How many pound for pound fighters has Bicol beat vs Usyk beat. Usyk gets special treatment no one else does because of the myth of the mega heavy. No man fury’s size has ever been clear #1 at HW besides fury very briefly yet fans treat it like a GOAT tier win because of his size.
I wouldn't say miles. Beating the top dogs at HW with a massive size disadvantage does put Usyk at pfp 1, but fact is he hasn't beaten anyone as good as Beterbiev or Canelo, who are both also PFP fighters.
I would say Usyks win over AJ is better than Canelo. Of course Canelo is superior but Canelo was fighting out of his weight class and Usyk was fighting the bigger man. The win over Beterbiev is arguably better than any Usyk win. Fury would be arguable, but let’s be real, he lost to Ngannou a boxing novice, even if you make the case that he didn’t take it seriously, I think there’s no doubt Fury would was not close to his peak. In terms of overall quality and moving up in weight, Usyks resume is definitely superior.
No he isn't. Bivol has beaten 2 top 10 P4P fighters and his top 2 wins are better than Usyk's best wins. Beterbiev----> Fury Canelo---> Joshua Usyk has a better resume overall because hes been undisputed in 2 weightclasses and the fighters he's beaten with size differences does give him the edge. But if Bivol has 1 or 2 more quality wins say win the trilogy vs Beterbiev and beats Benavidez then it would be alot closer.
Usyk wouldn't struggle with a man who basically only has power on him and a shot knee nearly 40 years old in Berb. Although I do think Berb beat him in amatuers 2 rounds to 1. Usyk is better than Bivol and has changed his fighting style to compete better at heavyweight majority of his ring circling has gone has fought men 50 pounds naturally heavier Canelo is the most overrated fighter next to Crawford. All the boxing heads had Bivol to box his ugly little ginger nut off and he did with ease in 2nd gear. Usyk & Fury are generational special fighters. Bivol is a fantastic, top tier but not jesus level which is where Usyk stands.
Yes Usyk is better. Bivol barely beat a past it Beterbiev. And i am a Bivol fan. Usyk dominated a better cruiserweight division than Bivol's light-heavyweight division. Usyk is also a better body puncher and has more p4p power.
