I rewatched the Holy v Qawi fights. Was 190lbs back then and 15 rounders. Holy had only ever gone 8rounds before that. He looked exactly like Holy does. Qawi gets his credit too. Holy has a good enough chance against any man who ever lived. If people havent seen it, his fight vs Lionel Byram is great. He was only 177.5lbs. The graphic says it was a light heavyweight fight. But I don’t understand how that is possible with both guys over 175lbs. Toney v Jirov is a great cruiser fight also, at 190lbs I think. HWs like Marciano was almost always below 190lbs and 200lbs. How do these things factor in I wonder?
Can we say that Usyk is arguably the greatest cruiserweight ever

Some states will give some leeway on overages. Illinois will comp you one pound. Maybe he found a lax commission?I rewatched the Holy v Qawi fights. Was 190lbs back then and 15 rounders.

Haye would beat Usyk outboxing him. Hollyfield would KO him.
1. Haye survived Klitschko, didn't he? And he had a toe, lol.
2. Hay had brighter IQ in the ring while Usyk just does what GREAT LOMACHENKO elder told him to do.
3. Usyk was outboxed many times: Bellew, Briedis... But only his great stamina and cardio helped him overturn the fight.
Had Hollyfield and Haye received tournament like Ali Cup, they would both win it.Comment

It was at Madison Square Garden. I just don’t know what to make of it. Nobody ever mentions Evander coming from light heavy. But at 177.5lbs I don’t see how any commission could sanction it as LH. Maybe the number was wrong? I don’t think there’s footage of the weigh in. But the commentators didn’t say anything and I think his opponent was 177 also. Maybe it was just the *****ed up 80s. It’s just something that annoys me is all. We deserve more as fans.Comment

Yes, Usyk is the greatest CW ever.
Golovkin is the greatest MW ever.
Marciano, Wlad or Fury are the greatest HWs ever.
And Loma is the greatest fighter ever.
Who am I missing?Comment
