Ex-world world, Johnny Nelson, gave his assessment to the chances of the absolute world champion in heavyweight Alexander Usik (24-0, 15 KOs) against boxers of the past.

According to Nelson, the Ukrainian boxer could not defeat Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson.

" And I believe that it is unfair to compare the Usik with one of them. This is all subjective. But Usik defeated everyone in his era. Therefore, you need to look at those whom he won in due time.

And if you recall Ali - he had rivals as Cleveland Williams, Sanny Liston, who was called modern Mike Tayson. And Ali won them. The same with the forman and Freyser.

Therefore, it is difficult to compare. Because it all depends on the styles of battle. And if you ask my personal opinion: I think that Lennox Lewis would have defeated Osik. Ali - too. But this is my personal vision.

Because I remember those times, those fighters inspired me, ”Johnny said for Sky Sports.

Nelson also noted the achievements of a Ukrainian at a professional level.

" He needs to pay tribute not only for achievements in the ring, but also for how he behaves outside him, ”he added.

We will remind, earlier the former coach called the perfect opponent for Usyk.
