Teddy Atlas is overrated. Guy is nearly always wrong.

Wladimir Kiltschko's woman was unwell during the lead up to the first Fury fight. He had issues outside the ring.

I think Kiltschko definitely would of done better in the rematch.

Buster Douglas's mother died & he turned it into a win over Mike Tyson... It had no effect on the fight as Klitschko was the one who pulled out & postponed it. Fury was simply able to nullify the grab & jab. It was the first time Klitschko didn't have a huge size advantage...

He won't be using steroids like holyfield either

I actually almost mentioned that in my post. I didn't because Holyfield likely wasn't the only juicer of his era.

Tyson admitted that he hardly trained for Douglas and he was getting high. And he was going through difficulties with Robin Givens.

No doubt most were at it. steroids or not holyfield was an unstoppable force. That body transformation was a sight to behold tho by the time he fought tyson his neck was like a tree trunk.

Agree 1000% and it is something I've always said

Watching his entire Olympic Run in which he actually lost twice but was GIVEN Decisions (over Erislandy Savon in the first round and in the Finals vs Roberto Cammarelle) because the Olympics was in his home country...his entire career was a bit Manufactured with Eddie Hearn masterfully Pulling strings and matching him up Correctly and very Safely

He has a very Marketable Look/Physique and again Eddie, Sky Sports they did just the perfect job of Building him up into a British Boxing Superstar

Atlas is spot on here......

To be fair, Ruiz isn't just some fat guy. He's got a good chin, reasonable skill and can ****. And Evander Holyfield was a cruiser who made quite a mark in the HW division. Usyk is well-skilled and can out-box many of the HWs out there. But I will say that one thing he won't be able to do is out-**** them like Holyfield did.

When you look at the hype before those fights, Joshua was the favorite by far, because Ruiz was Fat, and Usyk was small! He failed 3 times out of 4! That's the definition of "overrated!"
