    Usyk = 2nd best cruiserweight?

    We all know that Holyfield remains the eternal king of the cruiserweight divsion, but has Usyk earned his spot as the number 2 cruiserweight of all time? How would he fare against Marciano, who basically could as well have been a light heavyweight as a cruiserweight? Today Marciano certainly wouldn't be a heavyweight.

          Keep in mind that if you move up in weight and beat bigger opponents, it adds to your resume on the previous weight you were at.

          In UFC, for example, we now understand what a great lightheavyweight Daniel Cormier is. It shows how extremely good he is at lightheavyweight when he can go up in heavyweight and knock out the champ in 1 round (likewise, the fact that Jon Jones spanked Cormier twice proves that Jon Jones is the most dangerous martial artist on the planet).

            Why is that? Just because you said so? Makes no sense to me. If you want to assess fighter's resume in a certain weightclass, only relevant fights are in this weightclass. Basic logic.
