He’s up there. You can’t deny it. That resume is unbelievable.
Yes, but he hasn't defended his undisputed title. You can't rank him as high as Holyfield or Frazier or Holmes or Ali who defended their undisputed titles against better competition than wobbly Fury.
@@johnsonanum I did say up there. I’m not saying he is number one, I agree you have to defend those titles. But he’s definitely the best of this generation for sure. And top 10 of all time imo. Easy to Slate fury also, but a lot of those names would struggle with fury pal.
@@astradala1845 Yes, he is arguably the best of his generation. But keep in mind that this generation spends too much time avoiding each other and Usyk has only fought 5 heavyweights (4 of them from one country).
@@johnsonanum For sure, but I would not say Uysk has avoided anybody ever, I think he is the one heavyweight who has gone for the big fights. The others talk and talk but never fight, like you said. I mean how long have we waited for Fury Vs AJ.
@@astradala1845 Perhaps Usyk fought those guys because they were the champions and he was the underdog of the division. I'll believe you if, now he's the champion, he takes on hungry younger fighters like Joseph Parker, Filip Hrgovic and Agit Kabayel.
Lomachenko, Usyk, GGG these guys had over 320+ Amature fights each.
🇺🇦🇰🇿
That’s why they so dominant when it comes to the pros they are fully formed.
We rush our fighters through which I get it’s a violent sport you want to be getting paid as soon as possible.
and Beterbiev
Professional fights are the measure of a great boxer. Beating up taxi drivers and receptionists in amateur fights doesn't count. Sugar Ray Robinson isn't the greatest PFP boxer because of his 85 amateur fights, but because of his 201 professional fights against many excellent fighters.
I didn't know they fixed motors.
✅ Olympic Gold Medalist 🥇
✅ Undisputed Cruiserweight Champ 👑
✅ Undisputed Heavyweight Champ 👑
✅ Undefeated
✅ Lineal Champ
✅ Amateur record: 335 wins vs 15 losses!
Very humble champion, & undisputed gentleman. IMO, he is the GOAT! but absolutely one of the best of all time! 👑
Very impressive
Don’t think this record will ever be broken
World Amateur Gold - Olympic Gold - Cruiserweight Undisputed World Champion - Heavyweight Undisputed World Champion : Can you name another? NO. … he is the greatest ever and that is in itself INDISPUTABLE
You're so right
👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿
Nowere near the greatest
@@David-be7jn we don't give a damn about your opinion
@@David-be7jn cry baby, cry
They are all bums in this division. They wouldn’t lace Vitalis boots
If you didn't think he was special before the Bellew fight, i don't know what to tell you.
I’m only 28 but he’s the best I’ve ever seen. I can’t think of another boxer in the modern era that could overcome a 40lb weight difference. There’s weight categories for a reason and I get that it gets a bit different as the weights go up, but his CV is remarkable
He hasn’t fought anyone Ali fought great fighters
@@David-be7jn😂😂😂
Can you imagine the adulation & superlatives that would be flowing had Usyk been a smooth talking Brit? He would have been spoken of as the sportsman of the millennium. He absolutely has to be in the discussion for GOAT.
Exactly. British boxers are 50% hype, 30% talent and 20% ducking other boxers in their prime.
Facts! Even if he was American,
Sadly personality and marketability plays a big part in boxing
Usyk is at least in the GOAT conversation,but in my book he is the GOAT
Usyk, Loma, Messi, Federer - my favourite athletes. Humble warriors of Christ.
He's cleaned out the Cruiserweights and Heavyweights, Congrats to Usyk a very Special fighter indeed
& Olympic Gold Medalist! He’s a legend
What a lad he is..not just a quality fighter but so humble as well..congratulations usyk..❤
If Usyk is the best ever is arguable because there are a lot of factors to consider, but he is definitely the best ever in terms of achievements. He is Olympic gold medalist, amateur champion, undisputed cruserweight and heavyweight champion and still undefeated.
Ali won a gold medal as a TEENAGED light heavyweight! Then he became heavyweight champ at 22! Then he beat every great heavyweight in THREE different eras over 15 years and this was after being banned from boxing for 3 years in his prime!
Bottom line is that usyk is a great fighter but even his accomplishments pale in comparison to Ali!
