    nah Usyk isn't physically strong enough to hold back tyson's mass... Tyson was weighing 230 in his fights. I don't see Usyk at 200 pounds keeping him at bay. Tyson runs him over like a bulldozer

    have to favor prime Mike at this point. prime Holyfield is incredibly overrated though, think Usyk might take him.

    Who knows, Mike never fought southpaws, let alone one like Usyk. Usyk never fought anyone like Mike at his best.

    It's foolish to project how people would do against a stance or style they never actually fought with any certainty.All I know is it's a fight I'd love to have seen.

    It goes like this: any threat to the mancrush of one of these fanbois is either cheating or overrated or both.

    They are very similar in weight. Mike came in at 216 pounds prime. Usyk is 210.

    You're right! I've noticed a trend. For example, before the first Ward/Kovev fight, I never heard about Ward being a dirty fighter, or Jacobs being on PED's but, once a fight is made one of ther hero's, all of the sudden guys are dirty cheats.

    Usyk beats Tyson, any year Tyson.
    The real fights usyk vs Prime holyfield.
    That's a tough one to pick. Not sure I've seen enough usyk to make a pick.

    Actually, I know I haven't seen enough of usyk to pick him vs any true ATG. Nope, Tyson isn't a true ATG imho.

    Atg name and easily one if the most known hw but in the actual ring he's not even close to a real atg,

    I'd have a problem with people rating Tyson we one of the real atg hw, never mind true ATG fighter

    I get how just about anyone and everyone that's accomplished anything has certain fans claiming they're great atg special elite blag blah blah.

    Tyson was one of the most could've would've should've creations ever

    unifying HW to undisputed in the 80s has to be considered more than unifiying to undisputed a subset of HW....and at a much younger age.

    its clear than tyson was greater h2h, but thats no diss on 2Slyk

    hes dirty but not unduly more than many others, you are right. many were worse.

    kovie fans should just accept that he lost at least one fight vs ward. i have and I'm a massive krusha fan.

    Nah, you're wrong! I've been coming to this site for over 13 years now. It wasn't until the first Kov fight people started on about Ward being dirty. Sure there were comments made about the Kessler fight but, nothing like the hate Ward got in the build up of the first Kov fight.
    Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Ward isn't rough in there but, my feeling is, if Kov knew he was up against it, meaning the ref and judges were paid off, especially in the rematch, he should have gone dirty himself. At that point he had nothing to lose, except the fight, which he lost anyway. So that tells me, either Kov isn't the guy his fans thought he was or Ward wasn't that dirty to Kov, so Kov felt there was no need for retaliation.
