April 9, 1988 Evander Holyfield becomes undisputed CW Champion

Take that Usyk!!

Imagine if he stayed at that weight, he coulda gone 50-0.

- - Imagine if he never took his vitamins?

He'd have never been 28-10-2 as a heavy with the most heavy title losses in history.

Usyk is already 22-0 as a heavy and didn't need a nascent baby division to turn pro.

Back then it was still 190 I think? He would have outgrown it.

Holyfield started out like Billy Graham and became like Carmen Basilio.

Great fundamentals, but a lack of any special tools. So he relied on tenacity, a kevlar jaw, and ridiculous conditioning. Even if he doesn't rank high among ATG heavyweights, he's got P4P cred.

Usyk looks better on film. But I like how Holyfield, who had no real reason to abandon Cw when he did, spent a career chasing big fights against big opponents. And always brought the fight. Gotta respect that.

Billy Graham the preacher or pro wrestler?

Billy Graham the preacher or pro wrestler?

I mean, we all knew you'd make this joke. So... thanks?
