    Crawford and Golovkin combined are maybe nearly as skilled as Usyk.

    Appropriate to revive this discourse now as, with the signing of the Povetkin fight, Usyk's campaign @ cruiser is officially in the rearview mirror. :deal:

    I'd like to see Usyk in with a prime Cincinnati cobra Ezzard Charles at about 185 lbs.

    hes one of them, up there with Holy, Wlod, Huck, Jones (not that Jones) and perhaps Lebedev is comparable but i dunno.

    The real test for CW is moving up from the sub-division. Huck failed, which is why few call him atg but Holy flew.

    No way Usyk beats Holyfield. Hayes also all wrong for him, Usyks wide open for a counter right Haye would have put him to sleep.

    Usyk is not close to LLs skill level.

    There's really no compelling argument for anyone else unless one takes what Holy did at Heavyweight into the equation. Thatd be unfair considering it has no relevance to the Real Deal's cruiserweight legacy.

    Usyk had a higher overall level of competition in a deeper cruiserweight division and did more in fewer fights than Evander did there. I can't simplify the case any further than that.

    i will admit to not knowing much about the division, but what makes that division so stacked? looks to me like usyk beat all challengers in his division. what makes the challengers so great other than having fought each other like the top guys of a division used to do? somebody school me on what im missing.

    Wrong. Somebody's rating at CW ought to have sweet fuck all to do with anything done or not done at heavyweight. That's ludicrous.

    Pernell Whitaker got knocked out by Carlos Bojórquez in his lone bout scheduled at light middleweight, so I guess to hell with rating him among the welterweight ATG's, huh?! :shakehead: Ridiculous nonsense.
