On the JRE episode, Rogan said of Usyk, \u201cI think he\u2019s one of the best of all time. I really do. I think he\u2019s one of the best heavyweights of all time and his movement is so different.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re constantly thinking \u2018is this coming?\u2019, there\u2019s no silent agreements, there\u2019s no relaxation, there\u2019s no rounds off. Everything is\u2026 he\u2019s putting it on you and moving constantly. Like I always say he\u2019s like a giant Lomachenko<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Usyk\u2019s countryman, Lomachenko, is now retired with a record of 18-3 after losing to Devin Haney<\/a> controversially, as well as Teofimo Lopez<\/a> and Orlando Salido.<\/p>\n Rogan also boldly suggested Usyk is the best heavyweight since Muhammad Ali<\/a>, and, not only that, but Muhammad Ali<\/a> in his days as Cassius Clay.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s one of the most skilful heavyweights of all time. I think you have to go back to Cassius Clay, like before they took his title away.\u201d<\/p>\n Clay had his title taken away from him as a result of his evasion from the Vietnam draft. His last fight before his boxing suspension came against Zora Folley in 1967.<\/p>\n
