    Cool. Now it all makes sense.
    I'm a boxer for my college actually and I'm ripped, so reasonably athletic.

      Uysk is still untested at HW but he is definetely not undersized. Dude was a huge CW and will be a decent sized heavy.

      In a fantasy match up it would be interesting versus Foreman. Foreman as great as he was, was a bit lumbering. Uysk would enjoy a huge speed advantage.

        Usyk's goal of conquering the heavyweight division is a monumental task.

        If he can successfully pull it off, he pretty much buries all the fantasy talk about guys like Marciano, Ali, and Dempsey being too small for today's era.

          Prime Big George Foreman would crush Usyk. Hell, early comeback Foreman would KO him too.

            Nope. Just a guy who's Boxed and watched lots and lots of Boxing.


            You should try both.

              Yeah. How's that competing in a meaningful sport?

              Have you ever Wrestled played Football or Baseball?


              Anything requiring muscle mass?

                  If you know what Gaelic football or hurling is then you'd know they're very physical sports. Most yanks consider hurling a crazy sport to be playing but it's damn fun and requires tons of skill.
                  Boxing is still the most demanding sport in my eyes so now I know you're a bull****ter. I've even done BJJ, sailing and a few others. I'm a big fan of sports dude, be it playing or watching them.

                    I agree with him that Usyk likely ****s Zaire Ali out

                    He'd have flopped on the ropes all night and usyks stamina would never run out.

                      Not really as he's 30 to 40lb bigger than marciano and depsey who would in all likelihood be destroyed by bertebiev let alone modern cruisers let alone modern heavies and super heavies.

                      Usyk's skills are also light years ahead of those steak and potato eating cavemen
