    Usyk is perhaps more technically skilled than Ali. I personally think Larry Holmes is the superior technician than Usyk.

    Top 3 HW of all time with Ali and Lewis.

    Holyfield is more skilled than both Ali and Lewis. Why is he not mentioned with the top heavyweights in terms of skill

    I rate Hollyfield a lot, number 4 after these 3. Both Ali Lewis records of quality of opposition beaten are better.

    I don't know. Holmes had the jab and footwork but could sometimes be lacking in the head movement.

    Knocking someone out going backwards makes you Usyk level skilled? No...