National champ, european champ, world champ, 320+ amature fights, Muhammad Ali Trophy. Completely dominated cruiser weight division and moved up in weight division. Faced arguably two of the best Heavyweights in this era and won against both of them.
He lost a few in amateurs bro
@@rda6029 these are FACTS he's the GSP/Jones of boxing lol Ali was the greatest but I do believe that Usyk and Ali would a been a crazy ass fight but more than likely Ali woulda got that ass but who knows
@@rda6029 Ali never had the legendary amateur career Usyk has had, and he's lost 5 times whereas Usyk is undefeated as a professional.
Usyk has achieved so much in 22 fights, one of the best this generation
Why would there be a re-match,Usyk has already humiliated him once and Fury was only saved by the ref last night....
Because its in the contract
@@CamMackay96yeah you mean like the same way Fury honored the rematch clause with Wlad?! 😅
Usyk shud retire now. He's done it all. Don't need the money. I widnt give fury a rematch. He got done embarrassed by the middleweight.
@@CamMackay96doesn't mean they have to fight ?..one could retire ?
@@Smiffy-72he could do but what does that do for his legacy?
Best ever? no one could possibly know that but definitely the best of his era!!
They mean with everyone known in the history of Boxing.
@@stephenwangondu3618 Well my personal opinion for the 3 best heavyweights ever are 1. Lennox Lewis (Beat every man he ever stepped in the ring with) 2. Muhammad Ali 9 Greatest chin and lateral movement for a heavyweight) 3. Joe Louis (World champion for 12 years straight) So no I don't think Usyk is the best ever but is the best in this erra.
@@jjfredrickson3641Usyk would kill 180lb joe Louis
Undisputed in cruiser and now heavy and undefeated I’m sorry but he has to been seen as the greatest of all time.. I no it’s hard to look at the past and compare but the greatness is real
Holyfield did the same.
You’re not serious 😂 he’s not the first to do that. Secondly the competition he beat isn’t all that. The only all time great he beat was arguably fury. And even then is fury an all time great? There are guys like Inoue who has done the same thing ln 3 weight classes
@@FrankieBlueEyes And Holyfield defended his undisputed heavyweight title three times (against legends like Larry Holmes and George Foreman), so he is still greater than Usyk.
@@FrankieBlueEyes Yeah, but Holyfield was never an Olympic Gold medalist like Usyk either. They are not the same. Usyk is much better.
@jboi6398 saying Usyk is much better is an opinion, and you're entitled to it. But don't state it as if it's an absolute fact. Especially when it's one that would be highly disputed by many. For the record, though, Holyfield is a big Usyk fan. He spoke to him before the fight and picked him to beat Fury..
He’s definitely one of them. Humiliated Fury. Saved by the ref!
He didn’t humilitae him for gods sake
What a bizarre thing to say
Some fukin right knobs obviously had to many lines last night
@@TimComleytotally humiliated Fury. Schooled him, thrashed him, humiliated him. Just watch how ridiculous Fury looks bouncing around the ropes.
This is not Ali rope-a-dope this is Fury getting exposed in real time for the cherry picking fraud he’s been all along.
Sorry some harsh criticism from me, it’s not a personal attack on you, I just think Usyk is a far superior fighter.
Fury outboxed Usyk most the fight, apart from round 9 Usyk didn't do much.
For sure. He hasn't lost since the amatures and has beaten the best in every devision, cleaning out all the top guys as he's gone through. You can't say that about Ali, Tyson, Lewis. So guys, he is such a hard working and focused guy. The best ever.
He’s the greatest cruiserweight of all time no doubt.
Holyfield.
@@FrankieBlueEyes he’d beat Holyfield imo.
@@Asadali_98 I don't know about that. You probably didn't watch prime Evander.
@@Asadali_98 it's all opinions, who knows? I watched Holyfield in his prime as a cruiserweight and heavyweight and he was a great fighter. He's from my Era, so I am biased toward him. I will say this, Usyk is a guy that I think gets underestimated time and time again and just keeps proving people wrong.
@@lothianslegacy9409 it’d be a very good fight but I reckon usyk edges it.
I think he should retire honorably so he doesn't mess up his sublime records
Retire like a coward, yes. Just like Riddick Bowe.
