    I have to think about it

    Tyson Fury both times is the best win on either resume but I think Lewis beat better opposition in his top 7 overall slightly

    Good comp

    How is beating Tyson Fury twice better than beating Holyfield and Vitali ?

    There seems to be an agenda afoot.

    Tyson Fury is better than Vitali Klitschko

    Objectively speaking

    Holyfield was old and past it

    Joshua is a lot better than Michael Grant

    So is Deontay Wilder

    So is Daniel Dubois

    Its hilarious how much older fighters get overrated on here

    Why is Golota on the list. He lost every big fight of his career

    who would you replace him with?. Bruno maybe. Morrison seemed like a shell of his old self by that point. Tyson was past it. Grant was a disappintment. Marovic never fought again. Briggs doesn't have an impressive resume either.

    Someone with wins over ranked opposition. Maybe McCall or Bruno.

    Nope. Having Botha, Golota, a 2 loss Sullivan, a 2 loss Cole, a 2 loss Savarese + some solid b-raters in Gonzalez, Purity and Sanders is pretty dang good.

    Head to head, I'd take him over Joshua anyday of the week, twice on Sundays.

    He is Risen. Blessed.

    The Fury/Joshua Wins are better than any of Lewis's wins outside of maybe vitali, I do think Lewis would still win that fight outside of the controversial stoppage but obviously still casts an asterix over the win. The dubois wins are probably on par with the other top wins in Lewis's resume. Holyfield was past his best and would not class him as ATG level at that point, more like top contender level. So overall, Usyk edges when considering the 7 best HW wins. If considering overall body of work, Uysks work at cruiser gives him a clear edge in ATG ranking in my opinion.

    He's an upgraded Chisora, he gives Usyk a hard bout and completely washes the rest

    This resume stinks for a HOF
