    Holyfield. I can’t separate what he did at Heavyweight from him as a Cruiserweight. At the core it’s the same man, same fighter.

    Never thought Commander Vander would get overtaken in the running for greatest CW of all time. But, Usyk's gone and done it!

    I mean, yes, Evander defended his titles more, etc, but main thing for me that stands out is the stiffer competition Usyk's faced while always fighting away from home, and more often than not in opponent's backyard. It's ridiculous.

    Usyk
    Dude entered the pros and didn't take no pitty pat fights.
    He fought no plumbers, then clean sweeped the WBSS and took belts like he bought them at Walmart then went up to heavyweight and did the same ****

    He'd humiliate Nelson. You also left off guys like Lebedev, Jirov, and Toney who would have destroyed Nelson.
