Oleksandr Usyk vs the Greats at Heavyweight
Dennilson got me outraged by his last post with his assertion that Oleksandr Usyk is not a great because he has not outclassed the top heavyweights yet.
Many people think that modern super heavyweights would beat the champions from the past. Usyk at 220lb has shown that is nonsense when he beats fighters that are 3 or 4 stone heavier than him. Literally pound for pound accomplishment in action.
If it was a simple task of jumping all over Oleksandr and using their weight then Fury and AJ would have done it but Usyk boxing skills mean they can not do it. Usyk footwork and work rate are exceptional.
Oleksandr Usyk showed his class by upsetting AJ to win the title and nearly stopping him in the last round, in the rematch he closed the show by winning the last 3 rounds. He battered Fury in round 9 like no one has before and won the rematch with more ease than the first fight.
Usyk outclassed Dubois and stopped him with ease. The angles and pace were phenomenal and triple D did not know what was happening to him. The punches were raining in from all sides. No body has done that to Dubois.
This is all from a former undisputed cruiserweight champion.
So how would Oleksandr Usyk do against the heavyweight greats of the past whith particular interest facing Liston, Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Holmes, Tyson, Holyfield, Bowe, Lennox and Wlad?
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
