Where do you rank Oleksandr Usyk as an ATG great heavyweight?

Oh yeah, I'd definitely back Usyk to win, but I don't think he'd coast to it, the same Usyk that lost rounds to Chisora and had great 12-rounders with Gasiev and Breidis? If Fury could stun him with an uppercut, then Foreman had the power to hurt him. I rate Usyk, but I don't think he's indestructible like a lot of people seem to. He knocked out an extremely limited fighter who he already knocked out a few years ago, it's done nothing for his legacy I think. Not sure why people are getting hysterical over it.

 

Surely only on a H2H basis.

You can’t rank a HW top 3 of all time, after only having fought just 5 HW’s.

That’s ludicrous.

 

He’s only fought 5 guys.

 

We have no idea if Usyk could have beaten Bowe or Mike.

 

Surely this is a joke??

 

He’s only fought 5 guys at the weight.

 

How does that make sense?

So: He’s lower top 10, after having had only 5 opponents, but then he’d jump significantly higher, upon beating Joseph Parker??

Let’s calm down a bit.

 

His cruiserweight career can count to heavyweight ranking because in history a lot of heavyweights were that size.
But I just don't see his best wins (Fury, Briedis, Gassiev, Dubois, Joshua) as great heavyweight. Fury's the best of that lot and he struggled with Ngannou in preparation for Usyk.

 

Usyk could barely beat Mairis Breidis in his prime.

 

A top 5 guy EASILY?

Based upon just 5 opponents??

 

Another bizarre post.

Top 3?

On ability/H2H?

Your personal top 3 favourite?

How can he be a top 3 HW, after only having fought just 5 opponents??

 

The man has only fought 5 HW’s in his life.

 

Top 5 after having fought only 5 guys??

 

I’m not spamming your thread, genius.

And I’m asking legitimate questions.

And if you had any knowledge of me and my posts, you would know that I am a HUGE fan of Usyk.

He is actually my current favourite fighter.

I have often labelled him as being a genius.

I love him as a fighter, and I think that he’s an incredible role model for the sport.

He’s a gentleman.

Now what he’s done in such a short space of time, is remarkable. And especially as he’s took whatever the purse is and travelled out of his comfort zone to the opponents back yard.

Frankly, I love the guy.

However, he cannot be ranked as the GOAT at HW, or in the top 5, after literally only having fought just 5 opponents.

Now that should be obvious to ANYBODY.

Now if we’re talking on ability, okay.

Or if he’s someone’s favourite fighter, or top 3 favourite, then fine.

But if not, then it makes a mockery of the division’s history.

Now I am not spamming your thread, I have simply put the same question to different posters.

Regarding Joe Calzaghe, I have never said that he was no good. And I have always referred to him as being a great fighter. I have only said that he’s overrated by many, as he has a poor overall resume for someone so talented.
