    From Cruiserweight King to Heavyweight Legend: Oleksandr Usyk Secures His Place Among the All-Time Greats

    Cruiserweight king, heavyweight king. With an undefeated record of 23-0, Oleksandr Usyk is a two-time undisputed champion, an amateur world champion, and an Olympic gold medalist. What more can we say? In my opinion, he’s undeniably an all-time great.​

    I’d root for him against a whole lot of ATGs in fantasy fights

      He’s arguably the best fighter this century. He’s certainly faced the toughest challenges IMO. Consistently fighting on the road, conceding huge size and weight advantages, no “marination” bullsh** either just constantly targets the best opponents out there. A true ATG.

        Unbelievable fighter & human being.
        As much as I'd love to see him retire a part of me wants to see how much he can further enhance his greatness.
        Could he perhaps have another 2-3 performances left?

          The HW div is rancid and deplorable

                I rate him very highly, especially for his mentality. You can't argue against him being an ATG.

                But historically I find it very hard to figure out how I rate him, and it's not his own fault but the heavyweight division right now is so weak, AJ and Fury I don't rate as historically significant fighters, neither Bredis or Gassiev at cruiser, historically these guys are all just "good" fighters.

                ​​​​​​Again, it's not fair to blame Usyk for the state of the division, but I can't go overboard with super high all time great ratings, there are many, many fighters historically that would have provided far sterner tests at heavyweight than AJ or Fury

                  I hurt your moms butt. Also yeah because I am black so I must like Wilder right? Wilder is a bum. My point stands. Only racist white boys who know nothing about boxing think Usyk is a ATG.

                    You want to see a racist? Easy. Just look in the mirror.
