and perhaps Huck, but I i think probably not, HUck only has his stunning longevity and willingness to take on all over 2Slyk now, as does Nelson. Slyk holds all the belts which is surely a greater height than either reached - depends now on how long he can propagate this run. If Slyk can go up and emulate Hayes beating of Valuev, HUcks loss to Pov, and Nelsons WBU (lol) belt, then hes thes the 2nd best CW ever all things considered. BUt i tihnk he can do more than those clowns
Those wins of Holyfield will forever be tainted after he admitted himself that he took roids. Usyk doesn't need injections and tablets to beat his opponents, that's why he will be looked at as the superior fighter.
u cant just say that yet. wait for 2Slyk to end his career or do more before trying to claim an elite is better than a ATG, else you make 2Slyk look stupid. Toothless would be embarrassed reading your post, and probably give you an earful for disrepect.
It was boxing in the 70s,80s,90s, roids were a part of 90% of boxers food pyramid during this time, thats why everyone refers to these as the glory years of boxing, if you discount Holyfield, you have to discount 3 decades of boxing
I think Usyk would easily outbox/fox Joshua the one dimensional roid boy, he would IMO struggle against a fit Fury, as said would make easy work of Parker, Millar & Whyte. Hughie Fury would make him work the hardest as he has good movement but the outcome IMO is H.Fury realsing by the 7th round he's levels below this guy...Bellew ..well Lol.
I don't think he's being overhyped at all. He's a legit elite CW with the frame to move up to HW. That understandably has a lot of people excited. For my money he'll need a period of acclimatising before taking on the best at heavy, but there's no reason he shouldn't eventually be an opponent to the like of Joshua and Fury, neither of whom have the skills of Usyk (not even Fury). Personally I think he can move up and beat Wilder right now, and probably Parker as well. I think people would be shocked at how easily he beats Wilder, if that fight ever happens (which it won't of course).
Hmmm I left Wilder out only because of his un-orthodox style & its possible by Fluke he catches Usyk with a wild windmill...that's the only way...Usyk seems to have a good chin but Wilders Windmills are devastating to anyone.
You can always find some people who would get overly excited, but Usyk certainly deserves the credit and hype for this historical achievement.
I actually agree that he could beat Wilder right now. But he would struggle against most of the other top 10 atm. Bellew is an easy victory.
Parker fan as well, but I can't deny that Usyk would be the heavy favourite. Parker's just a bit too basic.
Cheers mate, we finally agree that ATGs (such as Usyk) can beat whatever the HW division has to offer (not named AJ, Wilder, prime Fury which I never said he'd have an easy time with). I mean IF that's your point. Cause if you just compared old man Pulev and off-Peds grandpa Povetkin to prime Vitali, Breazale & Kowanacki to prime Wlad, 56 yo Ortiz to prime Bowe or Miller to George Foreman, I guess that's where our conversation ends.
Fyi: wlider is the biggest banger of them all and @,6'7" it means zero he's been only fighting at 220. His agility, speed, massive power and timing is what's the killer Fights light a ww, seriously.. Usyk aight ever lasting 12 with his, especially wlider. Better Chance lasting with AJ and that's never ever too happen. Sorry, post was really just supposed to inform you there's no such thing as SHW in the pro fight game
