    I don't rate a guy until he has retired ,what I'll say about Usyk is he would be competitive.

    He hasn`t been hit with the power that Rock and Dempsey would have hit him with and Walcott could drop him the way he dropped Louis, I think if Charles had of fought at cruiser he would have been almost unbeatable at this limit.

    He's been hit by Joe Joyce and Gassiev. Usyk is a very well rounded fighter.Charles was an ATG at lhvy, maybe the best,you're not far wrong with your assessment imo.

    I am prepared to say that he is one of the most complete fighters of his weight from any era!

    His potential ceiling is massive!

    Joyce wouldn`t be able to land a punch on Usyk anyway, Joyce has less chance of beating Usyk at heavy than Bellew because both Tony and Usyk have a better guard than Joyce who fights like he`s pissed!

    I would not compare them stylistically, but they are both very complete fighters.

    The difference is that Usky is fighting in a weight class where such a fighter comes along once in a blue moon.
