Is it inevitable that Usyk will be considered the H2H GOAT in boxing history

I like how you immediately shifted to Byrd after bashing on Ali like Byrd is some kind of ATG

 

Chris Byrd is not beating Smoking Joe Frazier

 

That would be a weird fight to watch.

 

Jesus, I'm an Usyk fanatic and even I find this odd.

Usyk has his place in the pantheon, and would undoubtedly beat most past greats, but they had countervailing great attributes, and fights with guys like Ali, Frazier, Tyson and Lewis would be great, competitive fights. I just don't think it is right to award Usyk heavyweight GOAT-ness when he's only had five championship fights at the weight so far. He has a great, uber elite, hybrid cruiser-heavyeight legacy. And that's good enough for me.

 

wow.... just....... wow.

He's also slower, less agressive with a lower output, much worse head movement and defense in general and can be discouraged.

Byrd isn't having an easy time with Frazier.

 

He’s around the size of George Foreman and moves like a middleweight… not an easy man to beat.

 

and here lies the 'problem' with Achievement based assessment,

ABC Titles and title wins & defences in them, with few fights comparatively, including ones opponents too...

Usyk as far as I can see is a 'normal' good fighter, nothing special, but then again it is the same cry & lament of the last 30 years, especially among the rediculous Super - Heavyweight Division.

far Greater fighters in the History of the Sport, Dozens of them.

 

I don't see him beating the likes of Lewis, Holmes,Ali.
Those guy's proved themselves for years and year's, beating all shapes and sizes.
Usyk has dominated the past few year's but I'm not calling him the GOAT just yet.

 

Usyk has a H2H incredibly impressive resume, I actually love the guy, I don’t like his style I think it’s “eh” and a bit limited but he is very successful with it and would beat a lot of the HW’s of the past.
