LOL, just like Duran was too small for barkley, hagler and Leonard?
And that's a Lightweeight. At Havyweight we've seen generations of men who feasted on larger, sloppier oppoentns. Dempsey vs Willard is as iconic a fight ever. Louis is known for his "bum of the month club". Frazier is the only man to have beaten a prime Ali by bringing the fight to him - and boxig maestro Norton is the only other guy to do it period. Holmes biggest box office his was against Cooney. Tyson is the most hyped Heavyweight short of Ali. And Holyfield had the longest lasting career of relevance in hw history.
If anything, the evidence shows that there IS such a thing as too big. but it's like automobiles - they keep getting bigger, so the "little" cars have to get bigger too to maintain parity. Usyk meets that criteria. I dunno if Marciano, Patterson, Foster or Spinks would've prevailed at Hw today. But Usyk is bigger than them.
Aj and Wilder aren't the rubbish some people make them out to be, but they definitely survived so long by contending in a division notoriously absent of technical talent. It's not like Usyk cannot comfortably bulk up himself. He'll still command the advantages of skill and speed.
