Top 10 heavyweight? 24-0 or is his competition very average this generation?

Just dismantled Dubois in 5 rounds.

Holyfield, Lewis, Tyson, Louis, Holmes, Frazier, Marciano, Clay, Foreman, Dempsey is at least ten better

Can't really count Dempsey because it was so long ago...same with Marciano, but I would throw both Klitschko brothers in there in their primes.

He beats half of them, at least. Different breed of HvyWt, chew em up and spit them out. Not brawl until somebody quits. Apples to apples, Usyk chops most of the down to kindling all day

His only advantage might be that he’s left-handed. Would he last one round with Tyson in his prime?

Head to head I don't think any heavyweight in history beats Usyk. The man is one of the most skilled boxers we've ever seen. And is just as good at 38 as he's ever been.

He would beat any version of Tyson you want to put in the ring with him. Tyson is the single most overrated fighter in the history of boxing.

I agree. That guy that Usyk beat yesterday would have just been another bum of the month for Joe Louis for example. Dubois is nothing.

Usyk hasn't impressed me much. Who really believes Usyk belongs with the greats, Ali, Louis, Foreman, Frazier, Dempsey, Liston, Marciano, Lewis, etc.?
Not me.

Who decides who is a tomato can and who isn't?

Usyk is an unbeaten unified champion across two weight divisions. His knockout last night was impressive - although I don't think he has incredible power for a HW - he is technically incredibly.

Easily top 5 and it's not up for debate. Usyk won't get the respect he deserves until he's gone because there's never been anyone like him and there may never be again.

There have been lots of great fighters listed here and they all deserve the respect they get but Usyk has a legitimate shot to beat ANY of them. The only one I canc see with that would give hiim a problem may be the young lion version of Tyson. Back then Tyson used his great boxing ability and head movement yet still had poower. This is the righty version of Usyk. And even still Usyk's footwork is light years ahread of this version of Tyson.as well as his ring IQ.

Usyk is special. ZERO doubt about that. The man is three time undesputed champion. He's also manhandling fighters in this era of super sized HW fighters. He's destroying fighters that outweigh him by 50 poinds.

And you "boxing is dead" faggots are laughable.Usyk vs Dubois filled up a fricking 90K seat stadium with many more PPV buys. Bitch please. What hurt boxing is $80 PPV cards with shite cards and questionable results. Turki has fixed that. No more PPV fees for DAZN fights featuring his promoted cards. That's HUGE.
