    2 ATGs in their prime going at it for all the marbles. Thoughts?

    What a joke.

    Usyk would become an ATG heavyweight, but not the GOAT.

    He beat a mentally shot Joshua, and would beat Fury who, despite him being great, is inconsistent and a fat ass.

    Seriously start looking at HW history first.
    There's a very strong case to be made for Usyk being the greatest at CW. But he hasn't had a single defence at HW yet.
    Fury just made his very first defence and that was against the guy he won his title from.
    He never defended any other belt, and was actually banned for the fight that got him the titleshot against past it Wlad.

    Meanwhile there are a whole number of fighters that defended the championship multiple times, up to 25, and they somehow don’t matter anymore? Also, for Usyk... He isn't near Holyfield yet at Heavy, even if he beats Fury and taking Holy's obvious juicing into account.

    Winner of Usyk vs Fury should fight Canelo. Who ever wins that fight becomes the greatest boxer of the decade.

    Holyfield got beaten many times in heavyweight. Thus he isn't that great.

    Sure
    So Holmes isn't, Ali isn't that great either, Tyson isn't, Patterson isn't, only someone like Marciano maybe?

    Mentally shot:lol:
    Is that a new excuse to not give a fighter credit. He beat a prime AJ that admitted to being 100% prepared.

    How do you claim that a frequently beaten fighter is better than a fighter who is closed to being 2-division-undisputed champion?

    I think he definitely deserves credit for being AJ. All I'm saying is beating AJ shouldn't be your ticket to calling yourself GOAT.

    AJ is a good fighter, well better than average and probably #3. But he's no where near good enough to be considered an ATG.

    HOF yes, ATG no.

    I agree, I just thought saying “mentally shot” was a weird way to underrate a win

    It would get them in the conversation, but Fury doesn't have the resume and Usyk doesn't have enough resume at Heavyweight.

    I think Usyk would be closer to GOAT than Fury if that were to happen, though, just based on his dominance at Cruiser and him cleaning out the HW upper tier.
