@@nlcrr1617 only 3 title defences in heavyweight not enough he need to beat fury in there rematch plus Joseph Parker joshua for 3rd time than he be a top 10 heavyweight
@supremercommonder why would he have to fight Joshua again when he's already schooled him twice? The point of a trilogy is that the first 2 were close. Usyk won almost every round. You act as if he's been in the heavyweight division his whole career. He's had 6 fights in the division, 4 of which are championship fights and 3 are defenses. If he retires at 40 with 2 title defences each year then he'd be undisputed in two weight divisions, clearing them both out with 10 defences all whilst undefeated. This is what should happen now. Fury rematch -> mandatory defense for the rest unless someone new comes up. His mandatories are likely to include Parker and maybe Zhang and Wilder if they aren't too old by then. 2 more years of title defenses against contenders and he would've solidified himself as top 10 or top 5 heavyweights of all time, top 15 boxers of all time. He doesn't even need to go to 40 years old
ironic furys motto is "anytime, any place, anywhere" when usyk is the one that actually lives by that fights in enemy territory all the time, accepts the hardest fights available and doesn't care if he's getting severely underpaid, one of the last real guys left in boxing that will just fight
@@jesuspernia8031 "yeah look we can do this anytime anyplace anywhere, as long as you cut way more than you usually do, you cant rehydrate and aren't an actual contender"
my question is just what else could he have even possibly done during his career to elevate himself further. essentially nothing. He's beaten everyone he could have fought and hes already went up a weightclass and still dominated. what else could the man even do at this point, theres no more weight classes to go up to. If you believe fury is a top 10 heavyweight, then I can't see a world where usyk isnt, and isnt higher on the list. to me it really seems like people have overlooked a possible top 5 boxer (not heavyweight, boxer) of all time because the story doesnt feel anywhere near as appealing as other greats. undefeated two division undisputed champion with arguably the hardest division jump possible, hes that guy.
Usyk's done everything you can do, everything, and he's still got people saying he's a lame duck. It's crazy. Imagine going into a fight with a guy twice your size, two years younger, with a seven inch reach advantage, knocking his ass to the ground and people *still* telling you're not good enough? What's he supposed to do, beat Galactus in a fistfight? Break rocks with his bare hands? He's a living legend and we're lucky we're alive at the same time as him, lay off the guy.
He's done everything he can do in boxing. It seems odd to rank him so high with so few pro fights especially at heavyweight, but he beat the best guys, and to unify 2 divisions with so many belts today is crazy! Usyk is the man.
Usyk is easily my 1st place all time boxer, He has the skill, the charisma, the attitude and he lives in reality unlike a lot of boxers/mma fighters, we won't see another fighter like Usyk for a very very long time
@@DiaryofaNomadno. Ali was overrated because of his persona. Joe Louis is the greatest of all time. I’d put Usyk in the top 10 now though after he just became undisputed at heavyweight.
He’s doing what not a lot of fighters are doing today. Taking the HARD fights. He’s p4p top 2 at the very lowest top 3 right now and definitely will go down as one of the best heavyweights.
I am following him since the Muhammad Ali cup, I revisited his old fights and still watching him. He is something else, out of place. I am not even talking about his sheer will, his uncomprehensible mastery, his cat-like agility or his ability to soak punches. No his speed. I mean he is unbelievably fast. He is a heavyweight trained alongside lightweights. Tyson is a legendary fighter too and he is fast too. But he is fast for a heavyweigth. Usyk was called "he is too fast for cruiserweight" back in the day. Always, in all matches. Even Tony Bellew told this before the fight. I bet most heavyweights he fought(including his amateur carrier Joe Joyce for example) to this day did not understand what happened to them. Because it needs another level of speciality to entirely analyse his game. I watched and read those, everybody thinks he is a Grand Master. I am not tripping. Because he really is something else. Because he is not just fast. He is conciously fast. He is a master level boxer. He is in ful control of his speed. He is precise. He is an all time great. I've no doubt about that. And his style must be studied. And plus he showed us; in boxing skill beats all. Not size as long as two people are "around" the similar weightclasses ofcourse, not punching power. They all matter ofcourse. But if there is a skill gap between such two people; then on paper, better boxing mastery has the edge. Not the other way around. I told this for months to everyone, no one listened. They said "yeah he is good but AJ/Fury/XXX is too big, "at a certain level" size really really matters. That's why there are weight classes" blah blah :) Naaah, not really. Skill beats size is all. Usyk proved that very clearly.
