Again, the difficulty of comparing eras, I suppose.

For me right now, Ali will always be the no.1 heavyweight, but it isn't Usyk's fault that he didn't get to face the likes of Frazier, Foreman, Norton, Liston.

He's proven himself definitively in the era in which he found himself.

He never faced ‘Enry’s ‘Ammer either

It would have been a points decision.

In fairness to Bugner he was a lot better than credited for.
He just hadn’t got that killer instinct.

He killed someone. That was the problem.

Yes, I forgot that.
Bad choice of word on my behalf.

Joe Joyce was just winning before he inexplicably retired (probably for good) in the eleventh.

Audley Harrison was called Fraudley, I’m sorry but Joshua is the biggest fraud in boxing. Embarrassing how heavyweight boxing has become.

Had to listen on the radio on the way back from a gig. The consensus was his punch resistance has totally gone. Not even a big shot to put him down the first time?

With respect, Audley lost to David Price.

He’s not a fraud. He got to a good level, but wasn’t true elite if you take the view world champions can be tiered. He should stop now though, because he’s gone and could end up getting hurt.
