    Yet every good fighter he has fought has landed flush

    He's his toughest match imo
    Usyk has a good chin and his weakness to the body may not be what many says, but I don't think he likes it to the body and tyson will land plenty of fast and hard combinations. Usyk is also the perfect height for Mike and would not tie him up often

    He is very skilled, but not skilled enough to keep Mike off him. Tyson isn't breidis or chisora

    Come on now Mike Tyson was a knockout machine. Usyk IS TOO SKILLED to knock his opponents out. He literally can’t knock out any elite fighters. He is just that good.

    I don't agree Tyson has a easy time with Uysk. He would still have to throw and work at a faster pace than he usually does. I mean he might beat him but it would be hard work.

    What I mean to say is Usyk can’t punch himself out of a wet paper bag. But his fanboys act like it’s something to be admired.

    All those fighters from past eras….if Usyk is behind on the cards he is not turning it around by knocking them out I know that much. That’s just not on the table.

    He definitely doesn't punch hard enough to discourage Mike and he gets hit often by many of his subpar opponents

    Mike would eat him up and imo it wouldn't be difficult

    Frazier is the most overrated Heavy of all time. Having a good style against Ali is his only standout claim.

    You can't really compare eras. Usyk has proven he is the best right now but that doesn't mean he beats every heavyweight in history.

    Slow down. You think he’s getting past ‘67 Ali? He doesn’t do a single thing better than Ali did back then. Slower feet. Slower hands. Less power. Slower reflexes. Gets hit more.

    sorry. I don’t see it.

    is Usyk great? Yes. Would he be competitive at any time in history in the division? Yes. Might he eke out a decision against some greats? Yes. But he’s not taking Muhammad Ali at his best.

    Answer to the poll - Hell no.

    Needed some humour in my day though.

    It's a great fight. Uysk better chin, more technically sound, better punch variety, southpaw...

    A left hook was poison for Ali.
