    It is weak, there’s one smaller skilled fighter that’s been able to dominate it.
    Usyk can dominate any other era as easily as this one ?
    Lewis , Tyson , Holyfield he probably loses all of them , even Klit bros he loses to both in prime.
    He has even less chance with Holmes, Ali, Frazier, Foreman.
    Sure he can pick up a win here or there, but this era is the weakest for many eras.

    Usyk’s not even prime and he’s still beating everybody

    Usyk dominates 60s,70s,80s. 90s would be tougher but I think he'd still be a top fighter perhaps after losing a fight or two but winning the series overall. Usyk is a special fighter seems like you're just looking for reason to discredit him instead of giving him his credit.

    He doesn’t dominate any of those eras. You’re saying he’s the best heavyweight ever then?

    What makes me laugh is everyone was so all in with these so called unbeatable super heavies, Wilder who can’t box, Joshua who’s stiff as a board and Fury the fat man. Nobody smaller would be able to beat them.
    And then someone did, and now he’s superman because they were the unbeatable super heavies after all.

    He’s a great fighter but he wouldn’t beat Louis or Ali or Liston or Foreman, I don’t he’d beat quite a few others
    He’s been able to dominate a weak era in his mid 30s because he’s the only who can box.

    To say that he’d dominate those era you must have really been on the super heavy wagon

    He beats all of those lol only Louis would be competitive. Imagine listing two guys who only had success because of their size as two fighters he couldn't beat

    Foreman knew how to actually use his size and strength, not like Joshua or Fury.
    Yeah Liston only had success because of his size…his jab was awful wasn’t it. Do you actually know anything about them ?

    Brother Ali didn’t transcend regular boxing, Ali had flaws for not sticking to conventional boxing… yeah he was a successful fighter DESPITE what he did WHEN and WHY is much more important then what but even still Norton was perfect expression of what Ali did wrong biting him in the @$$.