@@johnsonanum Smart men retire before it's too late and severe damage gets done, get a clue kid
Like a coward? I think you are talking about Luke Fury, mate. Luke never gave Vladimir a rematch. He could have fought Aj years ago bust he hasn't. Usyk beat him and then Aj twice. @johnsonanum
His ring IQ and intelligence is incredible. He just finds a way to win. He's amazing .
No he's just the best around right now, you can only be the best in your time in your chosen sport
Fury had a 6 inch hight advantage, 7 inch reach advantage, 39 pound weight advantage. Fury had the ref and the judges and the money interests on his side and Usyk won. This was a real life David vs Goliath fight. It couldn’t have hapened to a nicer guy. The world needs to see good win. In a synical world we need good honorable rolemodels that will drive us away frm synicism.
Top 3 best boxers right now
Usyk 🇺🇦 Inoue 🇯🇵 Bud 🇺🇲
All undefeated and all 2x division undisputed champions
But one did it with a 40 pound disadvantage
And then add the winner of Bivol and Beterbiev , if it happens , and we should have the top 4 , p4p
Hrgović is top 3
Canelo?
@@francosteinmann3238Usyk win Beterbiev two times in amateur
It will never be done again
Yes....yes he is!
Comparing athletes across generations is tough, and we should factor in how they compared to their peers at the time. Even so, prime 1960s Ali was untouchable in more ways than one - unbeatable and virtually unhittable with superhuman reflexes. He was freakishly exceptional, gifted with natural talent. Just imagine Ali with today's nutrition and training. Scary. I'd say he's cemented as the GOAT.
Meanwhile, Usyk will certainly go down as one of the GOATs.
Tyson, Knockout (TKO) - Round 9
Definitely among the very best
Best boxer of this era
Achieved a lot in a short time
Hats off to him
Usyk should retire on top
One of the best, to all the old heads, embrace greatness
No
I’m 19 and I learned about the heavyweights who were some of the best heavyweight of all time in boxing history
Muhammad Ali number one
Number two joe Louis
Usyk is not even a top ten heavyweight of all time
@@shazebahmed0704 you overrate past fighters. happens in every sport. athletes are always better than the last generation
@@oliviertrudel2384 that’s not true usyk would not beat Ali joe Louis George Foreman Larry holmes joe Frazier
Riddick bowe evander Holyfield lennox Lewis
@@shazebahmed0704 he would. like it or not fighters always get better.
Think Sugar Ray Robinson may have something to say about that ...
All our champions are overrated these days. But put them in a ring with Ray Robinson or Harry Greb or Sam Langford or ......and they won't last 20 rounds.
@@johnsonanumyeah ok unc take your meds
@@johnsonanum😂🤣🤡
Usyk is human after all .What a legend .
Absolutely uysk is the king..the very greatest a beautiful boxer ..beautiful human being...he's definitely the very very best like I've always said we us as boxing fans have ever seen..just beautiful...God bless the king mr uysk you are great...thank you...
Definitely in the top 10.
You cant be the best ever because its impossible to compare different era's, just be happy with best of his time in boxing, hope he retires unbeaten,one more fight and call it a day
He's in the conversation for sure. He needs a few more high profile fights imo.
It took almost 24 years to get a new Undisputed Heavyweight Champion and it took Usyk only 6 fights at Heavyweight to become Undisputed champion. 50 years time we will be talking about Olexander Usyk.
Greatness. Legend. G.O.A.T
Nah
Usyk is one of the best ever without a doubt.
If he could also successfully defend his title against Hrgovic, Parker, Zhang, Wilder or Kabayel. Itd be hard not to consider him the goat.
Usyk oozes class. Absolute legend of a man
usyk to be pro trainer in the future . and to be talked about like gus damato
No mention of Lennox Lewis?
Lewis is the goat.
Lewis is great but at the time of his career no one was saying that
@@jasonallatt5410 they were
Lewis was beat
@@stevenicol1 nope, I remember loads of people saying that the last generation was better. Always the same. People are appreciated after they retire. Don’t forget Lewis was knocked out twice by one punch. Not knocking him because he revenged the losses but people were calling him chinny.
