    I think zhang is stuck in a 1 way rematch clause with Joyce

    He's already an ATG

    Not only that but he's so much more than mere boxing

    Sure his accomplishments are incredible

    Olympic gold
    World Amateur gold
    European gold

    WSB winner slaying giants up at SHW

    WBC CW champion
    IBF CW champion
    WBA CW champion
    WBO CW champion

    Undisputed CW champion in just 15 fights

    Unified IBF, WBA & WBO HW champion in just 19 fights

    Won all his world titles in his opponent's backyards

    Also won all his medals at major championships on the road

    In complete contrast to so many others, including god knows how many of your current favs, all time favs, including legends of the sport, he's achieved everything he has with zero deck-stacking. Zero cheating and use of dirty tactics. Zero ducking punchers, certain styles or refusing to sign on the dotted line unless he has every advantage in his favour.

    Think about it. In your mind. By using your brains. They won't do the things he does at the drop of a hat religiously because they know it greatly increases their chance of losing or they do things he's never done once because they know it greatly increases their chance of winning. That's not greatness :facepalm:

    And despite having fought more punchers and KO artists than any other current champ I can think of in his last 10 fights, and having been in the giant slaying business for a while now, he's not only never been dropped he's never been really hurt. But we have numerous other extremely highly regarded fighters in the P4P 10 who've been hurt numerous times or hurt and dropped even though they've barely fought any punchers at all, let alone ones their own size.

    Very special breed of warrior indeed.

    Joshua was washed up after the first Ruiz fight. He's beaten no one at heavyweight in my opinion

    It is all subjective but beating Fury and Wilder would certainly put Usyk's name up there with the very best.

    At the very least he has to beat Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury. If he beats them, a lot depends on how.
