    It's like they don't understand logic, Foreman was in the low 220s max in his prime and he was muscled up at that weight.

    When he was old and fat with a gut on him he was 240s

    Usyk was the weight of prime Foreman in his last fight and he still looked lean, he was certainly lower body fat than a prime Foreman and he had less muscle on his frame also.

    Usyk would have to gain 10 lbs of muscle AND 10lbs of fat, and then he'd have a body that looked like a prime Foreman, at 235lbs. Again, Foreman was 210 to 220.

    That means Usyk is naturally at least as big as Foreman if not bigger.

    It's like human anatomy goes out the window when it comes to these old school fighters
    They're simply wearing rose tinted glasses and combined that with their incredibly low IQs.

      Hahaha, seriously? You write like that and call me low IQ? Read the part about me studying pharmacology. That should let you know I don't have a low IQ, which I don't. My IQ has always been much higher than average, my nickname in school was Walking Wikipedia.

          Where he'd lose to Bredis, gassiev etc
          Syk had 1 HW fight (vs some nobody) and he's anointed the next ''big'' thing.
          ''Big'' George spent his entire career (in 2 major segments) as a certified HW taking on the best of the of the best (and not in any FANTASY FIGHT) and he would be easy bait ?

          Not until RECENTLY has Wilder been mentioned as an ATG. Ortiz is an old man, yes ?

          No one in this HW era could survive George's road.

            One thing is for sure. Foreman would not be called Big George in this era, lol.

                  I’m actually insulted by what I am reading. Usyk is good don’t get me wrong but on what’s I’ve seen I don’t even thinks he beats Dubois talk less of Foreman

                    It's an insult to George for sure. I mean Isyk is a talented guy and he took cruiserweight by storm but he damn sure isn't Evander Holyfield IMO. He went 7 rounds with Witherspoon for Gods sake in his heavyweight debut. I wont totally disagree with your thought on Dubois either. Usyk is more than capable of being hit and the difference in heavyweight and cruiserweight is massive as far as punching power goes otherwise we wouldnt have a cruiserweight division.

                      Styles make fights.

                      Frazier was a decent cruiserweight I'd have him top 5 if he was around in Bellew era, Bellew is just top 10
