Oleksandr Usyk is on the cusp of being the top 3 greatest fighters ever

i still don't buy into Bellew being a top 5 CW.

 

Forgive me for feeling that Holyfield and Qawi would not have had that many struggles with Bellew. And the great HW's of yesteryear who weighed sub-200... yeahhhh, once again forgive me for feeling Bellew is stale dust in the wind for any of the 50 best sub-200 HW's in history.

 

Now now... let's calm down have some clarity

 

It's not about his ranking, it's about his approach tonight, he put everything he had to get KO within 4 rounds, Holyfield and all the other CWs facing Bellew of tonight would have a dilemma, either go and trade with a man with nothing to lose and risk being KOed or wait till he tires and get an easy victory in the end.

 

...because he was nothing. Haye does not qualify into my statement.

Worth noting that everybody had Haye leading the first fight comfortable until the leg pop.

 

CW is a shallow division historically but tbqh I can easily see an argument for him being the best CW. But of all time p4p there’s not much hope, no slight against him but just how do you out accomplish guys like pacquiao or Duran or SRL

 

Guys like Holyfield and much lesser could have made either decision and been fine.

Usyk chilled and took it easy, that's plenty fine. Bellew was never going to see the final bell. Can't believe the bookies favored it going the distance.

 

he was.

 

Nothing that special about his CW run really. The undisputed tag sounds good but in reality he beat Briedies and Gassiev aka Abraham 2.0. Big whoop. it's moreso his amateur pedigree that speaks of his quality. A long and successful stint at HW might do the trick but for now the fanboys are drawing from his very real potential over the rest of his career in the pros. Chill out and let the man make his mark.

 

...He's on the verge of being one of the top 3 fighters from the Ukraine; but let's hold off and see what Gvozdyk looks like next month.

 

then he wins a title or three.
