carry this on when usyk hits 228-30 if it ever happens, but it won’t because he’s not big enough, What do you say.

    Dude. Usyk has abs at 215 lbs.
    He could be 230 lbs if he wanted to, EASILY. Ali was fatter, end of. I weigh 183 lbs now and I was 160 lbs 6 months ago, am I stronger or more muscular? no, I just put on a bit of fat. It's easy. Most heavyweights are just fat, Ali was never close to Usyk in body fat %.

    There's a picture of Usyk and Whyte looking the same size too. Pictures are deceiving.

    Ok I think you are delusional when presented with facts, that pic of 210 Ali and 200 usyk I would say Ali looked just as low % wise but nearly a stone heavier that’s normal for some posters on here I think we will have to agree to disagree.

    You're the deluded one sir, or just clueless. How on earth can you say Ali looked in the same condition as Usyk whose ribs are showing and you can see his lat muscles clear as day. Ali has a coating of fat all over his torso. You only have to look at their faces to see the body fat levels. Ali has always be doughey, where as Usyk always has a dry, ripped face.
