Most impressive 6 fight streak at HW? (H2H factored) Is it Usyk? (Read OP)

Might be the closest thing to a compliment I’ve ever seen you give Foreman.

 

Beating 6 is usually better than 3. Fury is retired, got beat up by Ngannou. joshuas didn't fight any ranked guys apart from Dubois. Joshua looked like crap against Robert Helanius, who's to say he would have beaten Zhang, Parker, Kabayel, Sanchez, Bakole, Ajagba, Hrgovic. Hrgovic literally did better than aj against Dubois. Even Miller and Lerena did better. This whole discussion is supposedly h2h but h2h joshua is overrated even in his own era.

In my eyes Fury is the only elite guy since people want to talk about h2h

 

I agree Joshua is past his prime now but he was the ****ing champion when Usyk beat him and the no. 1 contender afterwards. His performances after the fact, and his standing now, do not change that. He was absolutely the best in the world along with Fury, and Wilder at the time.

 

There’s something he has in common with Gatti though.

 

After Usyk, are they?

I don't think that's true - even on paper.

 

I don't think he was, he was beating a bunch of old fighters which flattered his abilities and the referee screwed Parker over. Notice how his only 2 KO losses came to prime fighters. After the fact i just view him as a top guy who held the belts, but there were plenty who could have beaten him if given the chance

 

Comparable.

 

No

 

No that's not the point the point is Tyson's victories were far more impressive emphatic and that's certainly a good argument in favour of Tyson's win streak being objectively better.

 

mostly on popularity and not on skill level/accomplishments

 

Regardless of your oddly personal dislike for Joshua, he was the unified champion at the time. Why on earth would Usyk fight anyone else? Even if your opinion were true (which is doubtful) that “plenty could’ve beaten him if given the chance,” it still wouldn’t matter—because they didn’t. Beating the guy you think could’ve beaten the champ doesn’t mean anything. "Well, I may not be champion, but hey at least I beat someone who MarkusFlorez99 thinks would've beaten the champion" Make it make sense.
Usyk did the only thing that made sense: he fought and beat the champion. Simple as that.

 

Frazier has

Bonavena
Zyglewicz
Quarry
Ellis
Foster
Ali

 

But how good is beating those 3 ? It's 3 heavyweights and none of them are great. Tyson beat 6 different top guys in a row

I'm not the one who said h2h abilities are factored in. The OP did and joshua h2h is overrated and not as good as people think. He struggled with past it fighters who lost their reflexes and 39 year old Pulev is in his top 5 opponents

 

Dire until the last guy.