He’s definitely up there. He fought the best available, usually in their own backyards. He always looked good doing it, too. Never got into putting his foot in his mouth like a lot of other boxers, either. In this era, winning isn’t enough much of the time. You have to win unquestionably, and even then, the judges may still try and screw you. One judge tried with the Fury fight.
Can't believe a judge gave that to fury. I was cheering usyk on so hard and made sure to try to keep my scorecard fair, and originally had it 115 112. I rewatced some of the "close" rounds and now it's 116 111 or even 117 110. The announcers REALLY were clearly overhyping fury and messing with viewers heads
He's almost the perfect fighter, speed, skills, reflexes, insane ring IQ, heart, great chin, the ability to find a way to win even when the odds are stacked against him, He also has an additional gear when he switches up late in a fight and just goes into god mode throwing 20 punches combinations, easily one of the best heavies we've ever had, beating elite world champs 40lbs his senior.
What makes Usyk’s undefeated and undisputed title so much more impressive is that he was beating up guys way bigger than himself. Realistically, how many heavyweights throughout history would’ve been able to beat Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua? Less than 10 I think
Stellar amateur career; Olympic gold; consolidation of belts at cruiserweight in opponents' back yards; consolidation the belts at heavyweight for the first time in 25 years (opponents' back yards), while being the smaller of his opponents; unreproachful and true boxing leader. He's in the top 10 for sure.
I remember watching the WBSS. The Briedis fight was sooo good! I was expecting the Gassiev fight to be a true 50-50 fight but Usyk completely outclassed him. It's a shame we never got to see Gassiev fight Briedis, but anyways Usyk is definitely an ATG. He is now the 3rd man to be Undisputed in two weight classes, in the 4 belt era. His resume is probably the closest, in impressiveness, to Canelo's
Either him or holyfield as the cruiserweight goat and solidly a top 5-10 hw. Esp in an era of intense ducking and record padding he’s fought aa many tough fights as he could while undersized and on the road
I don't even compare him and Holyfield since in the 1980s the Cruiserweight limit was 190lbs rather than the 200lbs Usyk competed at. They were basically different divisions so it makes it easy to rank Holyfield as the greatest 190lb fighter and Usyk as the greatest 200lb fighter imo.
Usik is not a home boy. He goes to his opponent's territory and there he is. He always wins when everyone is against him: experts, bookmakers, judges and the public. They tell him: no, this is impossible, but he does it! That's why he is Oleksand the Great!
Usyk is in the goat conversation for sure. All he can do now is take a few additional fights to show he can adapt to any challenger's style. E.g. Zhang, Wilder, Parker, Hrgovic, Kabayel, Ruiz etc. Tbh though, even if he retires now, I think he's done enough to secure his legacy.
Mike Tyson big respect on him but really he wasn't even that good compare to other top level fighter. He had this spectacular style with a lot speed and power that's why hes a people's champ
@@Psalm51-ql2cn You know that Mike is rated higher than holyfield? There is direct evidence Holyfield took steroids. So his two wins vs Tyson are no contest. Holyfield never beat Mike. Thats why Mike is in the top 5 for sure.
He is. He also isn't really caught with the whole industry tailored style of ducking: contract negotiations. He fights with less reward, his fights gets announced and they happen, no drama, no drug test dispute, no silly mind games...etc and HE WINS. Undisputed twice and well rounded.
Yea, maybe. I can also suggest like defending the title for a few years or something. But that's going down the rankings, not up. He beat the top ones already. And he is almost 40 now, so he wont keep belts for long.
@@Highonlife24yeah think so too. For me too 5 but Ali, Lewis and Foreman are greater than him. But if he defends his title a couple of times he still can climb up.
