Even prime Roy Jones Jr was a miscalculation away from being taken out, the solid but unspectacular Del Valle who managed to knock him down could have cleaned him out on another day for example. Nobody is unbeatable, even though he's an outstanding specimen at CW top two all time, he's operating out of his range so to speak up at HW but producing, just not at the same standards for obvious reasons. And that's to be commmended. With the the enigma the gypsy king and the nuclear right hand windmiller around up there accompanying him in the top 3 since he dethroned the unified champ twice, it's gonna be interesting to see if he can overcome these two polarising challenges.
The question is absurd. There was never such a thing as an unbeatable fighter, ever. Not Usyk, not Ali, not prime Tyson, not Marciano or Mayweather, nobody. There is at least one guy (and he doesn't even have to be a top one just awkward enough for you) or one style that beats you, no matter who or how good you are. Boxing is rock-paper-scissors, especially in the HW division where literally one punch can change everything.
Let’s be honest if Usyk was to beat both Fury and Wilder he’s the absolute best of this era and he would certainly be in ATG status at Heavyweight without any argument from anybody .
I would put him as a lower rung ATG heavyweight if he just beat Wilder, beating the unified champ in AJ x 2 and a top 3 lethal puncher like the bronze bomber coming up from cruiser is an amazing achievement. Beating Fury too would put him way up there as much as people like to #### on this era they do that with every new era.
I always thought he is overrated a tad. His best win is over juiceshua who lost to man boobs, Ruiz. Man boobs beat Juiceshua better.I always felt that Crawford was the real one.
We’re all fickle boxing fans,if an era has a fighter at the top we don’t like we start comparing them to different eras and vice Versa,hence why there’s so many Fantasy Match up threads on here all the time .
So you are saying that someone can be ATG, without fighting TOP fighters in their PRIME ? Fury and Wilder are past their prime for years now.
Fury and Wilder are the two best opponents left for him at Heavyweight as he’s already beaten Joshua the other stand out of this era .
Yes, he's unbeatable. Who in the current division beats him? Joshua already lost, Wilder would obviously lose, Fury won't ever fight him. Hrgovic has zero ambition and would lose a lopsided decision. Zhang would face the same fate. Joyce would give him his sternest test but ultimately lose on the cards. Ruiz lol. Whyte lol. Who's left?
You have very low stardard of ATG Guy moves up, beats 3 past prime boxers and he is ATG at that weight ?
Unfortunately Usyk can only beats what’s available to him and Fury and Wilder are the other two top guys in the division as well as the fact that a win over Fury would make him Undisputed. Lennox Lewis biggest wins were over past prime boxers and he is a cemented ATG . However Usyk is not beating Fury and I’d also favour Wilder to beat him also .
