    Usyk has never been run close enough to be in a Give and Take fight. Against better fighters (outside of Canelo). And I meant historically

    Wlad was fighting much better fighters.

    He was also a HW. He was more dominant at a better weight and actually defended a real belt. Not a fake WBA trinket

    He did defend proper WBA title after beating Geale and Wlad in poor heavyweight era. On Usyk he didn’t get avoided in his prime, wait till he’s 36 and GGG has the all time greats in his division for historical h2h. Very tough division and GGG still atleast 50/50 with any middleweight ever.

    Nope. Jones was a totally shot fighter years before he became a Russian citizen.

    So not as dominate as Wlad.
    Wlad's HW era > GGGs MW era

    And Wlad's HW era's underrated. It's better than Now, Marciano's and Tyson's.
    GGG didn't bring enough to the table to be a draw. He was undoubtedly dangerous but only as dangerous as Usyk was. Usyk just had what people wanted, Al title.
    Someone who was on par with Marvin Hagler and Carlos Monzon should've blown people like Jacobs and Canelo away.

    Monzon and Hagler both have legit losses in their career and GGG was past his prime for those fights but was still too good.

    Wlad did have a better era but still not any opponents p4p that GGG would struggle with.

    So does GGG...

    Whilst GGG I scored both fights for GGG it's not impossible to score the second fight for Canelo. It was a decision that can be debated but it was a legit loss. Just like it's a legit win.
    Valdes and Mugabi would both be top wins for GGG. Both of Monzon and Hagler were past prime when they fought them.
    Even if that made sense it wouldn't matter. Wlad beat them, GGG didn't.

    Best RUSSIAN boxer ever... that would be between Povetkin, Kovalev and Kosta.

    Go up to GGG and ask him this question he’d be like... “Come on guy *Shakes Head* this not serious question.”

    No way, GGG took bombs in a war v Canelo, Wlad was far too fragile to do that at heavywweight, Canelo is far better P4P than anyone Wlad beat.

    Mugabi was nowhere near GGG or Canelo`s levels, he was so easy to hit.

    Loma is from the Ukraine not Russia, there was recently nearly a war because Russia tried to invade the Ukraine.
