    The Usyk achievements at both cruiserweight and heavyweight make him an ATG.

    Undisputed at both weights is simply sensational with Fury twice and Dubois his best wins at heavyweight. The Witherspoon, Chisora and Joshua fights were good progression fights at the weight before he dispatched the top 2.

    Excellent observation as she knows boxing or the contentions of human selling.

    Read beale's post. Of course Fury is his best win how can anybody dispute that ffs

    You know your stuff

    Because it is a name win for Josh and puts him up in the series.

    Perhaps you misunderstand me, which is my fault entirely. Everyone dismissing AJ so readily is, by association, dismissing Usyk. For me, I agree with Beale, Fury and Dubois are his best wins. But many on this board and elsewhere are similarly dismissive of those fighters. In reality, beating a well past prime Fury and an AJ not many rate, and both men running him so close is not the stuff of an ATG. The Dubois fight has an asterisk on it for me, not others, I admit that. I have always said that if Usyk beat Fury he's the best of his generation, and I stand by that. Bit being the best of his generation does not make him an ATG at the weight...for me. An ATG for his achievement as an amateur, at cruiser and heavy, across his career, yes, without a doubt. Bit not an ATG at heavy. If his best win is beating Fury, which it is, how can that elevate him to mythical status? Only my thoughts and opinions man, hope these clarify things for you and alleviate your annoyance as it was not my intention to provoke you into rude, dismissive posts. Have a wonderful day, peace and love , x

    Hopefully nowhere soon. Would love to see him turn into a Chisora, getting his head punched in on the regular and undeserved chance after chance. Would never tire of seeing him get battered after the massively over the top hype he subjected us to for years.

    What happened to the rematch clause? I’d like to see that.

    Usyk is a great of course he is. But he did lose to Dubois as it wasn't a low blow

    Irrelevant. I want Joshua to win.

    This is someone he can beat that can be made into a decent fight with proper promotion. When history goes to judge Joshua, it will be a good name on a piece of paper that he won 2 of 3. No on will really remember the context.

    Joshua has worked hard and earned a couple of gimme fights.

    For me., he beat Parker in New Zealand and should have been a world champion earler. Ruiz was nae mug, I had him to beat AJ twice but he didn't turn up for the second fight. Think he's done now though...

    I hear the Joshua v Dubois rematch documentation is in Hearn's In-Tray slipped underneath the Terry Harper v Alycia Baumgardner rematch documentation.

    No mug agree and had him beating Joshua again also until the weigh in and realised he was a fat slob. can't remembr who i had winning out of him and Parker but let's be honest Parker is crap and he's getting battered by Dubois. Jack Massey is more his level or Cojanu for a tough fight going the distance
