    Care to explain why Usyk should be rated above these top 10 Heavyweights for beating Dubois again ?

    Ali
    Louis
    Lewis
    Holmes
    Marciano
    Tyson
    Holyfield
    Wladimir
    Foreman
    Frazier

    Why should he be rated ahead of Bowe even? Both undisputed, Bowe had better wins and far deeper resume.

    Pretty simple. He would beat everyone one of them head to head.

    So why is everyone jumping on the bandwagon then claiming Usyk is the greatest for beating Dubois again ?

    It's definitely a knee-jerk reaction after that win.

    Because of the absolute ease with which he beat a guy who had clearly improved and was coming off of a destruction of AJ. No one is shocked he won, but the dominant way in which he did it at 38. One has to be dead inside not to be impressed.

    Usyk can then box 32 more matches in order to equal Ali's record.
    Wear and tear is a thing of the past that only affects old timers....

    Usyk has conquered two divisions and is still undefeated at the age of 38, Usyk has never allowed himself to be defeated by a fighter worse than him as happened to heavyweights in previous eras, don't look for excuses, Usyk is better than all of the above...

    The cruisers in the division that he absolutely conquered were basically heavyweights in earlier generations.

    The whole premise of the thread is flawed. Usyk was a made man long before he fought Dubois

    I never said it wasn't impressive but I don't understand the knee-jerk reaction to people proclaiming Usyk as the greatest Heavyweight for beating Dubois who isn't that good and who Usyk already beat comfortably 1st time and who he was an overwhelming favourite against ?
