    As of right now it would be Usyk's 6th best win at Heavyweight.

    1. Fury 1
    2. Joshua 1
    3. Fury 2
    4. Joshua 2
    5. Dubois 2
    6. Wardley
    7. Dubois 1
    8. Chisora
    9. C.Witherspoon

    But the win could get better with hindsight depending on what Wardley does in future fights.

    Clearly above all Usyk's heavyweight wins except perhaps Dubois 2.

    The Fury wins are not worth spit because Fury was coming off the Ngannou disaster and hadn't had a really good win in over 4 years.
    AJ had been absolutely battered and stopped by Ruiz just 3 fights earlier.
    Chisora is a plodding old gatekeeper.
    Chazz Witherspoon is not even that.
    Dubois in fight 1 was unproven and a victim of Joe Joyce.

    Only Dubois coming into 2 was in really good form with the wins against Hrgovic and Joshua, and at his peak.
    Wardley is unbeaten and at his peak.

    I think Wardley would rank fairly high. If Usyk defeated Wardley and stuck around long enough to face (and defeat) Kabayel, I think a Kabayel victory especially could rank among the top in his resume, and secure his place among the ATGs; he will have taken on the bulk of the most credible opponents of his reign.

    I'm a Brit but I'm not a fan of any of our British Heavyweights TBH except maybe Itauma for his style so I don't mind Usyk bashing up the British Heavyweights.

    Although to be fair Wardley is quite a likeable fellow but I'd rather Usyk retire soon so Wardley can carve out his own legacy because he's well out of his depth vs Usyk.

    But Usyk to me is more like a guy I'd have a banter with than someone like Joshua, Fury, or Dubois.