@@sabesabes12345 Exactly, it’s just that he’s only been a heavyweight for a short while. He’s already propelled himself to the stratosphere, he just needs to beat all the other competitors.
@@Highonlife24 agree. If he beats Tyson a second time, maybe Joshua a 3rd time and then hrgovic akd Kabayel, then he is definitely in the top 3 conversation. Up there it is just a question of preference. I will still consider Ali to be the greatest of all time, no matter what.
IMO, the Fury win is the kind of achievement that secures a fighter immediate ATG status regardless of anything that happens (or doesn't happen) for the rest of their career. Similar to Frazier's win over Ali, Spinks' over Holmes, or Basilio's over Robinson.
Absolutely, record speaks for itself and not in just the pro's he's a decorated amatuer, olympic gold medalist, cleaned out his own division at cruiser before moving up, he could have just stayed there and kept scoring easy wins instead within 3 fights into his HW debut he took on Joshua and his first three fights painted a whole different opinion about his capacity to hang with the best, but he got dialed in like i knew he would and bested Joshua twice, getting undisputed in a weight division with no ceiling is bonkers, not taking away from guys like Crawford look at the size disparage when he was in the ring with Fury, when you fighting the biggest baddest dudes, there's only one thing that can win you fights in this division, thats the ability to outbox your opponent ... and he's been doing just that.
One thing that doesn't help his legacy is that his cruserweight opponents' wins "aged badly" because all those guys, kind of, has been on decline since then. And it's not Usyk's fault, at the time when he fought them they were very strong guys, especially Briedis and Gassiev.
Usyk in top 10 without any doubts.He won everything what is possible to win.The only downside in his resume that he started late as professional, his opponents list quite short.
I dont think you can argue against him being an all time great, whether or not you have him towards the top or bottom of that list, he is still 100% on the list of all time greats
As a fury fan, yes usyk is top 20 all time greatest list possibly top 10. That lead right handed south paw style with the pendulum step up is barely understood outside of Ukraine and parts of Russia
Gd breakdown mate... the way this blokes gone through 2 divisions is insane! At 39 Briedis is still dangerous (congrats Jai!!), but to give away 40lbs to an unbeaten giraffe!! Shows how physically and mentally conditioned Usyk is... I don't wanna do the era vs era thing... but hes the best of this era...l rekn he beats Fury in a return, hes met him now.. always has plans and angles... Fury has to improve...can he(?).
There will never be a greaatest of all time, there will the magnificents of all time! They had their time and competition according to their fans. For sure Usyk is on thet list!!!
He beat Fury so hard people say Usyk was robbed even though he won. And it was Fury in his best shape and form ever, according to everything I've heard for the last 3 weeks. If Fury in his best shape and form had won this fight we'd be hearing how he's better than Ali, Mike Tyson, and everyone else.
Definitely top 10. His accomplishments, skill level and champion heart are overwhelmingly impressive. He does everything well and has no true weaknesses. Assuming he fights Fury next and beats him, he will have literally no potential opponent left on the horizon really worthy of fighting. When all is said and done he might be close to top 5 of all time.
Top 3 of all time - Lennox Lewis. The Lineal (2x), Undisputed & 3 time world champion (Won WBC, WBA, IBF, IBO, IBC belts), European, Commonwealth and British Heavyweight champion belts, 1988 Olympic Gold Medal, 1983 Junior world championship Gold medal, 1986 Commonwealth games Gold medal, 1987 North American Championships Gold medal, 1987 Pan-American Games Silver medal, 1985 World cup Silver medal, 5 x Canada Championships Gold medals. Awarded titles from the Queen, CBE (Commander of the British Empire), MBE and CM, Member of the Order of Canada.
He’s definitely an all time great but I’m worried he did it too quick and has time to ruin his career, like you said who is there left to motivate him to push harder?
