    He doesn’t have enough time to be considered the greatest of all time. But technical ability wise he is definitely up there with the very best in history. He’s mid 30’s already and will probably only have a couple years left at the top with the way he boxes

    Usyk will end his career not even being considered a top 10 HW of all time.

    I don't say that as someone with sour apples, him, Fury and Hunter are my 3 fave HWs (contemporary). But he's not gonna be considered in the running, he simply won't. The current stock of this division, they aren't looked highly, I surmise 20 years from now this period will be considered a low period, and the cream of the crop in a low period is still just the cream of the crop of that period.

    Love the guy, and can get to Uber-elite, but not enough time left to get past Armstong, Robinson and Ali.

    Since Fury may not be available, he is going to struggle to put points on the board.

    Talent wise, he is one of the best I have ever seen, if not the best. But its about who you beat.

    By the way, I hope I am wrong.

    If Usyk fights and beats Fury, he's the best of this generation.

    If he beats Jishua again and then Fury he is in the conversation.

    The problem being though that Fury don't want it.

    Usyk will beat Joshua again, and maybe get a shot against Wilder or the winner of Parker-Joyce for the WBCbelt. Since Wilder and Parker are busted and Joyce has no real pedigree, where does that get him when he beats one of all of them?

    Usyk clearly has the ability to be the best ever. Sadly, I don't know if he has the competition.

    The world ain't fair.

    That is a very lofty prediction. That takes years and years and fighting everyone. He is good and impressive, but that title will be hard to reach.

    He's in top 2 cruiserweights of all time, but best p4p? Nah.

    I'd say if he beats AJ again and then beats Fury he could be considered top 10-15 HW's ever.

    A skillful technician....yes

    The best boxer of all time....not even close!!

    In 20-30 years from now do u think when some good heavyweight champions are holding belts that folk will say these champs of 2040-50 wouldnt have beat the best ever from 2022 and that he was called Uysk?

    We unfortunately will never know. Would Fury beat Usyk? Likely.

    However, there’s a reason why Fury didn’t even entertain the idea of fighting Usyk. He wants no part of him - I don’t blame him, there’s a good chance the faster, slicker and craftier Usyk could beat him.

    Offered the AJ fight, Fury is all for it. Mark my words, Fury will come out of retirement to fight AJ once Usyk had beaten AJ and is signed to his next fight.
