Usyk gets a time machine, does he clear the top level of every era and go undefeated

If Usyk turned pro pre-the creation of the CW division he wouldn't need to bulk up to fight literal giants who were way bigger, heavier and more powerful and if he were to be facing a genuine SHW sized giant very occasionally he wouldn't be facing the athletic, skilled, and fast for their size SHW sized giants of today he would generally be facing low skill, slow and unathletic Frankenstein's monsters who didn't even know how to use their range

And a pre-invention of the CW division Usyk would be the razor sharp, mongoose agility and reflexes, higher output and more accurate Usyk we saw in the WSB and CW division and if you want to argue that version had a (shock horror) close fight vs Briedis and lost a few rounds in some of his other fights at CW, we have to fact in that he's far from a one-trick pony and is a versatile fighter who chose to fight in certain styles for certain fights and when he wants to be much more elusive and difficult to pin down he can box beautifully when chooses to do so

 

Unlike all the risk averse giant chicken/octopus hybrid have gloves won't travel road worrier slicksters from the modern American school of 'slickness' (which is primarily a fear based school of slickness) many of whom are weight bullies who are terrified of getting clipped by the wind of a punch from light-hitting leprechauns, Usyk is not only a versatile boxer (how can anyone even dispute this? ) but he outboxes his opponents on both the front and backfoot or just by standing in front of you using lateral movement and he does so by utilizing pure skill not running like a cheetah, holding like an octopus and ducking his head down below waist level in order to avoid getting hit even though he's run a gauntlet of savage punching KO artists, savage punching giants, and legit bangers like no other champs in the sport right now have

He's been boxing on the backfoot (when he chooses to do so) since he was a green amateur and he can do it as well as anyone, let alone for a HW
