Usyk has a greater Cruiserweight career than Holyfield.

- -Nice try, but Field was in the experimental noob cruiser division what would be classed today as the Jr Cruiser division.Usyk's opponents during his cruiserweight run and what they did after. ( only counting during Usyk's championship.)
Glowacki - 26-0 WBO Cruiserweight Champ
Breidis - 23 - 0 - 1 WBC Cruiswerweight champ
Marco Huck - 40-4-1 Former WBC Cruiserweight champ
Tony Bellew - 30-2-1 Former WBC Cruiserweight Champ
Micheal Hunter - 12-0 No.1 WBA Contender
Murat Gassiev - 26-0 IBF and WBA Cruiserweight Champ
Evander Holyfield ( Only countring during Holyfield's championship)
Ossie Ocasio - 21-4, ended his career with 23-13 WBA Cruiserweight Champ
Carlos De Leon - 44-4 Holyfield's best win in cruiserweight ended at 53-8-1 WBC & Lineal Champ
Rickey Parkey-- 20-5 ended his career at 22-20 IBF Cruiswerweight champ
Dwight Muhammad Qawi - 26-2-1. WBA Cruiswerweight champ.
Usyk in Field days would have a better heavy record than Field whose heavy record is 28-10-2, or alternately 19-8-2, 8 KOs for the next 20 yrs after he being emasculated by Big George.
Yup, jus da facts, ma'am!Comment

Adamek has never been described as a great cruiser-weight 'Nobody speaks of him as one of the greatest cruiser-weights, David Haye & Evander Holyfield are fighters that get spoken about in this manner' Not Adamek EVER.

^ThisUsyk is a overrated fighter, he has already been displaying this of late 'He is not winning any world title's at heavyweight or beating any of the top guys'.
There is a weird obsession that people within the boxing community have with fighters from the former soviet countries, they are so easily anointed with the status of being Great technical fighters. Usyk is a simple well schooled solid fighter with no real great attributes, that is exactly why he is trying to steal a vacant title at Heavyweight 'He is no David Haye or Evander Holyfield'.
Bumlovkin, Kan Krusher Kovalev, Lomafako and now Usyk - all good solid fighters - but have never done anything that legitimately should be considered great. However, you'd think they were collectively the top 4 greatest fighters all time if you gave their legions of nut huggers any merit. I've never seen fighters get so much credit for having done so little.Comment

I would say so, yes, I wouldn't want to argue H2H and I'll be incredibly surprised if Oleksandr can replicate Evander's success at HW, but just rated on their respective Cruiser runs and how they both accomplished what they did I've no trouble with having Usyk as the greater.
Whichever way you cut it however they're #1 and #2 with no-one else even particularly close.Last edited by Citizen Koba; 04-05-2020, 12:45 PM.Comment

Better CRUISERWEIGHT Usyk or Holyfield?
Nothing they did after CW counts, purely taking about what they did at that weight. Not who had the better career.
I think it’s clearly Usyk as he consistently fought top opposition on the road in the away corner.
He beat 5 former or current champs in their country and also Michael Hunter in the USA who we’ve seen is a solid fighter. That’s legit greatness!Comment
