Comparing Usyk to Ali is laughable.

    You can shout anything from the rooftops it won't matter although at some point the cops might show up.

        Todays HWs (Usyk and Kabayel excluded) don't even know how to slip a punch or how to block one.
        Has anyone seen Dubois block a shot ever apart from with his face? A high level amateur that doesn't even know how to parry and pulls back in straight lines.

        Fans used to claim Bowe didn't move his head much he did though he was just against skilled, fast fighters who had clean technique that was throwing in combination.
        These guys today are incapable of slipping or parrying a jab even. You have guys like Dubois who is seemingly petrified to even attempt to block a punch with his glove let alone having the skill to counter off of it.

        The skill level today is almost non existent its why guys with actual skills like Usyk and Kabayel are able to so effortlessly negate their physical advantages and break them down.

        Anytime when one of them gets hit they either panic or the tank empties.​

          Worse
          These mugs don't know how to THROW punches
          I've never seen such comical "combos" in my life.

            Joe Frazier performance against Foreman was even worse than Dubois against Usyk, should've signed up for some boxing lessons afterward as well ?

                Usyk fought the same 3 guys for a bulk of his HW resume.
                Fury, who is all size and no skill
                AJ, all muscle and no skill
                DD, all hype and no pay off.

                Wow

                  Did he even land a punch outside of another lowblow?

                  Foreman would have swatted Dubois like a fly also, probably made him take a knee and quit with the first jab he landed lol
                  not a chance that quitter would drag himself to his feet 6 times and go out on his shield.

                  He got lifted clean off his feet with punches from one of the most devastating punchers in history and got back up.
                  He wasn't going down because he was flustered or looking for a way out after getting tapped by a jab unlike Dubois.

                    Dubois was eating 5-6 clean heavy shots before that tap on the side of the head, don't think he quit but was seriously dizzy before going down the first time.
