[@ShomshirAhmed]

As a man born in the 80's, Usyk is the greatest cruiserweight of all-time. Usyk fought through Glowacki, Huck, Breidis, and Gassiev. 3 of them were undefeated and Usyk beat all of them at away soil!

[@ChillsCentral]

Disrespectful to put a bunch of KZbinrs/influencers in with these fighters.

[@jackieboy3968]

Agreed

[@user-yv2ig2wl4e]

Let alone leaving Dwight Muhammad Qawi out

[@stoicotter1175]

This is old - took place before Oputaia v Breidis 2

[@user-he2ou2ex2f]

Well duh, most of this stuff is pre recorded way ahead of time then released fight week.

[@rickisunak]

Holyfield had Dwight Muhammad Qawi...but Usyk had bloody Briedis, Gassiev, Hunter, Huck, Glowacki (all in their prime). BRIEDIS. The guy could still probably beat every other cruiserweight apart from Opetaia.

[@ventsislavdimitrov4970]

2-3 rounds more and Jay been finished against Breidis . That guy is monster 👊

[@mandarkastronomonov2962]

You have a great point. I was a teen in the 80s and Holyfield was my second favourite fighter behind Julio Cesar Chavez and up until recent, I believed he was the GOAT at cruiserweight. However, it is an emotive decision. Qawi, Patkey, Tillman and DeLeon don’t stack against Glowaki, Huck, Breidis and Gassiev. I, sadly, have to give #1 cruiserweight position to Usyk.

[@ohyeahyeah8150]

Qawi beats Huck and Glowacki without issue, could beat Hunter, but not sure.

[@rickisunak]

​@@ohyeahyeah8150fair point! He was a terrific fighter.

[@H.K.5]

@@ohyeahyeah8150 Qawi definitely doesn’t beat Huck.

[@Twofacex2]

What a nice guy, routing for riakporhe but I wouldn’t be mad if he won

[@sam9239]

Holyfield is a weird one, because at cruiserweight he had a very poor resume of fighters, but after moving up he had an excellent one.

[@canelop4p181]

Holyfield was a small heavyweight and a dirty fighter. He cheated in the Tyson fights.

[@spreadeagle2561]

Excellent ratings by Chris.Yep,Holyfield and Uysk are clearly the 2 greatest cruiserweights in history. Holyfield vs Usyk is one of my favourite fantasy-fights.

[@thedude4794]

I think the options should of been Novice Average Good Elite Goat. As I think KSI and jake Paul are novice fighters.

[@mikethompson7132]

i agreed with most of that.

[@dem8667]

I think he needs to think about what elite actually means Bellew certainly wasn't elite and nor is half the people he put in there

[@shakes.dontknowwhatyergettin]

Bellew may be a walking meme, but he was absolutely elite, especially if you allow another tier above that..

[@AtlasPharaoh]

Usyk is the best ever at cruiserweight!!

[@shakes.dontknowwhatyergettin]

The octopus slayer.

[@dominicjohnson8427]

Usyk is the Goat

[@sainy375]

CBS elite? 😂😂😂 He gets punched more than any boxer I have ever seen. His defence is almost non-existent.

[@cardanoste6541]

Usyk then Holyfield

[@seangrofski]

its not being rated like that

[@canelop4p181]

Usyk is the greatest cruiserweight. The stats don't lie.

[@joefifa8415]

I'm sorry but the youtubers need to be in the retire tier. They aren't real boxers and if they fought and actual good cruiserweight they'd get destroyed

[@thetruesquad5059]

They shouldn't retire so why would they be in the retire tier list 🤦

[@H.K.5]

He has no idea what elite means.

[@noelazharson]

joke paul and lsi? you kiddin?

[@saifhussain9701]

Elite

[@LeeLee-gx9uv]

Get out of ere usyk all day

[@malakai.m7666]

Don’t think he knows what elite is tbh

[@anumiah1881]

Plastic world champion

[@LeeMassey87]

He beat Okolie comfortably who was WBO champion and Okolie retained the WBO belt 3 times.

[@peternut358]

100% agree absolute average boxer

[@LeeMassey87]

@@peternut358 I’m not a Billam-Smith fan but how is he a plastic champion

[@peternut358]

@@LeeMassey87 He will never man up and fight Opetaia because CBS knows if he does his career is over.

[@LeeMassey87]

@@peternut358 I’m not saying CBS will fight opetaia you don’t no that and I don’t no that but opetaia will get finished eventually. He got the win in his last fight but he wasn’t great. But you can’t say or agree CBS is a plastic champ. He isn’t he dominated the champ who retained his belt 3 times
