    Usyk gets WAY too much praise for beating Average AJ and Finished Fury

    Let's be real here, people are putting this guy up there with the ATG's for beating a bunch of bummingtons at cruiserweight and two VERY average heavyweights.

    Joshua was FINISHED as a world class heavyweight by Ruiz Jr, after that he done NOTHING until getting 8-4 x2 by Usyk before getting absoloutley battered by Dubois.

    As far as Fury, he was physically finished by the third wilder fight and was so badly diminished he LITERALLY needed a robbery to sc**** a decision vs a UFC fighter.

    There's not a single historically significant win on Usyks resume, he's a good skilled fighter but nowhere near proven enough to be considered an ATG based on wins over middling opposition.

    Worst HW era in the history of the sport
    Still, he is the goods.
    He'd be a high ranked HW in most eras.

          No the two don't correlate.

          He's winning on points 116-112 vs opponents in the worst era ever, not good enough to be a top fighter in good eras.

            Yes, that's why he needs ajit kabayel, parker. A bit more depth. If he beats them if put him up there

              I think he would rise to the occasion
              KOs are secksy but not necessary to win.

                I strongly disagree. His hwt and cruiser resumes are ATG HOF worthy.

                  Haters like OP predicted Usyk to lose to Fury and AJ. Give the man some credit now.

                    Usyk gets too much praise for beating the top fighters and taking their 0's.
