    I have Usyk as a p4p ATG. Just my opinion so not worth a whole lot, but I suspect it is shared by many. Overcame shoddy corrupt judging to beat the house HW twice. And overcame adversity with a horrible round 9. And cleaned out the best division in the sport.

    But yes. Bona fide, no doubt about it p4p ATG.

    Great fight, but the judge who scored it for Joshua should be barred.

    Usyk has proven it all. Bring on Fury, sure, but Usyk is the top pound-for-pound fighter in the world.

    Congrats Usyk and Ukraine.

    Can't say he cleared it when he hasn't even faced wilder or fury.

    Wilder? lol

    He wants Fury. Not sure Fury wants him.

    Undisputed cruiser and beat "the monster" at heavyweight.

    I respect Innoue, but Usyk is the top guy.

    Bring on Fury.

    For now, he is. But when he gets his ass beat by Fury, he will be number 2. But there is no shame in being number 2 to Tyson Fury.

    Why? He beat a body builder. Everyone here does not rate AJ so why does him beating AJ make him the best? Fury is and will always be the best HW of his generation.
