What criteria do you use for your HW ratings?

1) Form - e.g. last 5 results
2) Overall resume & achievements
3) Style & eye test / intangibles

NB, there is no difference here for HW vs any other division IMO

 

So.e ki d of vague feeling that unconsciously accounts for the objective factors others have mentioned.

 

Nope, not unless it was his first or second fight
Usyk is a fully fledged heavyweight. I doubt Floyd got any brownie points for beating guys at 147, despite starting at 130

I remember him being blasted for fighting a similar sized Hatton at 147, as hatton fought at 140. Now Floyd started at 130

If usyk stepped up from cruiser to beat Fury, then yes maybe, but he's been a heavyweight for years now and he's a solid sized heavyweight now, not small by any means

If an untrained boxer can give Fury fits and that makes him rubbish? Then why should Usyk be made legend for such a competitive fight?

Now these are not my thoughts above regarding the triangle theory of Fury/Ngannou/usyk

My thoughts are Fury is LEVELs above what he showed that night and majorly underperformed, not for the first time I might add. Usyk fought the version of the guy that imo no other heavyweight today could beat. Certainly not the guys fighting on Saturday past

Imo the Usyk win over fury adds massively to his resume. Not because he was a former cruiser, but because he beat the best in the division and rightfully proved as of now he is the man

I sorry for the essay, but I can't stand double standards. You can't downplay Fury as a fighter, then make usyk a legend for the win. It doesn't work that way. I don't care if he was a cruiserweight

But anyone who isn't biased will know Fury is a very good fighter and it was a fantastic win

 

Wilder was not the same fighter anymore when he did fight Zhang.

 

Wins, losses and draws. The more recent the better. What have they done lately and how they looked doing it, and who they did it against.

That's it. I don't think it's rocket science.

And I judge every division the same way
