    Remember when people said Usyk would be a big 235lb heavyweight

    They said thi guy was a man mountain and was absoloutley killing himself to make 200lbs, and that as soon as he stopped cutiing masses of weight he would be a big, big heavyweight, 6'3" 235 to 240, and Fury and AJ wouldn't have "that much" of a size advantage on him?

    I remember dudes saying he was a bigger man than Povetkin, Chisora, Whyte etc.

    Well, 2 years after he stopped having to make 200lbs and he weighs in at 217lbs lol

    As much as it pains me, I was right again and this guy was not a massive cruiser who was going to be a physical dominator at heavyweight, turns out he was cutting a mere 17lbs, I know lightweights who cut more than that LOL

    I remember MFers saying Del Boy would bash him.

    Those same people are not so vocal on the matter now.

      I sure never said that. He was not lean looking at 200 pounds and he would be fat at 235 pounds.

          If someone was 235 naturally without much fat then I don't think they would try to make Cruiser weight usually.

          It's not easy to be 200lbs to 235 in fighting shape without use of drugs.
