He hasn't always been. A few years ago, the suggestion that Uysk was a special fighters was met with mockery on the classic forum. Things change though when you have a world champion that has fought and beaten the two best fighter's in his division not once but twice each and on their home turf.

Ali and Louis will always be considered the greatest heavyweights ever. They simply transcended boxing and have earned that high praise. Usyk is in an era that is far less appealing and boxing simply is not as popular as it was in other era's. All he can do is figjt the best of his era and that is exactly what he has done. He simply has a skillset that we have never seen at heavyweight.

I think next to Louis for real HW’s it’s Usyk, Holmes and Tyson at the top for pure boxing skills - that’s probably the right order too…

Very true.
Just a few short years ago it was all about Fury.
He's hardly talked about now.

I thought AJ would emerge as the best of his era if you'd asked me in 2017
