Which heavyweight could Usyk beat to really cement his legacy?

[j.razor]

He already has one at CW and some HW wins with arguably a future champion Hrgovic who would make Wilder look real bad with his unorthodox and very good am background hes fought everyone of every style barring Usyk. A championship belt would cement a historical achievement in two weight classes for Usyk .

I bet you he won't beat D.Wilder.

I think with the low barrier to entry with the HOF if he merely wins a belt off of anyone he's probably in there. If he were to beat & win a belt off of Joshua, Andy, Wilder or Tyson I think he's deserves to be in there off of that W. I think he's gonna have to win a belt not just beat a specific guy doe.

Cement his legacy? What legacy? He needs NAMES on his resume not just one win

What legacy? He beat everyone at CW and unified all the belts by winning the WBSS.

What do you mean what legacy?

Heavyweight is a new chapter for him, but so far his legacy is pretty good as it stands.

Need to actually see him as a Heavyweight first, will need to test his punch resistance vs a Heavyweight Puncher also. Sure he can probably out-box all of them however he is going to get HIT it is no avoiding that for a full 12 Rounds no matter how slick you are

Good point.

Easy to say when they will never fight. And bet what ? You Wilder fans don't owe up to anything .

His legacy at CW is quite good, a few decent wins at HW will add to that - but if you mean cement his legacy at HW then he has to beat the best....DUH!

There's no welfare/ affirmative action in boxing (at least there shouldn't be), so if Usyk wants to be considered the best he has to beat the best. Beating 100 bums ain't the same as beating 1 real champion.

Talking about his legacy in general.

Solidify his reputation at HW? Parker. Solidify his legacy? Wilder......

[YoungManRumble]

He needs to outbox at least one out of the top three, if not two for extra greatness. For legacy that is.

For reputation, someone decent in the top 40 I guess. Feed him a mid tier brawler test his chin/power at HW and also see how that torn bicep recovered.

The thread title and content are kind of asking 2 separate questions, hence why people giving two types of replies.

Cuz usyk will duck him of course. We can bet the next post after that fight (if it happens) will say "you are right, I don't know shet bout boxing & you do, sorry."
