Uysk would not be a long time champ in the 90’s

[WillieWild114]

Uysk benefits in time a with gigantic heavyweights. In the 90’s with heavyweights that were normally 6’1-6’3 or shorter they would taken advantage of his weakness for body shots easily especially the boxer below 6’0.

usyk would have no chance versus short fat heavyweights with long arms

[elfag]

Dubois ko'd him with a legal body shot the ref made a bad call agreed it could happen again with the 90s stacked division

[Shrap]

The body shot myth continues even after Fury tried it and failed.

He could very easily have been a long reigning champ in the 90s. He has the skills and IQ to take on anyone and has the most crucial ability of all - the ability to continuously make adjustments to overcome his opponent. And he always finds a way to win.

1 it's not a myth it's on video showing the legal bodyshot

2. Fury won the rounds he threw bodyshots and later gassed. If you are winning the rounds most people would call that effective

Carry on

Lol most heavyweights today are between 6'1 and 6'3. Just because Tyson Fury, Wilder and Joshua are taller doesn't mean every heavyweight mow is that height. Also back in the 1990's you had Michael Grant, Jose Luis Gonzales, Mike White, Stanley Wright, Lance Whitaker, etc who were 6'7 to 6'10 and who weighed between 250 and 300 pounds never mind the guys who were 6'6.

This is how you can tell a person is a casual fan who just repeats what ESPN says. When these little kids start acting like being 6'5 plus makes you a super heavyweight and these little kids acting like there weren't tons of 6'5 plus heavyweights since the 1970's.

But Usyk isn't good. Him beating overrated Tyson Fury doesn't change that fact.

Uysk would most likely would not beat Larry Holmes who is way faster and longer.

Fury doesn’t hit harder than Dubois plus he’s 6’7 it’s harder for taller opponents to hit body shots on opponents that are 4 inches or more shorter than them especially if they are fighting on the inside and is good defensively
