    Are these 15 rounds fights or 12 round fights ? Are these fights fought in Usyks era or the opposing fighters era ? Fantasy match ups so only peoples personal opinions but how many rounds and in which era fought could well have a bearing on the outcome .

    I favor 36 year old Usyk over the 36 year old versions of any of those guys including Foreman who was still fighting in his later years. Slow Foreman would struggle to land anything on Usyk. It’s impossible to know but I saw all of those guys struggle against good opposition.

    People act like Ali walked through all opposition without a scratch. He took a ton of punishment especially later in his career. I’d take 36 year old Usyk over 36 year old Ali.

    The only one I would back more than a 50-50 is Frazier. Ali wold be a 50-50 but I would favor Usyk over anyone else.