The record speaks for itself. No one else, ever, has achieved anything comparable. This is an open and shut case. Of course he is.
He did what he had to ,humbly, he is there for boxing. Never put no boxer down. They tried playing and mocking him, ref and one judge were seemingly shady. He is not a big mouth ,braggart, or smart ass. Bratya walk away now and avoid the drama. Nahshee loodeh. Slava .
Usyk’s resume speaks for itself, a true great. The way he’s beat Tyson Fury was incredible 👏👏👏👏👑🇺🇦
No one never been UNDISPUTED in two weight categories only USYK DONE IT and in just 22 fights so there is no comparison to be made against no one.
To me OLEKSANDR USYK IS GOAT
Usyk is now a top 5 boxer of all time.
Yes
Usyk as of today is definitely the most accomplished boxer of all time.😀 No doubt.
I remember when fury said usyk maybe Alexander but he is the greatest...it was a good fight for both too...
Madness
Yep hes a GOAT
Mile Tyson ? Ali? Sugar ray Robinson? Mayweather? Lewis? Joe Louis?
Mike tyson lost to evander. Usyk vs evander would be a close fight
Ray Robinson was the goat over 200 professional fights 89-0 as a amateur
I’d say probably one of the top 3 heavyweights of all time imo, can’t rank him below the top 5. In terms of greatest boxers of all time, that one is harder to break through, too many legendary fighters in history, certain in that he isn’t number 1 but could break top 10, which is nothing to be scoffed at.
Could break top 10? You're having a laugh. No one has achieved what he achieved and we dont know when somoen will. Holyfield was undesputed not in the 4 belt era. Usyk has beat everyone on away soil, won the muhammed ali trophy, olympic gold medal, european champ, and hes fought agaisnt monsters who are all way taller, heavier, and higher reach. Ali fought agaisnt people hen was taller than. Usyk doesnt get the credit he deserves
@@rediii9239 Top 10 boxers of all time? I think it’s possible he’s broken into that, but are you insane saying there’s no doubt? Have you seen some of the names that there are on this list? Forget amateurs, many fighters won Olympic gold etc. it means nothing, we’re talking about pro boxing, although we can name people like Ray Robinson who went 84-0 with 69 KO in amateurs and as a pro was undisputed in 2 divisions multiple times having gone on an 89 fight win streak. Or Ali who beat multiple generations of legendary fighters during the golden age of heavyweight boxing, including peak Foreman who even 20 years later became world champion. Or Joe Louis who had 26 defences of his world title. Or Pacquiao who won titles in 8 divisions, or Mayweather who beat the who’s who in a good age of lightweight and welterweight boxing. Or Henry Armstrong who held 3 of 8 glamour division world titles at one time and went 27-0 in 1 year with 26 KOs. Or Roberto Duran who was a career lightweight and won titles as high as light heavyweight.
And there are many other legendary achievements in the history of boxing.
Usyk is a great fighter and I’m being generous when I say he could break in with these guys, because some of the achievements of these guys are other worldly.
And discrediting Ali in poor taste when it’s long been said this era has an overrated set of heavyweights. The only legit heavyweights Usyk fought taller than him are AJ and Fury, unless we’re also counting the legendary Dubois.
He’s nowhere near any conversation of one of the greatest😂😂😂 his pro career hasn’t got the depth to even think this!!! He’s only had 20odd fights!!!!!You do realise fury lost to an mma fighter mind and now your all going crazy cause usyk beat him
The rematch will be highly anticipated. Tyson Fury is a smart fighter and he will be back much better.
I think hes deffo put himself in the conversation
100%
Usyk is one of the greatest of all time! And Usyk won very convincingly! So send the memo to any delusional fools Usyk clearly won and is certainly one of the greatest of all time!!!
Greatest ever no not in my opinion, but he’s the best of this era and an all time great
Yes he is (of this era only, he's not moving Ali or either Lewis). I'm a massive, massive Fury fan but the truth is the truth. Fury imo, had the chance to take his spirit. He had him hurt at times but seemed to hesitate after key body shots. The clowning around, goading, showing off at times, not wise from Fury. It was too close at times but ultimately it comes down to woulda, shoulda, coulda. Fury had chances to win this but Usyk's technique and IQ can't be ignored. Simple as that. It should have been stopped in round 9, Fury has amazing recovery skills but if the ref doesn't intervene he goes out on his back.
