    Since my thread about Usyk vs Ali was taken down. I would love to talk about the best cruiser or classic heavy in your opinion. The modern era with Super HW's has ruined some of the fantastic boxing skills we saw yesterday for example.

    My vote goes to Usyk.

    I also like Povetkin. Gassiev. Breidis. Holmes. Tyson. Haye.

    Deontay would fit perfectly in this classic HW division. I just feel that Usyk would beat him. Parker also. Hughie Fury.
