    Usyk has had years of dominance at cruiser as well, including being undisputed. So yep he does have years of dominance in 2 divisions.

    I tend not to include them as a rule. I make an exception for Usyk as he started at cruiser and his feats against much bigger men deserve recognition.

    Usyk is the first long-term heavyweight to be rated P4P #1 since pre-Douglas Tyson.

    Roy was rated P4P #1 after Ruiz, but Roy was one n done at heavy.

    Usyk cleaned out a very impressive cruiserweight division and did so while fighting away from home.

    He has now beaten two out of the three best heavyweights of this era, including the very best this past weekend. This despite being the smaller man.

    I wouldn't claim he is better than Crawford, but it is fair to claim he is greater and this P4P number 1, especially after this weekend.

    Usyk is a solid fighter who came along at the right time. He's fortunate he didn't have to tangle with a prime big truck Braithwaite

    Yeah like Golota at the Garden in Ninety Six, just lucky he didn't have no prime big daddy in front of him.......

    Usyk's a great fighter. He has a solid case for beating any cruiserweight H2H.

    At heavyweight, I wouldn't take him over any of the ATGs - not an Ali, Lewis, Holmes, Tyson, Foreman, ect.

    But that isn't really a knock against Usyk.

    I wouldn't take him over the Greats either. I wouldn't take him over either Klitschko.

    Not in their primes, no. Wald seemed better suited to handle slick types than Vitali was, but I think both Klits in their physical primes would be too much for him.

    They both have a right hand. Usyk would eventually get the Bird treatment from Wlad and the Gomez treatment from Vitali.

    Usyk has the misfortune of moving up to heavyweight while already near the end of his prime, and then being inactive once he got there.

    Be it age, weight or inactivity, Usyk is nowhere near as crisp or fast in any of his heavyweight fights as he was at cruiserweight. H2H, that version of him is a bigger threat than any since he moved up.

    Usyk is a far, far greater fighter than wald pussy or his brother.

    Retarded take by Kneel as per usual. Nothing to see here save for his typical idiocy

    Usyk may stop him in the rematch.

    The last two years are showing us that the fast life will fuck you in the end in this game.

    Fury, Spence, Josh Taylor, all these guys partied, coked, and boozed outside the ring foe years, and now they're paying for it.

    Guys like Crawford and Usyk, who live clean lifestyles and stay in the gym, are still able to thrive.

    It's not just the partying but lack of activity. Lot of fighters in the past didn't exactly live like monks outside of the ring but they fought a minimum of 3/4 times per year.

    I love when they come up with these fake numbers. Same thing recording companies did with .mp3's

    Something costs a certain price, it was downloaded a millions times therefore they "lost "a kajillion dollars. That would be the case if everyone one of the people download/streaming would have otherwise purchased it. In reality that would only be a small percentage of people.

    You're probably right, but historically, Furry tends to win rematches. If the odds are good, I might have a small bet on him, even though I don't fancy his chances for the reasons you've given here.

    Agreed, I think Fury might win the rematch. He clearly has what it takes to hurt Usyk, and he's got the advantage of being younger.

    Plus, strategically he fought a dumb fight.

    I think Usyk does better in the rematch. Fury was in the best possible shape and he won’t put himself through that again. He’s lost now and the bar just dropped waay down for him. He’ll show up to cash a retirement check in the rematch, probably get KO’d then talk about how ‘Usyk was the better man tonight but I only lost because a bad knee’ or some shit, then drift off the radar for good..
