Usyk is a great fighter, at his peak at cruiserweight but still great at heavy. They should call Fury a super-heavyweight, too big for most fighters. New division needed--super-heavyweight--230 lbs & up.

Enough of this " it only takes one punch" at Heavyweight crap , as if it's only true at Heavyweight. It's true in any weight class , in any fight.

The only problem with a "new Division" is there would only be a handful of fighters in that division. Plus Usyk proved that there is a way to fight guys like Fury and Joshua that are that tall same with Holyfield when he came to the HW division also can't forget mike who was small compared to other HW.

The P4P mythical merry go round continues to spin. Let's revisit this when Crawford becomes undisputed in an unprecedented 3rd division,..

Fair assessment.

Which was a better P4P win, given the size differences and current fighting status? Crawford over Spence or Usyk over Fury?

Both great wins for sure, either way

Yes, but it really is particularly true at HW. The human body simply cannot withstand the full-force punch of 230+ lb men, whereas world class featherweights routinely land hard all night with both guys staying upright (not always). The adage definitely applies to all divisions, but its certainly correlated to size.
