      Michael Jordan wasn't a cruiserweight, or even a boxer, so maybe that's who he was talking about..

        Gassiev was very disappointing in that fight. At CW, he would punch with real bad intentions. There was no ferocity at all in his punches against Wallin and he was covering up or stepping back out of range after landing anything, instead of staying up close where he needed to be against a taller guy with a long jab.

        He's had long periods of inactivity and now he has those strange bald patches in his beard. I'm wondering if he has some sort of ongoing medical issue.

            People who seem to think they know more about boxing than they do gravitate towards triangle theory. I mean it seems to make sense, that is until one looks more carefully and with some real time and effort...

                So Usyk can't be the best ever cruiserweight because his best win there moved up and lost to Wallin at HW?

                But Holyfield's best wins at the weight were Qawi and DeLeon, both of whom imo would've lost to Wallin and did in fact lose to worse fighters than Wallin. So does that prove Holyfield isn't the best cruiserweight ever either? Who is?

                  Looking forward to seeing what he's going to be wrong about next to try to support his Usyk hate...

                    What's the motivation though? I know OP's trying to provoke people, but who? I don't recall this huge Usyk fanbase saying he's the greatest ever cruiserweight.

                      Wallin is not that bad. He is top 10 hw right now and he is probably the third best Fury˙s win. I believe he beats Whyte.
