    I've been praying for a big house lately and god has ignored me so far. So, what I'm gonna do this December is pray to Usyk and hopefully he blesses me with all my wishes.

    There would be no precedent for a heavyweight champion having his own era and regaining a title and not be.

    So you could see AJ being competitive with Ali, Foreman, Tyson, Liston?

    He would beat Liston, whose reputation comes from beating fighters that started under today's cruiser or light-heavyweight limit.

    Wasn't Henry Cooper competitive with Ali? Ken Norton?

    Wasn't Buster Douglas competitive with Tyson?

    Wasn't Jimmy Young competitive with Foreman?

    Let's not deify these fighters. They were great, and we all love them. But they were mortal.

    Usyk already achieved greatness at Cruiserweight defeating a very talented list of boxers in their backyards without ducking anyone. That is totally against the grain these days, which makes him and Loma streers ahead of the pretenders propped up by politics. He has come to HW and dethroned one of the two legitimate champions, and if he can dominate Fury, then there is nothing more he can really achieve in his career.

    GOAT is the highest standard and there are certainly arguments for several fighters.

    I cannot say for certain, but he has done everything possible and ducked noone.

    Hex be the greatest of his era, anything else is just pointless speculation. He'd be up there with the best of all time though.
