Heck, after Chisora he'd got beaten a better heavy than Wilder had... Without the depth in cans, but still.
He just beat Joshua who held 3 of the 4 trinkets. He has surpassed Wilder with this win, no question about it.
Not an opinion it's a fact. Hell with Hunter's run at heavyweight and the Chisora win for Usyk there wasn't much separating their resumes even before last night, Wilder's resume is that bad.
Given that I'd take Breidis and Gassiev over pretty much anyone on Wilders resume except Fury (who he only drew with at best), and they would both probably beat Whyte, Parker and the rest of the current top 10, I think it was arguable that Usyk's resume was better than Wilders before beating AJ. Not at all unpopular!
What are you talking about ? How is that an unpopular opinion ? Usyk's three wins put Wilder's very unimpressive HW resume to shame.
Could Usyk knock Fury down twice and nearly have him knocked out in the 12th round? Some would think Usyk could outpoint Fury but I doubt he could do to Fury what Wilder did to Fury coming that close to stopping him. Wilder is a bigger puncher than Usyk, but Wilder's work rate is extremely low compard to Usyk. Usyk is much busier than wilder and a much more technical and awkward puncher. If anyone could KO Usyk it might be Wilder, but I can't see him winning a decision vs Usyk. Though it would be fun to watch if it happened.
After Joshua absolutely. People seem to be rating Chisora too highly in this thread. Chisora always does just enough to lose. He makes a good go at it, but he never wins even a moderately big fight.
