    Lewis would clean up and never, I repeat never look in any danger of either being knocked out or outpointed!

    Wilder is no more a threat than Micheal Grant and we know how that ended.
    Joshua would hold his own for about 4 rounds then get knocked out and I mean asleep on the canvass
    Fury’s flim flam, herby jerky. Wind and plss, shimmy shammy feigning style wouldn’t work on a superior boxer who has a power and skills advantage while knowing how to use his own 6” 5” 250lb weight against a flabby opponent.
    Usyk gets timed and blown away by a genuine super heavyweight with an amazing boxing IQ of his own

    Honestly, you need to stop trying to understand boxing and go take up drone racing or something

    That`s what I meant, they didn`t display good reflexes etc. No head movement or much hand speed.

    Usyk has far more experience than anyone Lewis beat, only Holyfield`s amateur experiance comes close and the fact that they were both cruiserweight undisputed world champs, Usyk had tons of amateur fights, his fundamentals are far better than anybody Lewis fought, Tyson was finished when he fought Lewis.

    Just scroll past. He posts more than anybody else on the board but has about as much boxing sense as my cat.

    Err he might have a lot of overall boxing experience but barely any at Heavy in the Pro's and that's what's relevant.
    Also Tyson and Holy although similar age to Lewis started Pro boxing 5 years earlier which is why they were passed their best.

    He also battered him HARD with uppercuts in the first round. Everyone held Tyson early.

    I wouldn't label Usyk's fundamentals "far better" than Holyfield's.

    Usyk isn't "far better" than Vitali or even the version of Holyfield Lewis fought.

    Usyk has had 3 fights at heavyweight and just 19 professionally. He's a great Cruiserweight but we don't know he's a great heavyweight yet.

    Idk, beating AJ in his 3rd fight when everyone thought Usyk was too small for heavy is certainly more impressive than any other heavyweights 3rd fight...

    I've clearly touched a nerve because your responding like an irrate 5yr old girl....
    If it's increasingly irrelevant why are you posting on a boxing forum then?
    Also although I don't follow many other sports it's pretty clear they are bigger business now than they've ever been so your factually incorrect.

    It's a fine win but you are including the circumstances of him being smaller and moving up and also as a third fight at heavyweight. Ruiz also whooped Joshua in fight 1. As a win without all the dressing it's excellent but not amazing.
