Does Usyk's last performance affects his ranking on an ATG heavyweights list?

Yeah I know

As I said it doesn't harm his legacy at all

Ali crawled around a ring with Inoki for 12 rounds and he is still universally rated

 

You obviously must know the back story to the fight then?

 

So you don't know the back story

Uysk won mate

Get over it

Nobody will reference the difficulty he had with Rico in 20 years

 

No. Rico had a ton of high level boxing experience in the gym and was an ATG champion in a heavily boxing-based sport. Usyk was not fighting a journeyman. And in a one off fight where you are going in blind, the jeopardy is much greater.

Many greats would have lost to Rico at the end of their careers, not pull off an 11th round KD and stoppage, however controversial the stoppage was.

 

Updated my post

 

A little bit but I give leeway considering it's his first off night.

 

Rico had sparred with the Fury's for at least 15 years, among others like Kabayel and Whyte. He had a ton of boxing experience. Rico had more legit boxing experience than early career Vitali, and he was also a far better kickboxer.

At some point in his 30's, Mike Tyson loses to Rico. Ali from the Holmes fight gets beaten up, maybe sooner. Mid 30's Ali would have very little chance of stopping Rico, too old, too limited.

 

15 years of world class sparring is serious boxing experience. The debate is over.
