    Usyk beat Joyce in the amateurs who was a heavyweight, Ali only had to beat light heavies at the olympics and none of his amateur opponents punch like Beterbiev.

    Even a an amateur? Ali was a lot skinnier than Usyk as an amateur.

    Exactly, although he's an ATG. Just another agenda thread.

    Where is your proof that he “Ain’t on Ali’s level”??? Through his first 20 fights what exactly has he shown to lack that Ali had???

    This is one aspect where modern fighters have it over champions from bygone era's. No matter how good fighters like Louis, Ali, Tyson etc looked during their career, there really was only a limited amount of countries entrenched in professional boxing.

    Ali, easily. The Usyk dick riding on this forum is becoming ridiculous. Can't wait until the gypsy King smashes him up. This forum will go into a complete meltdown.

    Well, Ali wasn't nearly as ready going pro. Usyk has a very impressive start. And he won't come near Ali's total pro fights amount or the quality Ali beat.

    He certainly had a better amateur career than Fury and has been better over his first 20 pro fights than Fury was.

    Actually I'd disagree. I rate Ali higher all time, but the question said who had the more impressive first 20 fights. And that is obviously Usyk.

    Ali turned pro much younger than Usyk did. He was still a developing fighter when he turned pro. Usyk turned pro in his prime and hit the ground running immediately.

    How the heck did you get banned so quickly? Lol but anyway to answer the question I think It’s a tricky comparison as Usyk took a lot longer to have those 20 fights than Ali did. However I think I would still go with Usyk as he became undisputed at cruiser and overcame a massive size difference to become unified at heavy.
