You can nit pick anything. Dont think going for the no 8 and 9 contenders is something to debate. At those numbers you can make cases for plenty of people.
People are rightfully mad about Ortiz, but I say Dillian Whyte has no business being on that list either.
This content is protected Let's send this one down to the lab for some rigorous scientific analysis I think this is all correct Amateur and pro victories over the others Usyk has beaten AJ and Joe Joyce Fury has beaten The Dosser and Whyte AJ has beaten Big Bang Zhang, Fat Andy, Whyte, Big Joe Big Bang Zhang has beaten Fat Andy, Big Joe and J-Park Whyte has beaten AJ and J-Park Fat Andy has beaten AJ and Ortiz Big Joe has beaten J-Park and Hrgovic J-Park has beaten Fat Andy Hrgovic has beaten Big Bang Zhang and J-Park The Dosser has beaten Ortiz Ortiz has beaten none of the others AFAIA So AJ finishes top with = 4 but Usyk is the only man in history to beat him twice which neither Fat Andy or Whyte could do and Usyk also beat Majidov and Nistor who are 2 of the 3 fighters to beat AJ in the amateurs and Usyk also turned Belly aka The Gypsy Chicken into the sport's biggest coward, both figuratively and literally. Number of world champions beaten as a pro Usyk = 6 in 20 fights (all prime) all away AJ = 5 in 28 fights (2 prime) all at home sans 1 on neutral soil Whyte = 3 in 32 fights (2 prime) 2 at home, 1 neutral Belly = 3 in 34 fights (1 possibly 2 prime) 3 away Big Joe = 2 in 16 fights (1 prime) both at home Fat Andy = 2 in 37 fights (1 prime) both at home J-Park = 2 in 36 fights (1 prime) both at home The Dosser = 2 in 46 fights (1 prime) both at home Ortiz = 1 in 36 fights (1 prime) away Hrgovic = 0 in 15 fights Big Bang Zhang = 0 in 26 fights Record in world title fights Usyk = 9-0 Belly = 5-0-1 The Dosser = 10-2-1 < fought trash - 2 world champs in 46 fights AJ = 9-3 J-Park = 3-1 Fat Andy = 1-1 Whyte = 0-1 Ortiz = 0-2 Usyk also wins with ease in terms of amateur golds, silvers and bronzes won too and he holds victories over 2 of the current CW champs and the current three-belt unified LHW champ Number of times knocked out or stopped in the pros Usyk = 0 Belly = 0 Big Bang = 0 Fat Andy = 0 Hrgovic = 0 AJ = 1 Big Joe = 1 J-Park = 1 The Dosser = 2 Ortiz = 2 Whyte = 3 Usyk and Big Joe are the only ones of them to never be dropped as a pro either albeit Hrgovic's KD against Big Bang Zhang was complete BS Usyk is the King. Put that in your pipe and smoke and toke on it
I expect Usyk to hold that too spot until he retires. AND he’s the PFP#1. As much as Fury has gotten on my nerves he definitely is at number two. The number three and four spots are debatable. But… Whyte anywhere on there!!
