from the home of coca-cola, i'm not referring to s



I agree. Is Usyk a Top 5 heavyweight of all time? Hell no
But is Usyk an all time great based on the entirety of his career and accomplishments? Of course

He also said that he could hang in the 2000s Klitchko era and dominate. But would struggle in the 90s era and struggle in the 70s era for Heavyweights, but still be able to hold his own. I agree with that as well

Even though I believe Prime Klitchko bros would beat him he woulda had some success in the 2000s.. He not dominating 70s 80s or 90s they are overrating the fukk outa that dude right now.. they always grading these Euro fighters on some strange curve compared to everyone else

Even though Usyk/Fury 1 is the obvious choice in alot of people's minds, I think it's recency bias that people would chose that

Ford vs Kholmatov is the fight of the year. The back and forth suspense capped off with the final round is unmatched. Usyk/Fury 1 are the bigger names and just had a rematch barely a week ago, so it's going to get the nod

They were doing with Fury. It disgusted me for the past 5 years (before the Usyk vs Fury fights), so many people saying Fury is the greatest Heavyweight of all time and beats everyone. Embarrassing times
