– Anthony Joshua
– Tyson Fury
– Daniel Dubois
– Mairis Briedis
– Murat Gassiev
– Marco Huck
– Michael Hunter
– Thabiso Mchunu
– Krzysztof Głowacki: *First profession defeat
– Tony Bellew

All Time nice, are you kidding me?” mentioned Tim Bradley on social media, reacting to the reward that Oleksandr Usyk has been receiving from followers for his win over Tyson Fury final Saturday night time in Riyadh.
“Man, look. Recency bias. Simply because he beat the 2 finest heavyweights [Fury and Anthony Joshua] doesn’t make him an all-time nice,” continued Bradley together with his downgrading of two-division undisputed champion Usyk.
“Usyk, he’s NOT an all-time nice. Y’all must cease with that. He’s actually had seven fights. Give guys within the heavyweight division. I perceive that he has accolades. He cleaned out the division at cruiserweight. I get that. Now, he involves heavyweight. I wouldn’t say he cleaned out, however he beat the 2 finest guys within the division,” mentioned Bradley about Usyk’s wins over the 2 growing older British heavyweights, Fury and Joshua.
Cleansing Out The Division
The victories for Usyk over Fury, Joshua, and Dubois means he’s cleaned out the heavyweight division. That, alongside together with his accomplishments as a cruiserweight, makes him an all-time nice and possibly the perfect of all time.
