    He beat Joshua who was already broke. I think Fury or Wilder would beat him if they showed up in shape and there was fair judging.
    Usyk would not beat Lewis, Holyfield, Tyson, Ali, Holmes, Frazier, Foreman, Marciano, V Klitchko etc.

    Based on what? Marciano was a light heavyweight by today's standards and he seems like a terrible matchup for Foreman

    I think you misunderstand my viewpoint. I accept that Usyk is an excellent fighter and not overrated if you are going on todays heavyweights.But as i stated previously some folk on here are rating him over some of the ATG`s. In the general conversation regarding the best heavyweights of all time he is 100% overrated

    If and when Fury fights and beats him we'll just hear that he was a blown up Cruiser that only defeated a gun shy AJ at heavyweight.

    Just like the way the Wilder and Wlad win gets discredited for all sorts of reasons despite Fury being the betting underdog.

    Blinkered hindsight is a wonderful thing !

    I know there are many nostalgics here who miss those ancient fighters, Usyk is not overrated and is one of the best ever...

    There's people saying that he's already one of the h2h greatest HWs (not CW but HW) of all time, yeah that's overrating him just an eentsy bit (way more than eentsy)

    And I think he's either #1 or #2 currently, no question........but be forreal

    Lol when he fought all those fighter’s he was prime undefeated Ruiz stole his soul made him quit and had him running for his life in the rematch against a overweight not 100 percent Ruiz, Point is AJ was never the same since Ruiz made him QUIT that’s his only good win and people here treat him like a god in HW, Let’s first see him fight Wilder Fury and a 100 percent focus Ruiz then we can talk
