    ... or would people basically say - "meh, Usyk past his prime, blown up cruiserweight, just goes to show how **** this division is, it's 1-1, time for a trilogy or it's not real win lol.".

    You know that if Joshua beats Usyk, there'll be people still nit picking at his resume.

    No corrupt decisions or anything, if AJ KO's Usyk, his best wins would be -

    Usyk KO
    Wlad KO
    Pov KO
    Ruiz UD
    Whyte KO
    Parker UD
    Pulev KO
    Takam TKO

    When was the last time a heavyweight had a resume that stacked? Probably not since Lewis.

    Most of the wins any ATG has were donkeys or average fighters though, with a handful of signature wins.

    Ooof, not sure about that. Would be a great win, but for me Usyk is one of the two main men in the division right now, AJ would also need to take care of the other main man...

    If he beats Usyk AND Fury... Different story altogether, he'd definitely be knocking on the door at the very least and I'd be hard-pressed to not have him on my ATG HW list.

    For me a win against a 42 Yr old klit isnt anything for an atg to shout about and as yet that's his best win.

    LOL at counting those names to strengthen your argument. You are seriously taking the ****.

    Two 50-50 matchups on that list.

    You forgot to include his two losses, one of which to an absolute pudding.

    What a fanboy.

    Depends
    If AJ is losing the fight badly and finds a lucky shot then definitely no.

    if AJ is winning every round and finishes him then he would possibly be in contention

    What you don’t do when you’re trying to make a case for your favourite fighter being an ATG: Name someone who got KOd by Chisora in his very next fight for your favourite fighter’s “stacked” resume.

    Usyk is the only all-time great Heavyweight for certain. Fury maybe.
