How would you rank Usyk among the greats if he goes to heavyweight and becomes champion

Joshua would toy with Usyk. I wanna see Joshua vs Fury or Joshua vs Wilder, I’m fed up with these bull**** match ups.

 

I would love Usyk to make big noise at Heavy. The thought of a smaller dude beating a bigger dude is tons of cool.

The only downside I can see is having to put up with CSTs years of “I told you so” thereafter.

If Usyk hit harder I would be more convinced but maybe the reason he doesn’t hit so hard has to do with how good he is. I know from experience loading up and missing won’t get you far in elite boxing.

 

Hmm he dominated cw but he won't have the same doninance at hw, but if he picks some top wins at hw he's going to be in the at discussion. No CW has dominated HW, holyfield had some atg wins there though.

 

Depends upon how many title defenses he makes. If it's 10+, we'll talk.

 

This. Even if he destroys Bellew, which isn't guaranteed and beats the winner of Wilder-Fury, and beats Joshua for the undisputed title he'd still need to successfully defend his undisputed heavyweight title at least 5-10 times to be an ATG, since becoming Undisputed Cruiserweight champ to me wasn't a big deal.

Cruiserweight is even weaker than 140. I never for a second thought Gassiev, Briedis, or Glowacki were going to be any competition for Usyk and they weren't.

 

I'd like to see that. Usyk is a talent. Be nice to see an in shape, slikster box circles around them big boys. Very interesting matchups at heavy.

 

I really like Usyk but he'd still be ranked below Holyfield at HW because the talent just isn't there today. Maybe you can reduce Holyfield's achievements based on the Evan Fields incident but that's about it.

 

HW nowadays is awful but if Usyk beats everybody and dominates for a while, I think he could be in the discussion following his accomplishments at cruiser. Longevity has a quality of its own. He's already being compared with Holyfield at cruiser which is high praise indeed.
