    So after all the talk of Usyk bulking up, he's about tge same weight as last fight.
    AJ 4lb heavier than last time, now almost 2 st heavier than Usyk.

    it's not just about an individual champ though. There are so many good fights happening and it's excitement that matters.

    Wlad in his prime may have beaten anyone around today but his era was boring. Nowadays you've got massive fights like Fury vs Wilder, Usyk v Joshua etc happening.

    There's been so many good fights over the last 4-5 years.

    That's what I define as a good era, not just that one of the best ever was in it, but that it was entertaining.

    Who’s the last heavyweight champion that had the technical ability and speed to beat prime Tyson Fury? Please don’t say the Klitschko brothers.

    Maybe Lennox Lewis? Or Hollyfield.

    I don't think Klitchko's (even in their prime) would handle Fury. They had an impressive reign, but had very little true competetion.
