    Usyk has to be the greatest fighter now of the last couple generations he dominated two divisions against the best fighters at their peak and he did it all on the road. Floyd was great but at some point became a cherry picker and avoided guys in their prime and never fought outside of Vegas. Manny was also great but took some losses along the way.

    Usyk really is a one in a million and should be recognised as the best from the last two decades.

    I agree

    Olympic Gold, World Gold, European Gold, WSB undefeated. Turned pro, cleaned up at Cruiserweight beating all killers in their backyards , super series trophy winner. Double wins over Joshua and Fury, undisputed heavyweight champion whilst his country is at war. LEGEND.

    The older I get the more I hate to pick. They are all uber-eltite, with Ali, Louis, Duran, Robinson, Greb, Armstrong, Langford, Leonard, etc,

    No fat on Usyk's resume. Pac has fought more great opposition, but has taken a handful of losses along the way.

    I agree, Usyk is beyond them.

    An argument could be made that Floyd has as good or greater a skillset.

    One by one they were all forced to kneel to king Usyk.

    Not even slightly close to that level. I’m a proponent of Usyk but I can’t stress enough how big the gap is

    They have way deeper resume's. Usyk turned oro to late but he is a clear atg.
