Which heavyweight could Usyk beat to really cement his legacy?

[Vlad_]

Usyk’s coming from CW, so maybe the likes of Wilder, Fury or Joshua might be too much.

But which HW can he beat to really solidify his reputation, that would be considered a really good win for him?

He already has an olympic medal, undefeated at CW, beat the best, won the WBSS and cleared that division. So what could add to that at HW?

[SN!PER]

Nothing less than a world title would cement his legacy.

But a solid win over Joe Joyce or the winner of Kuzmin vs. Hunter would bring a lot of recognition in the heavyweight division.

Nothing notable. He will never beat Fury, so the best he can accomplish will be Fury's sloppy seconds, which history will remember, as his sloppy seconds.

Yeah, those legendary battles against warriors such as Schwarz and Wallin are really doing wonders for Fury’s legacy.

[Marchegiano]

All of the above.

I think he could beat them all, maybe not Fury. Id just like to be sure a bigger Uysk hasnt lost too much speed and that he can make enough of a dent with his punches to stop these big Heavies just walking through him. If he can then he can beat any of them, Fury would be a nightmare for him though.

Evgeny Romanov, another good one.

Ukraine vs. Russia are must-see fights.

Yeah...I'm thinking not. He's beaten Joyce and Hunter before and I don't see either as being vastly improved.

He would need to beat a top dog, Fury, Wilder, or the winner of Joshua/Ruiz 2.

A win over Pulev, Ortiz or Povetkin would be dismissed as a win over a faded has been. A win over Dubois, Hrgovic or Efe dismissed a win over an overrated prospect.

We boxing fans are hard to please.

Damn. Tough crowd.

IDK then... but he's not getting a title shot anytime soon!

I guess he has to beat Big Baby Miller to get some respect.
