    But AJ wasn`t and he was world champ the first time Usyk beat him.

    The fights with Holyfield, Rahman and Golota were controversial and could’ve easily (and I’d argue should’ve) all been losses. Usyk’s dominant performances over Joshua is better than anything Ruiz did.

    Except wins aren't the totality of a resume.

    Gassiev punches harder than Jones and Ruiz did.

    A good, terse and concise answer.

    Those are literally the only three guys Usyk has fought at heavyweight; pointless thread.

    Beyond it. Mentioning an old Holyfield is wild.

    Usyk's a much greater fighter, that's ALL that matters. Ruiz' "big" wins are pitiful.

    If, let's just say, Usyk beats Fury, then who else is left for him to beat, and subsequently, where do we rank his resume? He would have had but a few fights at HW, but fought and beaten the best.
