Yes or No: Usyk would have beat every opponent Tyson faced pre-Douglas.

Hallelujah and praise be, oh fellow truth spreader brother, Serginald.

There's truly only one Kingdom to hail from....

 

dude he was a monster...

 

Briedis was a monster. That monster at 40 years old smashed Opetaia to pieces, and only the 2 year inactivity lost him the match. Prime Briedis is something else.
Beterbiev is a monster as well.

Everyone have tough fights and styles. But we are also talking prime, prime version of this fighters.
Was Usyk prime against Beterbiev? He wasn't, he still beat him twice though.
Usyk was in his absolutely prime against Briedis, but according to him, he had one of the worst camps, and he changed trainers shortly afterwards. He wasn't happy with his conditioning and preparation.

Still it's a different game where you give so much height, reach, size, weight, being significantly older than your opponents, etc.

 

I have a plan, you two should meet up to discuss the possibility of starting a podcast/YouTube channel to discuss all things boxing in your typical no nonsense, non satirical way. I'd sign up but I'd also expect a percentage of whatever you make

 

We've already got a shared sister company.

It's called: Squire & Squire, Esquire Ltd.

Purveyors of fine music, alcoholic beverages, ladies nylons, and 1kg dealer packs ( for the trade only I'm afraid) of the purest & finest Cocaine that could possible pass through ones nostrils.

 

You're always reckoning something or another

 

Hell yes!.Honestly which of those opponents even had a chance.Well I guess it would be Michael Spinks but I still think a prime Usyk wins a competitive 12 round decision against him.Tucker,Berbick,Tubbs,Thomas and a 39 year old Holmes were all very good fighters but they would have had a very faint chance of beating Usyk.

 

Many would beat Tysons 80s opposition.

 

Possibly. Not certainly.

 

A couple of those opponents would be tough for him . . . I will still say yes, good chance he would beat them all.

However, not in the dominating fashion that Tyson dismantled them in . . . and I think a peak Tyson would beat Usyk

 

Yes only in less spectacular fashion.

 

I'd say no. Tyson was 37-0 33 ko's before he lost . Usyk at heavyweight is 8-0 with 2 ko's , Usyk would have a lot of grueling fights with some of those opponents unlike Tyson.

 

That is a big call because those guys could really fight.

 

Sorry but Paul would be murdered. I hope for both his sake and yours they never actually make the fight with AJ as I genuinely fear for his life when AJ hits him properly like he did Ngannou.

 

Blonde Bomber flatlines AJ.
