O/T Usyk v Dubois

[Brin]

He?s very good Brin no doubt
Still think Tyson, Lewis , Fraser Ali etc would have dominated him.

Pocket, shame we couldn't see all of that. Would have made very interesting viewing, Ali with his hand speed and show boating, Lewis with his dominant style, Tyson like a pit bull but sometimes as high as a kite before he even got into the ring...read his autobiography.

As for Frazier not sure, just seem to stand there and lump it out, think Usyk would have beat him with his fast pace, style, movement etc.

Are you ready to join in with the Prediction League this season?

Bet you go 2-1 all season with the'Predict a score', having said that I think it was the most winnable score last season

Only Patterson, Foreman, Holyfield and Lewis have been 2 time undisputed HVW Champion of the world and Usyk is the only one to do it with the 4 belt format and he dominated Cruiserweight before heavyweight.

Foreman won his second title in 1994 at the age of 45 by beating a 26 year old Michael Moorer - Moorer had just beaten a 31 year old Holyfield to get this fight, Holyfield had just beaten a 25 year old Riddick Bowe to get that fight.



It isn't a debate on whether Usyk is one of the all time greatest Heavyweights. It's a fact.

Not same any sport that sky takes over open golf test cricket doesn't get the same numbers watching same with most world championships boxing. So the likes of Ali Foreman will always be remembered more by Joe public than Usyk.

On about viewing figures. I haven't watched any world championship boxing since it went on pay to view.

The Rumble in The Jungle was 50 years ago - It sold £100 Million in Pay Per View which is adjusted to £640 Million for today's inflation rate

Venues across America were charging £20 per person to come in and watch it on TV which is about $150 adjusted for inflation

Want the figures for Thrilla In Manila? they are almost double for PPV -

Pay Per View has been around since the 1940s in USA - It just came to UK in the 1980s

So your quotes on anything Usyk are meaningless seeing how you haven't seen him fight for how long?
