Usyk vs Ibragimov, how would this one have gone down?

Tend to agree with this. Usyk throws a bit more than Sultan and he'd probably take it on points. Hard matchup to evaluate, Ibragimov was pretty awkward.

One thing that I have learned since this thread was made is that Iggy switched to the boxing style after the Austin fights because he had chronic hand problems and broke the hand. Just a classic case of staying in the amateurs too long and subjecting your body to too much abuse. That is what led to the cautious style and early retirement.

When he we healthy, he had fast hands that impressed even Tyson, power, the southpaw stance, and real boxing ability to fall back on,

It would have been a great fight with Usyk winning a very tough one.

 

Usyk quite easily, there are levels in this sport and Ibragimov is not even close to Usyk's level...

 

Ibragimov is a forgotten about HW, but he was actually quite a skilful southpaw.. clowned a better version of Briggs than Vitali fought

 

I always had a soft spot for Ibragimov. I was there at Atlantic City when he fought Briggs. Indeed he was very slick and skillful.
