Are the top 3 heavyweights of all time Muhammad Ali, Lennox Lewis and Oleksandr Usyk

I wouldn’t object to it.

 

I think Joe Louis is definitely one of the top 3 heavyweights of all time.

 

Ali, Louis, Marciano.

 

Mike Tyson did more at HW than Usyk

So did Holyfield

So did Foreman

This hype is getting ridiculous now

Usyk has fought FIVE opponents at HW. 3 of those opponents were rematched and NONE of them were anywhere near any type of ATG list.

 

Ali
Louis
Holmes
Foreman
Lewis
Holyfield
Tyson
W Klitschko
Marciano
Frazier

All more accomplished than Usyk even if they might not beat him head to head

 

Louis and Holmes need to be in there for me

 

No.
Usyk is
6-0 with 2 ko's in Heavyweight title fights. 3-0 as being the lineal champion.
12-0 (4 KOs) against former or current world champions

This is what he's competing against.

Joe Louis-
27-1 with 23 knockouts in world heavyweight title fights. This includes the lineal championship as well as undisputed.
10-3 (9 KOs) against world champions
10-3 (8 KO) against International Boxing Hall of Fame inductees

Muhammed Ali-
22-3 (14 KO) in world title fights including the lineal championship.
14-5 (9 KO) against World Champions:
11-3-0 (8 KO) against International Boxing Hall of Fame inductees

Larry Holmes-
20-5 (14 KOs) in world title fights including the lineal championship. Never unified or became undisputed.
11-5 (7 KOs) against world champions
2-3 (1 KO) against international Boxing Hall of Fame inductees

Lennox Lewis-
15-2-1 (10 KO) in World Heavyweight Title fights 7-1-1 in lineal title fights.
14-2-1 (9 KO) against former or current world champions.
3-0-1 (2 KO's) against International Boxing Hall of Fame inductees

Wladimir Klitschko=
25-4-0 (19 KO) in world championship bouts.. 12-2 in lineal title fights
11-4-0 (7 KO) against world champions

Evander Holyfield
11-7-2 (4 KO) in World Title Heavyweight fights.
19-9-2 (10 KO) against world champions
8-5-1 (3 KO) against International Boxing Hall of Fame inductees

 

I don't think would have Uysk at 3rd based on your posts.

 

Imho any TOP 3 ATG HW without Joe Louis are wrong (defended the title 25 times)

 

H2H maybe though I would replace Ali with someone else

 

Ali
Louis
Subjective

I have...
Lewis
Marciano

Usyk's legacy is still being built and will be analyzed in years to come, but it will be a great one.

 

H2H definately not. Hes not even the best from his country H2H.

 

It's Usyk, Ali and Louis for me. Random order.

 

Usyk is knocking on the door of the all time top 10 heavyweights but having him at number 3 is absolutely rediculous and what you expect from people with no knowledge of the history of the sport.
