How GREAT is Oleksandr Usyk.

He is very

[The Big Dunn]

Just looking back at his career thus far and he’s a genuine ATG.

First off he fights all over the world as an amateur winning everything, European gold, World gold, Olympic gold etc

Then he turns pro, 20 fights, 20 wins, Undisputed Cruiserweight champion, Unified Heavyweight champion.

Then out of 20 fights, 12 of them have been on the road, 9 of which have been in the home country of his opponent. Out of those 9, 7 were world title fights and 4 were against defending world champions.

He’s fought in some real tough places to win too man, Russia, Poland, Latvia which was an absolute bear pit. Then with so much turbulence back in his home country, he blocks all that out, goes back on the road to Saudi and outclasses Joshua once again.

The majority of posts since the fight have been about AJ so I just wanted to give Usyk his props, a truly special fighter.

Some of us have long acknowledged Usyk’s skill, talent and accomplishments. Glad to see more people doing so.

He unified a poor CW division and has only defeated one good yet flawed HW, albeit twice.

Usyk needs to beat Fury before he goes down as a great imo.

He's an excellent fighter and already HOF worthy.

He's that good that against fury I don't know who's favourite? And fury h2h against anyone is supposed to be high.
If he beats fury wow?

Unified a poor CW division? I’d like to know where you buy your crack?

but yes, he does need to defeat Fury to completely cement his legacy.

Perhaps not poor, but certainly nothing special, the only good fighter that Usyk beat at CW was Briedis and that was arguably a draw.

Gassiev, Glowacki, Bellew etc. all average.
