Comments Thread For: Wladimir Klitschko Hails Undisputed Heavyweight King Oleksandr Usyk As 'The Best Fighter In Modern History'

What a record against British fighters in particular! Fury, Joshua (2x), Dubois, Bellew, Chisora! Usyk, the English Assassin!

A case can certainly be made outside of Floyd and Pacquiao. Olympic Gold and two division Undisputed.

The best boxer is Loma Skill wise. He gave advantages moving up in weight to 135 were he doesn't belong.

[Monty Fisto]

The most mentally tough and focussed fighter of the modern era and an ATG. The combination of the amateur career with undisputed at cruiser and heavyweight is hard to top.

Fury has been overrated for years….fighter’s allowed him to lay his rotund body on them…his boxing skills were adequate but because he was 6’9” people thought he was something special….he’s not….and never was

That fact that he is so big and has (or had) the speed, footwork, and head movement was what made him special. Since he’s come back from his hiatus he’s done a better job of curating his career than maintaining his body. Usyk is simply more special as an athlete. I never doubted for a second this outcome.

Agreeing with Wlad, Usyk is on TOP!

modern history?

how far is he going back here?

People are really going overboard. Pump the brakes, have some perspective.

Usyk is definitely the man, he beat A.J twice just to prove he wasn't a fluke, and now he'll do it with Fury twice, after that, theres nothing to prove, he should just ride off into the sunset and call it a career, everyone else should just respect what the man has done and give him the respect he deserves!!!!

Wladimir Klitschko is right about Oleksandr Usyk! Loved that moment between them!
