    SDs are not clear cut fights, they are very close.

    Here are the obvious facts

    Most of those old legends would be in Cruiserweight or even LHW today

    It is not just size that is the issue. It is the athleticism and mobility with it.

    We have never had a crop of Giants like this with such movement and skill for their size

    There is a reason we have weight divisions - and this is it

    Rubbish !

    It's not even maths...


    Probably not.

    An ATG...a legend, but not the best ever.

    Witherspoon was a bum, Chisora had several losses before losing to Usyk, AJ was never that good, Fury was pretty good but overrated, but I still consider Usyk as the greatest heavyweight of all-time because of Fury's massive height and reach advantage. I think Usyk is the best heavyweight of all-time but will always look human at heavyweight because of his size just like Tyson, I think Usyk would have easily beaten every fight 6'3 or smaller except maybe Foreman and Tyson and that Tyson would have destroyed any fighter 5'10 and under.

    First off Usyk didn't dominate any of his notable Heavyweight opponents barring Dubois.

    Joshua 2, Chisora, Fury 1, were all pretty much even on the scorecards after 10 rounds until Usyk pulled away in the last 2 rounds.

    In regards to beating multiple notable Super Heavyweights ? its probably the most notable wins over Heavyweights of that size who were considered good.

    But....being Super Heavyweight sized doesn't mean you're great. And Holyfield, Holmes, Ali, who were similar size to Usyk would run the gauntlet vs Fury, Joshua, Chisora, Dubois, also.

    He hasn't had enough heavyweight fights IMO.
