    i get it, youve made your argument. again, why stop there? if an out of shape, never won a title, gasses in 4 rds heavy is better than everyone before him cause he fights 20 years later, why are you limiting yourself now? just make usyk the goat and be done with it. then in 20 years, we can make any bum better than any of the guys fighting now.

    I've been known ever since I've seen people in this forum claim Tyson Fury is the greatest boxer of all time. I go on reddit boxing from time to time and it's far better, which is incredibly ironic. It's that bad.

    This forum is a toxic place and i thrive off the chaos. I can't get enough. There's no end to the stupidity in this forum and it's amusing.

    Why stop short of proclaiming Usyk the GOAT? Because Chisora is a fringe contender/high level journeyman today who has been beaten legitimately 7-8 times and more convincingly at least twice before. If Usyk beats elite super-heavyweight AJ while several years past his prime and away from home, he has a good argument for "P4P" No. 1. If he beats AJ twice and later becomes undisputed he's the GOAT.

    Are we judging him by one division like Hagler? Then he is 100% Top 3 Cruiserweight of all time and off course an ATG

    ok, man. i dont see how anyone would benefit from debating these notions when thats the logic were adhering to. it serves no purpose outside of embarrassing myself for even involving myself in it.

    Why are you guys rushing ? It's only two months left.

    I like to see some reactions on this forum if Usyk beats him by KO.

    If that happens he deserves every accolade.

    Maybe, but still not everyone would be convinced that he is proven at HW.

    He would be easily be proven at HW if he beat Joshua, but he would not be an ATG HW. Because Ruiz already did it

    Of course not, he has to beat AJ second time in london, than Fury in vegas and than someone like Whyte or Wilder.

    If he becomes a champion at heavyweight, he could be considered ATG in general.

    But I think he deserves to be considered an ATG at CW//

    I think it's more than mere speculation when you also include his victories in rematches against both Bowe and Moorer.

    I believe each 5 of those wins trumps beating Chisora, but surely you don't rate Usyk's win against Chisora higher than you'd rate Evander's win against Bowe? Do you?

    Absolutely not. The ATG tag gets passed around far too easily. Top figher? Yes. ATG. NO!

    This guy cleaned out a murderous row of talent in their backyard.

    He is a definition of a atg. Period

    If he beats joshua and Fury then he will clearly be an atg at heavy
