    Nope. They are two distinct and separate weight classes.

    Or is welter just a pool in which budding 154lbers paddle, by your dumb ass logic?

    Usyk is quality, but there have been some decent fighters at cruiser. Guys who would have beaten his WBSS opposition. These guys at their peak would have all been a handful for Usyk. Holyfield, Bell, Haye, Mormeck, Jirov, Toney, Guillermo Jones etc.

    Holyfield still the GOAT AT CW! Is really soon for Usyk! Lets see how he does at HW! On the other side Usyk was amazing tonight! Im a fan! For me he is better than the triple bum and the kova coward

    Still a little soon to say. Holy had the slight advantage of fighting during a better era of boxing. Talent pool was greater.

    No. We just don't know how much of what he accomplished was his alter ego "Evan Fields." He only counts as an asterix.

    I'd argue it wasn't. There were 2 or 3 upper crust guys around besides himself.

    Maybe. I might have to revisit some of the 80's fighters on youtube. Just feel like in virtually every division today, there a couple guys near the top, then a huge drop off in talent for the rest. Of course, I would admit Usyk would be able to hold his own versus any of them. Assuming weighing it at 190 didn't change his game much.

    Most of the people who voted yes are the typical pro EE fans on here. Same people who always vote GGG, Kovalev, Lomachenko, vs the ATGS of boxing. Lol

    Holyfield and Toney would be good fights. He easily beats to the rest. And I was a big Jirov fan.
