Hope Francis keeps winning and makes a hundred million this year. Really think that he is capable of beating all the heavyweights.

Facts. Always corrupt and lame judges.

HellBlazerMNE07 I don't agree with this at all. The heavyweights back in the days used to cut weight, especially water weight like the wrestlers, and they didn't lift weights. Ali during the 60s walked around at 240+ pounds and Tyson during the 80s blew up to 280 pounds and then cut down to 240 pounds during fight camp. The ideal weight for a heavyweight back then was around 210-230 pounds, which is what Usyk weighs now at heavyweight. Francis looks good because this heavyweight era is garbage and weakest along with the Klitschko era. Fury's biggest win is a 40 year old Klitschko and Wilder who learned to box at 19. Wilder's biggest win is a 40 year old Ortiz and he won the belt against Stiverne who is one of the worst champions in history. Joshua's biggest win is a 41 year old Klitschko. Whyte's biggest win is a 40 year old Povetkin. Usyk became the heavyweight champ in his third heavyweight fight. And Zhang at 40 is capable of beating them all. Ali is literally the goat; 19 title defenses and 22 title fight wins in 25 world title fights having fought/beaten around 20 champions and 20 hall of famers. Tyson during the 80s is the most technical heavyweight. And then there's Foreman, Liston, Lewis, Holmes, Holyfield, Bowe and even Vitali who would have beaten these heavyweights.

HellBlazerMNE07 Facts. I don't think much about this lame boxing era, especially the heavyweight era where everyone has been around for over a decade now and still not fought each other, so hope Francis does really good.

@farmermope7914 I like Usyk and it's awesome that he wants to fight the best of his era unlike the others. Fury has 3 lame title defenses in 16 years as a pro heavyweight while Usyk already has , 2 title defenses. They all just need to fight each other at this point.

@war9978 How long have you been watching heavyweight boxing? I know heavyweight history quite well. Both Tyson and Foreman were 200 pounds already at the age of 12 and they did a lot of training to keep their weight down, not to mention great genes. There's a picture of Foreman picking up a cow, videos of him destroying heavybags and pulling cars. Tyson already sparred grown men as a kid and beat 6.5-6.8 opponents during the amateurs and fought opponents being 6.4- 6.7 during his pro years and was always the smallest heavyweight in height and reach, so Francis wouldn't have run through them or had any advantages when it comes to strength and size. Even when Tyson trained Francis at the age of 57, he is still faster and more explosive than a 37 year old Francis. It's well documented in Tyson' autobiography Undisputed Truth and the countdowns for his fights during the late 80s and the 90s where Tyson blew up fast when he wasn't fighting. The nutrition is certainly different in this time and age. Being bigger doesn't win you fights. You need fight IQ, will, endurance, heart, granite chin, grit, character and heart. Usyk is 6.3 and 220-230 pounds and became the champ in his third heavyweight fight. He made a 6.7 Joyce look like an amateur during the Olympics and made a 6.5-6.6 Joshua look like an amateur during the title fights. Making assumptions based upon Francis doing great in his first boxing match makes no sense unless he cleans out the division and wins all the belts by becoming the best of this lame era.

HellBlazerMNE07 What? Ali fought up to 231 pounds. There's an interview with Ali and Clint Eastwood where he says he walked around at 240 pounds during the 60s, check it out. Tyson was in prison when Foreman became the champ and Foreman never fought Lewis because he got robbed against Briggs and then retired. Foreman is easily in top heavyweight list and a special heavyweight. He fought whoever was there unlike the heavyweights today.

@war9978 Bunny Baer was 6.6-6.7 and around 250 pounds with an 84 reach and had 53 ko's. Even Prino Carnera was 6.6 with an 85 reach and at around 275 pounds with 72 ko's. They have some similarities with Francis. But when it comes to Francis and who I think he resembles the most, he actually reminds me of Sonny Liston who was 6.1 with an 84 reach and had 15.5 inch fists, which made him wear special sized gloves. Francis also have some similarities with Jack Johnson when it comes to being a visionary and making a revolution no matter what people think about it. Like I have previously said, the heavyweights back then valued athletic performance and cardio along with skills instead of size and weight training. Francis have become bigger after he started training MMA around 10 years ago with weight training and better nutrition because of all of this.

HellBlazerMNE07 I clearly said that Ali has fought up to 231 pounds and didn't say his entire career. He had Parkinson's disease in his last two fights. Ali's weight was around mostly below 220 during the 60s (206-218) at the highest and around 220-223 at most during the 70s at the highest but also down to around 211 pounds. Ali never did any pushups or weight training according to his trainer Angelo Dundee and training videos. He mainly focused on his cardiovascular system and ran 12 miles every single day amongst other boxing training. He could easily have bulked up to 240 pounds but like I have said earlier; heavyweights back then cut a lot of water weight like wrestlers and focused only on stamina and skills. Foreman fought the best in different era's and style makes fights. There wasn't a chance back then to stay undefeated at all because champions had to be active and fight the top contenders. When it comes to Beterbiev and the heavyweight of this era; Beterbiev should consider moving up to heavyweight if he ends up finishing Bivol considering his past story with Uysk where he has dropped him with body shots and hurt him badly in the first two fights while also winning in the first amateur fight but not the trilogy during the Olympics. Even Shawn Porter beat Usyk in the amateurs. As of now, the heavyweights today are nothing special. They all have been around for over a decade now and yet not fought each other, which they all must start doing.
