    Usyk without a doubt, Usyk beat the best in the Cruiserweight division and Joshua twice...

    I am not even sure how this is a thread. Usyk has beaten six titists (Glowacki, Huck, Briedis, Gassiev, Bellew, JoshuaX2) in seven fights, and rounds out his top ten fights with quality guys like Hunter, Mchunu, and Chisora.

    Fury has had three top end wins in Wlad and WilderX2, and you can maybe give him Whyte. After that, ChisoraX2, Wallin, and Cunningham are quality guys, and his top ten are rounded out Hammer and Kingpin Johnson, who are journeymen at this point.

    Usyk= solid ten wins with seven victories over fellow titlists
    Fury= eight good wins with three victories over fellow titlists

    Usyk by a very comfortable margin.

    At heavyweight Fury (massive credit for dethroning Wlad even at the end of his career) however if you include Usyk's cruiser weight campaign then no contest. Usyk!!

    As others have said above,
    At Heavyweight Fury
    (Chisora '14, Klitschko '15, Wilder '20, Wilder '21, Whyte '22)
    Overall it's got to be Usyk
    (Joshua '21, Joshua '22)
    (Glowacki '16, Huck '17, Briedis '18, Gassiev '18)

    If you consider Bellew a titlist on Usyk's resume, why not Cunningham on Fury's?

    If Fury didn't have the win over Wlad then usyk also has the better HW resume

    No, you are right, and I did not mean to shortchange Cunningham on his accomplishments. It still leave Usyk considerably ahead, and really, Fury should be beating cruisers, so it is not really like it is a great win on HIS resume. A good one yes.
