    Better of course he KO'd Dubois who has subsequently stopped AJ, Hrgovic and Miller

    Usyk beat AJ at his best twice

    Usyk has beaten Belly, AJ x 2, Dubois and Chisora in his five fights at HW and his weakest world level win at HW in Chisora was subsequently robbed against J-Park and beat Big Joe Joyce and Usyk is a blown up CW who is much better and much better suited at CW than he is at HW and he's almost 38 years old

    These.

    If he came up a decade ago, he would've been put in his place & forgotten about like all the other blown-up CWs who challenged the Klitschkos.

    Usyk, who is older than Joshua, beat Joshua first three years ago. That Joshua was a fresher, younger, less shop worn version than the one from tonight. I never understood this logic that a win becomes be less impressive because of the result of another fight that’s taking place years later. By this logic, everyone is only as good as their last showing. Tonight’s result hardly changes anything. Joshua was caught by a hungry, big puncher that’s what, some seven or eight years younger than him. It’s HW boxing, it happens.

    Hardly. Usyk slapped Wlad around in sparring, and Wlad admitted that even in his prime Usyk could have beaten him.

    Yet Usyk's wins over Fury and Joshua are better than anything Wlad ever did.

    I agree with you for the most part. I think Usyk could have been a good HW in any era. But I don't see him being the man in most eras. But as for Wlad, I'm not so sure about that one. Wlad usually fought guys with not a lot of skill. But I guess Wlad could Povetkin the hell out of Usyk.

    Usyk was knocked out with a body blow.. they supported him for the war in Ukraine for something symbolic

    All I know is, Fury is a clear number 2 for now.

    This isn't how boxing works. It's not a barfight.

    His resume is a little worse because he needs to have great fighters on it, and Joshua was the best situated.

    On the plus side, we are spared Usyk-Joshua III.

    Really? I mean, its not that I don't see the argument, but he has not won a meaningful fight in two years.
