    What do you mean what legacy?

    Heavyweight is a new chapter for him, but so far his legacy is pretty good as it stands.
    And who exactly was at CW??

      I'd laugh my arse off when Usyk gets knocked out by a journeyman.

      Even Holyfield was juiced to the grill to make an impact in the heavyweight division.

      This isn't the 90s when PED was allowed freely and there's no way you can evade getting hit cleanly for 12 rds. Once he gets hit once, it will keep him honest.

      The only way I see him making any mark in the heavyweight division is if he can get Wilder's protection plan.

        He'd have to beat one of the champs or a few younger top contenders such as Miller, Kownacki, Rivas, Whyte .

          And then Ruiz vs. Wilder for Undisputed.

          Usyk gonna have to stay active in the meantime.
          If this happens (which is a possibility) i see the winner giving up a belt there would be 2 mandatorys waiting for the winner that fight on other nerworks. Pule ibf on espn and usyk wbo on dazn. Lets not forget they would probably be lookinh at a 2 fight deal for the unification

          Boxing politics make it too difficult these days to hold all 4 belts for a decent length of time

            any titleholder would be fine, that would make him a titlist in two divisions. But I think he will end up doing more.

            I doubt he will ever displace Holyfield as best CW, thats a bridge too far at his age.

              Wilder won't have a belt in 2021 he'll be irrelevant in the title contention race and maybe won't this year fighting Fury again. Wilder won't fight guys like Usyk who can box unless he sees a poor showing that's how he rolls.

                  Finkel wont even let Wilder in the same building as the man, Fury will defeat Wilder and AJ is going to defeat Usyk so without anything to gain wilder will stay far clear of anyone outside the WBC. Ha
