Jesus Christ well that's not rocket science is it, given that 38 year old Ali, an Ali who through his own machismo and showmanship allowed fearsomely powerful men to pummell him for a decade as a strategy, was utterly washed up when he fought Larry Holmes and we all saw how that went. If you're using that as any kind of barometer that Usyk was better than Muhammad Ali just because you're all hyped up after watching him beat the pudding who beat the pudding, then i despair.

I'm taking nothing away from how good Usyk is, i like the fella alot and he's a fabulous example of how a champion should be and behave, and clearly the best of his era which is all you can be - but lay off the crack pipe with the Ali comparisons please.