He's on the brink of top 10 hw of all time, he needs a couple more wins though. Fury and aj are great wins. Tyson, ali, holyfield, foreman etc have done more than him though. He should fight the winner of dubois and hrgovich next. Unless dubois wins, then he could fight kabayel
I think he had the skill to be one of the GOATS, but the era he resides in just doesn’t give boxers the opportunity to. He just doesn’t have enough fights with the best of the bests, not that he doesn’t want to fight the best, but because it’s just to hard to make the fights.
What other best of the best does he need to fight? Wilder? Andy Ruiz? No one’s beating him besides Fury, who also took his FIRST L vs Usyk. Unless beterbiev or JAI move up to make a mega fight but I still got Usyk smoking them. No other HW beating him unless Usyk becomes old over night
@@moisesvirgen7711 I’m not saying he’s ass, I’m saying the era that he fights in will be frowned upon, thus putting into question how great he actually was. We know we was the shit, but will the future be able to see that is the question.
Of course he's an all time great. It's not even a serious question anymore. Dude just gained 30 pounds and then beat a guy who had 5 inches and 40 lbs on him. The real question is, where is usyk on the all time p4p list?
Wym there’s no other possible for fights for his legacy? I wanna see Usyk vs Wilder! If he beats Wilder I think it would be pretty safe to call Usyk the greatest boxer ever.
Okay I read coupa comments and here it is I believe: Usyk is no HW GOAT, he is no natural HW, he is 4-5 years in the division, Usyk is all times great if we talking about BOXING, regardless of weight category, He violated every top boxer, every champ in the most interesting and prestige 2 weight TOP categories, Usyk is undeniably greatest boxer of all time.
Is usyuk a all time great, Now ? Yes but to be greatest which is a feat unknown has done is clean your division while undisputed. Simply put " fuck up everybody in front of you'
Its really funny to me that usyk debutes against a boxer from the state i am from, Felipe el Indio Romero and that i personally know him and have talkes to him, i am only 1 person apart from knowing usyk😂
Hes undefeated and 2x undisputed while taking literally the hardest fights he could and always winning. Usyk is a generational talent

Usyk is truly an all time great. Look at where he came from and he had some tough fights.You would have to say he is up there as one of the greats
As a fury fan, yes usyk is top 20 all time greatest list possibly top 10. That lead right handed south paw style with the pendulum step up is barely understood outside of Ukraine and parts of Russia
Not the Greatest of all time, but definitely the Greatest in this Era.
Usyk is the GOAT, dancing around the ring.
Gd breakdown mate... the way this blokes gone through 2 divisions is insane!
At 39 Briedis is still dangerous (congrats Jai!!), but to give away 40lbs to an unbeaten giraffe!!
Shows how physically and mentally conditioned Usyk is...
I don't wanna do the era vs era thing... but hes the best of this era...l rekn he beats Fury in a return, hes met him now.. always has plans and angles...
Fury has to improve...can he(?).
Yes he's an all time great. No question about it.
The question isn’t is he an ATG the question is is he The GOAT, is he the CW GOAT or is he the HW GOAT?
Of course. He will go down in history as
Well said! Couldn't agree with you more
Definitely an all-time great
There will never be a greaatest of all time, there will the magnificents of all time! They had their time and competition according to their fans. For sure Usyk is on thet list!!!
He beat Fury so hard people say Usyk was robbed even though he won.
And it was Fury in his best shape and form ever, according to everything I've heard for the last 3 weeks.
If Fury in his best shape and form had won this fight we'd be hearing how he's better than Ali, Mike Tyson, and everyone else.
Definitely top 10. His accomplishments, skill level and champion heart are overwhelmingly impressive. He does everything well and has no true weaknesses. Assuming he fights Fury next and beats him, he will have literally no potential opponent left on the horizon really worthy of fighting. When all is said and done he might be close to top 5 of all time.
Quality content, thank you bud!

Equally goat! Cleaned out the greatest heavyweights of our generation in an era of giants.
Of course he is an all time great. He's completely cleaned up a generation in 2 weight divisions. Top 10 for me already.
Better question is if he is p4p top 20 ATG or p4p top 15 ATG.
He’s definitely an all time great but I’m worried he did it too quick and has time to ruin his career, like you said who is there left to motivate him to push harder?
