    Nobody is unbeatable but Usyk is the Unified HW Champion of the world and an ATG to boot. So, the premise of the thread is senseless.

    I've never seen an unbeatable fighter or believed that one has ever or could ever exist. The human body is not designed to be hit with the kind of force these big punchers and murderous punching KO artists can generate and if you keep facing punchers and KO artists, which none of these clown's favs and hypes are, you're playing Russian roulette eventually you're going to end up with your brains blown out

    Who's past their primes? Joshua, DuBois? If anyone is past their prime it is Usyk who is 36, yet he still beats them all.

    Weird thing to say considering he just got KO'd with a body shot.

    Fury and Wilder.

    AJ was damaged/broken when he fought Usyk and Dubois is not a top boxer.

    Now the real question, can boxer be ATG without beating TOP boxers in their PRIME ? YES or NO ?

    Why are you guys trying to make Usyk work by lowering your standards ?

    Never did feel he was unbeatable. Wrongly picked AJ to beat him I think.

    If Usyk and Fury ever fight I'll be laying a grand on Fury to win.

    That being said hes a 36 year old heavyweight that relies quite a bit on activity and athleticism to implemet his skillset. His athleticism is obviously deterioting and the extra weight he has was never going to suit his style.

    At this point nothing that happens effects how good he was in his prime, imo.

    But no of course he's not currently unbeatable.

    But that being said, who outside of a Fury twice his size can beat him... imo nobody. So unbeatable? No.
    Damn close to it? Maybe.

    So you want Usyk to drop out of the super six and leap up to heavyweight to fight Wilder and Fury before they've beat the **** out of eachother? Usyk is pretty old for a fighter himself and has a murderers row resume at cruiserweight, surely you can't hold it against him?

    Fury is also slowing down, he doesn't move as fluidly as he used to and is easier to hit.

    I never believed he was unbeatable, particularly at HW. In fact, I was quite skeptical of his ability to compete in this division. He's done better than I thought he would

    True but when two fighters are on the slide I'll take the one that's got the 40lb weight advantage and 4" height advantage.

    Also against Usyk Fury would almost certainly be on the front foot in mauler mode (like in Wilder 2) that style doesn't require the athleticism Usyks style requires or Furys mid range boxing style does.

    So I don't think Fury would need his athleticism as much as Usyk would in this matchup.

    I wasn't impressed with his fight and performance with Joshua at all. Keep in mind Joshua was already stopped by man boobs, Ruiz. the fact that Anthony couldn't drop Usyk and Dubios could means AJ is overrated himself. Ummm, and ah... Those two fights were over blown by boxing fans.
