Comments Thread For: Generational great Oleksandr Usyk drops and stops Daniel Dubois again

Thatmanox while I'm not going to disagree with your assessment of the HW landscape decades ago with respect to depth, especially the American scene, I'm still confident that Usyk will be regarded by many fans as an elite athlete of the sport. I also don't feel that all boxers you cited would have had an easy time with the Ukrainian. He's the type of figher whose mental strength and ring smarts would have carried him to a respectable performance in a war akin to Ali-Farazier III.

I’ll make it easy for “generational.” A prime klitscho ko’s Usyk. I’ll make it even more easy for the heavyweight landscape of this era, how poor it is. Does fury, Joshua, wilder, Zhang Parker, who are arguably the best alongside Usyk the top dogs top those along the lines of Ali, Frazier, Norton, Holmes or heck even shavers or a prime Holyfield? Foreman beats them all as well. The fact that all these casuals keep saying too that “no one’s came close to beating Usyk” is even more comical too. Two close decisions with fury, and that’s not even talking about the fights they haven’t seen or remember. Usyk was losing to chazz Witherspoon before Witherspoon quit. And Usyk debatably beat del boy.

down on round vs Dubois, losing to Witherspoon, debatably beat del boy LMAO worst bait ever

Hats off to Usyk! Make them all sit down and clap... Best of this decade by far!

I would love to see him beat Parker and Kabayel too to further enhance his legacy and to be able to say he fully cleaned out the division. We know he already did, but in 20yrs, then no one can say anything about anyone else fighting around the same time as Usyk and it should help propel him up the ranks!

Also, having a few defenses of the "Undisputed" title should help his cause in the long-term.

I’ve never claimed that he wasn’t an elite athlete of the sport. I agree, he’s exceptional, especially in today’s age where nearly the majority of heavyweights gas at 5 rounds. The problem I have is that you have people on this site and X whom are claiming that he’s the best of all time, yet have hardly watched any true fights in their lifetime.

All you had to say was “I’ve never watched a majority of these fights, but saw highlights.” We understand brother, we understand.