He’s an all time great 3 times over. One time for his amateur accomplishments another for his accomplishments at CW then again for HW
He is definitely in top 5
if he gets wins against fury 2, zhang, parker and kabayel he for sure is a top 5 heavyweight of all time
This was an all time fight, but my god people are overreacting
#1 CW, Minimum top 7 HW, overall ATG
He’s a goat in two weight divisions I feel like we could make a case for top 10 or 15 all time
if he gets a few more defenses under his belt he will be in the goat conversation
The white Holyfield 😅
Usyk and Crawford are the best of the best when it comes to p4p excellence 🙌
He's on the brink of top 10 hw of all time, he needs a couple more wins though. Fury and aj are great wins. Tyson, ali, holyfield, foreman etc have done more than him though. He should fight the winner of dubois and hrgovich next. Unless dubois wins, then he could fight kabayel
My only little negative thought at all about Usyk is i wish hes have bized more than once a year.
I think Usyk is one of the greatest fighters of all time and that should be obvious to any boxing fan.
I think he had the skill to be one of the GOATS, but the era he resides in just doesn’t give boxers the opportunity to. He just doesn’t have enough fights with the best of the bests, not that he doesn’t want to fight the best, but because it’s just to hard to make the fights.
You clearly didn't see his cruiserweight run. He cleaned a very very solid division of tough opponents
What other best of the best does he need to fight? Wilder? Andy Ruiz? No one’s beating him besides Fury, who also took his FIRST L vs Usyk. Unless beterbiev or JAI move up to make a mega fight but I still got Usyk smoking them. No other HW beating him unless Usyk becomes old over night
@@moisesvirgen7711 I’m not saying he’s ass, I’m saying the era that he fights in will be frowned upon, thus putting into question how great he actually was. We know we was the shit, but will the future be able to see that is the question.
Simply the best
Be ready for the dustiest oldheads in the comments regurgitating the same old fighters as always. Usyk is well on his way to GOAT status
Yes….. he should also knock wilder out to be the only one to beat all of the top 3 fighters of the late 2010s
Rocky Marciano. Period
He is most definitely an all time great. That’s not even a question. The question is “is he the greatest?”
Of course he's an all time great. It's not even a serious question anymore.
Dude just gained 30 pounds and then beat a guy who had 5 inches and 40 lbs on him.
The real question is, where is usyk on the all time p4p list?
GOAT
He is greatest of all time bcuz he fights unlike some fighters who just like to yap their mouth on Twitter
IS HE!?!? Real question is where does he stand on the goat rankings
Wym there’s no other possible for fights for his legacy? I wanna see Usyk vs Wilder! If he beats Wilder I think it would be pretty safe to call Usyk the greatest boxer ever.
Yes.
Top5 heavy ATG in no order
Ali
Foreman
Lewis
Holyfield
Usyk
Okay I read coupa comments and here it is I believe:
Usyk is no HW GOAT, he is no natural HW, he is 4-5 years in the division,
Usyk is all times great if we talking about BOXING, regardless of weight category,
He violated every top boxer, every champ in the most interesting and prestige 2 weight TOP categories,
Usyk is undeniably greatest boxer of all time.
Usyk is P4P no.1
If his skills are put in any other weight class he conquers.
Only Ali is ahead of Usyk in the all-time greats.
Just got into boxing how would u compare Mike and Usyk
Is usyuk a all time great, Now ? Yes but to be greatest which is a feat unknown has done is clean your division while undisputed.
Simply put " fuck up everybody in front of you'
Yes. One in a Million!
#1 all time . Record proves it
If your still being talk about 50 plus years after you retire, your a all time great.
Its really funny to me that usyk debutes against a boxer from the state i am from, Felipe el Indio Romero and that i personally know him and have talkes to him, i am only 1 person apart from knowing usyk😂
People had Fury a tier above all heavyweights. Usyk then takes the fight, and beats Fury.
Yes
Undisputed cruiserweight
Undisputed heavyweight
...
Yes
Yes and yes
yes.
most definitely greatest
