Is usyk the greatest European boxer of all time

what about Rudy Koopmans ? he,s up there

 

One cloggie on the list will suffice.

 

Good point. Forgot about Lennox, it would be a good fight but I'd back Lennox to be victorious. I always see him as Canadian even though he is British.

I was thinking more about Wlad and Vitali whom I think Usyk would beat.

 

Maybe 5th, he has no where near the resume to be any higher

 

Bob, Jimmy and Jimmy all have a good argument.

I have him clear of Ted and Jack though.

Also clear of Lennox.

It's a really tough call because if you get any certified ATG and start comparing resume Usyk is lacking :-(

 

5 opponents on his hw resume

 

For heavyweights, I prefer Lennox. Deeper resume and better top wins. A past it but still good Holyfield, young Vitali, David Tua are better than Joshua, past it Fury and Dubois.

 

Get ready to hear about some fighter from 1874 who would walk 10 miles to his weekly fight and had a record of 851-14 and has never been photographed but there are many diary entries from the time that describe him as perhaps the greatest ever.

 

I think prime Wlad and Vitali would have a better shot at beating Usyk than lewis. I don’t think lewis ever faced a southpaw and he even admitted to avoiding Corrie Sanders. Although Corrie is a much different type of fighter. But him being a southpaw did have a lot to do with it

 

He might be top 5 or 6 at HW if and only if you exclude the British and even thats hard to give him on the basis of his short career. Overall no way.

Usyk never held a EBU belt which virtually everyone else in this conversation has.
