    He not the GOAT but he’s top 10 all time at HW now.

    I still have Ali, Louis, Foreman, Holmes and Lewis ahead of him at least. Probably Holyfield too. But he’s in the discussion after that. I’d probably rate him alongside Tyson.

    Again, showing you're nothing but a troll ( or very unknowledgeable about the cruiserweight division at the time)

    Literally the entire non-biased hardcore boxing world was (are) in full agreement that the Cruiserweight division at that time was the strongest it's ever been. Full of big punching, undefeated strong beasts in their primes, and Usyk cleaned out the whole division beating them all in their backyards.

    I think he probably loses to Ali, Lewis, Foreman, Wlad, Vitali.

    Those are the only ones I would risk money on.

    I think it would be too close to call with Tyson, Holmes, Liston, Holy (roided, of course) .

    He's probably at the bottom end of the top ten head to head.


    But I'll wait till he finishes before ranking him all-time.

    If he retires tomorrow, he still makes my top 15.

    Usyk is great boxer but I can't put him ahead of Lennox Lewis and Wladimir Klitschko.

    Had Usyk stopped Fury tonight I would potentially consider it

    Usyk is amazing but I saw someone saying that Usyk is the best boxer (not just heavyweight. As in P4P) of the 21st century.

    I can't go that far

    Top 10 all time at HW with 7 fights in the division against 5 opponents? Hilarious. His best wins are against AJ who was way overrated and against a lazy Fury who's best win was against a 40 year old Wlad.. He is not even in the conversation if you are keeping it real. Simply has not done enough.

    I think Usyk would school Wlad and Lennox.

    He already schooled Wlad in sparring and Lennox didn't like southpaws and didn't have the engine to go 12 rounds with Usyk and I don't think I'd fancy anyone to KO Usyk.

    He couldn't even school AJ in the rematch or a sloppy past prime Fury. He is just exposing how weak this era of HW's are.

    Usyk, WK, Vitali, Fury, Joshua, Povetkin, Haye, Byrd & Sanders. Are the best HWs of this time frame for me. Usyk is probably the best of the bunch.

    Do you have a Usyk app on your phone that notifies you whenever his name is mentioned? Every thread with "Usyk" in the title contains a disparaging comment by you about Usyk.

    Let it go, son.
