    Uysk is different levels.

    Dubois just didn't get close to him.

    Not really, usyk just walked through him with ease and you could possibly say DDD quit on the floor again.

    Usyk is an intelligent boxer, could see that the way he dismantled previous boxers, whereas Dubois had a punchers chance, unless Usyk became careless the result was never in doubt tbf

    He definitely bottled it and quit, saving himself for another day I guess, he's really not very good.

    Not sure about that.

    As soon as the punch landed I said he wouldn’t be getting up (so soon after the other knockdown)

    Having said that I was watching it with @askewshair and he kept making me drink so my judgement might not be the best

    Be interesting to see how Uysk would have fought against the greats.

    Difficult to make comparisons but if he had matched up against Lewis or an early Tyson i think they would have beaten him.

    Holyfield was a great Cruiserweight and top Heavyweight i also think he would have beaten Uysk, not saying that Uysk would not be up there with them but boxers of old seemed to be a lot better than they are today.

    Uysk is in the division now were there is not many top boxers as there was years ago in the division, years ago there were many top boxers in the division at the same time and most in the division now would not be anywhere near the top back then.

    Not his fault but he is dominating the heavyweight scene when it is basically at it's poorest it has been for decades.
