    Both, I would have thought that was obvious?

      Excuses and excuses for these old guys. Usyk skipped half a training camp to go out and win the war single-handedly, then he came back, kicked Joshua's ass, then went outside of the ring to retrieve his belts that Joshua through out of the ring. Nash out

        Louis did not fight between 27th March 1942 and 19th June 1946,4 years and 3 months .
        That is not an excuse ,it is a fact.

          That may be the case, but Usyk went out and won a war single-handly, then came back, skipped camp, possibly even breakfast, and still destroyed Joshua. Nash out

            Which actions was Usyk engaged in ? Please name one you have personal proof of?
            I'm not referring to morale boosting publicity shots,I'm talking about actual physical combat that Uskl engaged in.
            Gene Tunney was called the Fighting Marine but in truth he never saw action. Trolling seems compulsory here for some posters.Mystifying.

              Like Martin Luther King Jr. the Great Nash had a dream, and in that dream, Usyk was at the front line, swerving bullets as he destroyed thousands of villains with his fists. In time, it became clear to Nash, that it was a vision of what was actually happening, so Nash saw this with his own eyes. Nash out

                You dont think Louis was in physical decline after WW2?
                Well he did and so did his Doctor!

                God ,you can be ****** at times!

                  By the time he was in uniform in spring of 1942 he already had eight years and 50 plus fights under his belt.

                  It's possible, had there been no war he may have faded faster; he was already showing signs of slowing down by '41 and then he lost Blackburn in '42. I could seeing him fighting a few more defenses in '43 and '44 and then possibly hanging them up.

                  Then again since he hadn't paid his taxes since the Schmeling fight in '38 it's possible he wasn't going anywhere for a while, war or no war.
                  Great recap.
