You can argue that someone historically has a better chance than today's boxers, of course you're comparing him with every boxer ever... but truth is they have never even seen a southpaw fullstop, never mind one of Usyks quality.
He may not be the flashiest, or the most powerful, but the man is just so damn good and unpredictable.
He was before this confirms it. Who else has got a stacked resume like his in only 23 fights. As many world champ wins on the road, undisputed cruiserweight and heavyweight, and coming up to beat Fury and AJ not once but twice each to show the first time wasn't a one off

One with so much stamina as well. Very durable. I’m certainly not one of those boomers who think the black and whites or the 90s are always way better than today.. i’d pick usyk in a whole lot of fantasy fights.. esp now that he’s beaten my guy twice
Arguably goat. There, I just said it, but a few more wins would be good. Because there's guys who arguably best fury, be it zhang, Parker, bakole etc.
Usyks got the big names in resume, but a bit of depth never harmed anyone
Let me flat out state this. I don't care if I get banned. White pretend boxing fans are the most biased , delutional, and clueless fans you will ever talk too. This is why to this day you will always find some white boy putting 180 pound Rocky Marciano on the ATG heavyweight list.
Who did Usyk beat a heavyweight? A mentally damaged overrated hype job in Anthony Joshua after Andy Ruid did it first? So why isn't Ruiz a ATG? Because he isn't white? Then Usyk beat Daniel Dubois after Joe Joyce broke Dubois eye socket first. Why isn't Joyce a ATG heavyweight then? Because he isn't white? Then Usyk beat druggy fat Tyson Fury who did nothing with his career besides beat old 40 year old Wladimir Klitschko and no talent Deontay Wilder. So beating Fury makes Usyk a ATG heavweight?
This is why when white guys talk about boxing I can't take them serious. As a black guy growing up in a black city I thought black Mike Tyson fanboys were bad but they aren't even on the same level as these biased white boy fanboys.
Usyk isn't a ATG anything. He fights in a piss poor era that is so bad that Jake Paul fights draw bigger ratings than any legit boxing match. Usyk fights in a era where the talent pool in trash and that is why Uysk has belt. Usyk is pushing 40 years old, has only 20 something bouts. Rarely gets in the ring. Still throws slapping arm punches. Something that only amateurs used to do. Tyson Fury even fat out of his mind was still being pushed about the ring by a much smaller man which shows you how bad Fury is. Fury also can't throw a straight punch to save his life. So 2 overrated guy who are only known because they are white and white guys will cheer on any fighter who is white. Both Fury and Usyk are D level fighters are best and just leave it at that.
Longevity as a champion or even longevity at the weight is probably his only downfall when it comes to ranking him up with the very best.
Of course he might go another 5 years but I doubt it.
In terms of his peak achievements, he's right up there with anyone. Undefeated gets tossed around - with him it's truly exceptional given he faced everyone he could.