He is definitely in the discussion but imho he isn’t in the top five. Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, Roberto Duran, Joe Louis and Henry Armstrong will NEVER be dethroned. They were rarified specimens of the sport.
Yes, Usyk is the Greatest
Yes, Muhammad Ali is the greatest heavyweight ever.
@@johnsonanum Klitschko had more title defenses than Ali and was a longer reigning champion
@@jboi6398 Yes, but Klitschko dominated a much weaker era of heavyweight boxing than Ali. Ask anyone who knows boxing history.
@@johnsonanum Ali lost usyk did not
The best ever by a mile .
Nope, too five yes but not the best.. I can think of five others that would knock him out
Cleared entire heavyweight devision in 6 fights!
I don't know if he's the GOAT, but he's definitely entered the debate
He beat bigger heavier opponents and beat opponents in their back yard guys a winner 22 fights thats crazy 😊
Of all time? Hard to say. Of the last two decades? 100% yes.
Amazing Champion 🎉. However I pray he lives to a very old age cos that's over 300+fights/concussion 😮
As long as Fury don't call himself the greatest I'm good!
What a humbler for the big mouthed Fury fans.
You guys please keep silent abeg 😂😂😂
You have to put him up there, Unified Cruiser and Heavy in so few fights.
The man has done everything in boxing, beat the best, schooled the best. And for suxh a small guy to school the big heavyweights.
The GOAT, Werry Nice, Werry Feel!
usyk is an all time great
Maybe not the greatest of all time, but certainly the greatest of our time ❤
He is definitely the best boxer of this generation.
No. This generation yeh you can say that but when different era has their best ever & theyre all diffrent then you cant compare them
Usyk is very special and the best of his generation but to say he's the best ever, I'd have to disagree. I think Lewis, Ali, Tyson fought much tougher era's.
No, come on. I'm not having that. He's at the top table, let's just leave it at that.
GOAT
He is the best boxer. There are boxers and there is USYK17
Well,he could be good but Muhammad Ali remains the greatest of all time coz he combined a lot of things,so entertaining,very fast, the science of art etc
Forget me nots..he's the best now
You can't compare generations.
Least fights of all time to attain goat status talk…
Yeah all the noise is settled now, kudos to Usyk for overpowering Fury
I think a prime Ali beats Usyk but hes definitely in the convo
Wow 😅
The people do not even realize how hard it is to fight against a guy who is 5kg heavier than you, but not even 15 kg it's immense advantage and gigantic reach advantage and usyk beat 3 OF THEM
Ali : campeão olímpico , luta(s) do século, não invicto mais enfrentou os maiores
Floyd: invicto, não campeão olímpico mas enfrentou os maiores da sua geração, luta do século.
Usyk: invicto , campeão olímpico, e fez a fará luta do século ( assim como Ali pode fazer a maior de todos os tempos).
Veredito: Usyk estara no topo , o problema é o boxe ter mma como concorrente.
USYK USYK USYK
Certainly the most accomplished HW of all time.
Better than Ali?
No.
Usyk is the man
I’d say he is, I thought Fury would destroy him.
He’s tiny as a heavy weight and beat everyone
You have got to be kidding me? Emile Griffith, Sugar Ray's (x2), Ali, Frazier, Duran, Hagler, Pacquaio, Mayweather, Jones. Hes not even in the debate.
Usyk is, just like Fury, one of the all time greats, but but no means, just like Fury isn't, the greatest of all time. To be be that you have to rule for many years and beat top opposition.
an unequivocal yes
USYK is definitely in the conversation for greatest boxer ever because he did it in only 22 professional fights.
Holyfield done the same in 24 fights but in a much better division plus Holyfield is also the only 4 time heavyweight champion! Usyk hasn’t got the depth or longevity to even consider that😂😂
What do you mean closed fight ? USYK beats him clean period
No, but he is among the greatest..
Mohammed Ali is GOAT
Ali lost
GOAT he is. What a performance by the Ukrainian. Ukrainian boxing is something 👏
I laughed when i read the headline. Grow up.
Usyk actually won by TKO but the ref messed up
