    except he isn't that powerful and doesn't have an iron jaw. couldn't put away glass jawed cleverly in 24 rounds.

    having trouble with bellew pretty much undoes his wins over breidis and gassiev.

    him and Lomachenko are almost certain to be ATG's and I'm sure at least one of them gets in the top 10 Greatest ever list.

    This. Usyk accomplished a good win tonight, but he still has a ways to go before anyone can call him one of the greatest ever.

    Watching the Usyk presser & the humility shown by Usyk...it kinda reminded me of Broner, Hamed etc...

    I just said he would be an ATG if he conquered the HW division, did you read my comment. Right now he is a CW great.

    I'm not sure he's broke into the top 30 yet, yet alone the top 3? Put down the pipe mate.

    Dear god no.

    I think he is off to a great start and #1 right now, but he has a long way to go before we start talking about history.

    By the way, you seem to be assuming that he will be Joshua. I am not saying he can't, but that is a VERY big assumption.

    Give the man three years and let's see where he is at.

    He's good no doubt but let's not get carried away. The best of the best had sometimes hundreds of fights.

    Usyk is already interchangeable with De La Hoya for #1 GOAT. OP is an Usyk hater.

    He doesn't "start slow". He starts with watching his opponent to see his plan and his weaknesses. Then Usyk counteracts his opponents plan with his own plan, then exploits those weaknesses. Then he wins.

    I've heard of men transitioning into women. But I've never heard of one transitioning into Ray Robinson before.
