    Floyd obviously has greater depth, though I feel Usyk hit a greater peak in defeating Fury. Remember that Tyson - who held just about every advantage - was the slight favourite in fight 1. The way Usyk regained control after the sixth round was special.

    I much prefer Usyk as a fighter and a man, but I rank Floyd better pound for pound.

    Usyk is great. A truly special fighter who fights with no A side nonsense like Floyd often did in his later career, but Floyd, like Pac, were just a level above Usyk.

    Floyd used his A side privileges to his favour, which I am not a fan of. It is something that really annoys me in modern day boxing, and does detract somewhat from a boxer's victories when employed, but it does not fully negate them.

    I think some people here have short memories. What Floyd and Pac achieved in their careers was truly special. The types of things you rarely see in this or any sport. Usyk has done similar, but, for me, just not quite at their level. He just doesn't have the number of wins against the level of opposition that Floyd and Pac have.

    All three are ATG's. Usyk is just a level below Floyd and Pac, though.

    They've built different and unbelievable legacies as ATGs, but I feel that Usyk has had to work harder for it and be the B fighter in literally every fight and still win fair and square.

    I'd comfortably say Usyk if he beats Parker, and a couple more strong and deserving challengers.

    That Tyson Fury was an absolute monster

    He nearly lost to an MMA fighter in his pro debut the fight before

    As one who's been called a Floyd hater and is a big fan of Usyk, it's Floyd easy. Just has WAAAY more depth. And you guys crying over Usyk beating bigger guys, that's been done to death for a century....

    I don't get where all this Fury H2H monster comes from.

    Fury lost to McDermott the 1st time let's be real it was such a bad decision they changed the rules on how British title fights were scored.

    Fury was floored and struggled immensely vs Cunningham a former Cruiserweight with 1 stoppage in 12 Heavyweight fights and who had only a 40 percent stoppage ratio.

    Almost KO'ed in 2 fights with Wilder.

    Struggled immensely vs the unremarkable Wallin very lucky not to be stopped on cuts.

    Fury objectively vs top 10 rated Heavyweights has only had 2 wins where he's looked good.

    Fury has been decked almost 10 times in his career despite having a very thin resume.

    So again I ask why is Fury considered a H2H monster ?

    Granted he has some talent for a big man and the size Usyk did have to overcome should be credited.

    But let's not make out Fury was some dominant Heavyweight plowing through the field like an 1980s Mike Tyson.

    Yeah focus on his worst night not his best nights or overall eh. That's how it goes! Fury was an inconsistent fighter who didn't turn up some nights, but he's been a fantastic fighter so to say any different is just nonsensical,desperate trolling.

    Fury's performance in Usyk 1 proved that it was just an off night versus Ngannou

    Fury only ever lost to the arguably the GOAT in close fights. Never knocked out - which is a rare stat for a a heavyweight.

    Watch Fury vs Wilder 2;) Amazing performance.
