    Heavyweight boxing has never recovered and seen the level that it was in the 80’s and 90’s. There’s simply nobody about for Usyk to fight.

    Never a contest. Usyk in amongst the all time greats.

    Absolutely an all time great now. That was easy for him because of his ability, I’m not sure Dubois should get any pelters.

    Bam Rodriguez putting on another beat down on a good fighter. Just whooping anyone in his path.

    Special special fighter him. Got to be in the talk for pound for pound at the moment.

    Think DDD was very poor personally. At that level, you need to have a plan and offer something got the opponent to think about. He did nothing. Footwork was garbage. Zero jab, and that just allowed the southpaw to take your head off with ease, and he did.

    Usyk is obviously a top top fighter, generational but DDD didn't put on a good effort.

    Super talent like. Made Sunny Edwards look like a white collar fighter as well.

    I don’t disagree with what he should’ve done mate just think Usyk doesn’t let you have plans. He’s awesome.

    In my head it's Ali, Frazier and Foreman. Don't watch it anymore

    All greats and Usyk is up there as is Lennox. Tyson has a cracking knock out and scary presence but wasn’t all that against true contenders. Holyfield was better in my opinion
    I’m just a test icicle from Seaham though.
    In fact Lennox Lewis is my favourite of all time, cool as **** and nails.

    Probably the best place for this.

    RIP Joe Bugner.

    I remember watching the Bugner - Ali fight as a kid. Because I didn’t know any better I was wanting Ali to win. Unforgivable I know.

    That this didn’t make it onto the BBC website as a main news story is expected these days but still sad.

    Hope Prehab is reading still

    Absolute masterclass from Bud.

    I do feel after that, Canelo's time with fighters among the elite is over. He still had flashes but I've never seen him get visibly frustrated like that. He got caught with punches hes never seen before.

    Crawford is an abnormal being, physically hes big and strong despite operating at super lightweight not 10 years ago. His wingspan is freakish, he uses it to his advantage. He's obviously very quick too, with his feet, his reflexes and his punches.

    The way he puts it all together with his technical prowess is actually a joy to watch, he looks like he has fun in there everytime.

    He deserved a spot in the limelight, I think he should go out with this bang, the only thing he could probably do now is beat someone at middleweight, I cant even think who the MW champs are now? Is that one with the funny name still knocking about? Alhimkunay or something?
