Oleksandr Usyk is the greatest fighter since…

[Stuntman Mike]

I still think Naoya Inoue and Terence Crawford are right there in the mix with him.

If Crawford somehow beats Canelo (I don't think he will), that might be a wrap. That'd make him a 4 division lineal champ (only Floyd and Manny have done it) and a 5 division world titlist (only Hearns, Leonard, De La Hoya, Floyd, and Manny have done it).

And Inoue is in his prime right now. Already a comparable resume and he figures to have many more fights ahead of him than Usyk or Crawford.

The wins they have pale in comparison to Usyks ..however in terms of talent of course they are up there but they just dont have the scalps and crawford most certainly wont ever match usyks wins

Ranking fighters all time is all about opinions. Literally the point of thread…

Floyd has more HOF’ers. Usyk has more Undisputed Championships, something Floyd never achieved, an Olympic Gold medal, something Floyd never achieved. 10 wins on the road, Floyd has 0. Fought in 8 different countries, Floyd fought in 1. He has conceded size advantages Floyd wouldn’t have dreamed of.

You can’t just limit the conversation to just HOF’ers defeated that’s only one element of greatness. The things I’d add for Floyd are longevity, more fights, more world title fights and more lineal championships with 4 compared to 2.

Floyd has 10 #1 ranked fighters beaten, Usyk I think has 1, or 2.

Floyd has 7 P4P ranked fighters beaten, Usyk has I think 1.

Floyd has 4 Lineal titles, Usyk has two.

Usyk is a great fighter but I don’t think his resume compares to Floyd’s

I’m agreeing with you

I think he could hang, as in be amongst them. That’s my opinion based off styles and fantasy H2H match ups.

Do I think he could beat Lewis or Holyfield? No I don’t.

Tyson and Bowe? Probably not either, maybe.

It’s obviously not a stretch to say he has the ability to be amongst them though.

Im an old school guy i watch many fights daily and have more respect from retired than the current division but anyone would have fits with usyk

I thibk usyk could give anyone problems,he might not win against a prime lennox or ali but it would certainly be a fight and i could see usyk also winning those fights


Hes in the mix now for me to potentially beat any other the other greats just as i see a way for them to all potentially beat each other

Lol you aren't agreeing with me and you don't need too. I asked you a simple question and like I said you can't answer it. Who did Usyk beat to be considered good enough to hang with any top heavyweight from the 1970's up until Lennox Lewis retired? Usyk barely beat a shop worn Derek Chisora but he could hang with Mike Tyson and Bowe? Lol Usyk couldn't even beat guys like Bruce Seldon for crying out loud. Usyk isn't good. He is just lucky to be in such a bad era.

You could see Usyk beating Lennox Lewis because you are mentally ******ed. Lol Usyk barely beat Chisora and beat a drugged out Tyson Fury who never did anything in his career besides beat old man Wlad and now you clowns act like Usyk is this legendary boxer. There is no sport fan dumber than boxing fans.

Was your mom on crack while she was pregnant with you? Nobody cares about the cruiser weight division so nobody cares what Uysk did there. At heavyweight Usyk beat Chazz Witherspoon a bum, a faded Derek Chisora who was never anything special. A mentally damaged Joshua after Andy Ruiz beat him first. A damaged Daniel Dubois who had his eye socked broke by Joe Joyce and suffered a leg injury against Kevin Lerena, Then Usyk beat Fury a guy who pushing 40 and his best wins were against old man Wladimir Klitschko and Deontay Wilder.

I will say you are probably one of the dumbest posters here and that is saying something

I think he’d beat Holyfield convincingly you know. I don’t like that matchup at all for Holyfield.

I’d pick Lewis to beat him. Bowe I think would be a
very tough fight for him too.

Tyson I always find difficult to match H2H because he was so fragile mentally. He could literally implode. I could see him just blitzing Usyk but I could also see Usyk weathering the storm and getting him late, very unsure on that one.

All fantasy, of course.

[shawnkemp804]

Pac-Man. People are quick to denigrate those Joshua and Fury wins but man he beat them twice convincingly.

Lol because Joshua and Fury aren't anything special and they will never be special. So Usyk beating 2 hype jobs doesn't equate to Usyk being a good fighter

Usyk couldn’t beat Seldon?

Stop trolling.

Im pretty sure lewis was ko'd twice in his prime

If a fight of them two got made today with the usyk from the second joshua fight when he really fit into his heavyweight frame was made then if youre really an honest boxing fan you should be able to see a way for either man to win

Holyfield had a lot of success vs lennox and usyk is way smarter at getting in and out and has supreme straight body work

You arent giving usyk much credit he belongs on the heavyweight atg list
