Not a chance. It's a weak division & nobody fights often enough. Wasn't it rumoured Fury was fighting 4 times this year ? Really ?
It would put Usyk at boxing god tier, with an argument for maybe GOAT but for sure not a lock. Even with a win over Fury he would need to have a bit more longevity at the weight before you could definitively say that. he would be in the conversation though that is for sure. If Fury wins, no.
Wlad 2x without dropping a round, ok maybe 1 round, well done Wlad. Chisora 2x without barely dropping a round Wilder 3x dropping a few rounds AJ without even stepping in the ring Haye without even stepping in the ring Cunningham, only man to stop him Hammer Wallin McDermott (one of the best British level at that time, 2 years into Fury's career) Usyk is all that's left
Ignore the dinosaur boxing fans who couldn't make it out of their front doors safely without their rose-tinted googles on Usyk is already the GOAT And if no man born from their mother can beat you then you are, duh, ergo, de facto, ipso facto, ad infinitum.. veni, vidi, vici.. The GOAT This content is protected This content is protected
They are both unique fighters in terms of their attributes and accomplishments. I would favour the winner over any other boxer in history, so in that sense I would see the winner as the GOAT.
The only heavyweight of today who's a top 20 ATG is Fury, and he JUST broke the 20. If Wilder wins against one of the big names like Joshua, Usyk, Ruiz he won't be terribly far behind. To compare Usyk or Fury to Ali or Holmes is dumber than a loaf of toast.
