If Joshua convincingly beats Usyk, where does he rank all-time?

[codfather]

I reckon top 10.

 

[Seano]

Usyk has never beaten anyone of note at heavyweight. Fans will just say he didn't belong at the weight.

 

[JayE]

Definitely not top 10. Maybe gets in the top 20 conversation, but probably not even top 20 just yet. If he unifies, you can start talking top 10.

 

[Old Cat]

Where he was the day before.

 

[PUO3]

Usyk doesnt move the chains much for ATG discussions, imo. Id have AJ around the 25 mark I guess.

Hes actually got a pretty damn good resume as it stands. If Fury/Wilder ever get their shit together AJ has a real chance to catapult himself into the top 10 with a win over those clowns.

 

[4daLuLZ]

Below Top 10 but definitely above top 100............maybe.

 

[RizinSon88]

It's not like this guy has proven himself to be Holyfield or even David Haye at heavyweight before challenging the top guy at HW. This fight would mean more if he beat a strong list of quality opponents at heavyweight first.

 

[Misery Signals]

I'm going to wait until his career is over or close to before trying to rank him all time.

 

[toogreen]

doesnt move him at all, he’s expected to win

 

[borntoloseNOT]

I reckon drugs are involved here

 

[ironfist05]

Usyk doens't add much, as others are pointing to, probably top 20-25 all time. A win over Fury, that does a lot more.

 

[Stormtrooper85]

I reckon top 10.

All time as in the entire history of Heavyweight Champions?
You think beating Usyk means much?

 

[MMALOPEZ]

Beating Usyk does nothing for him… I don’t think Joshua is even top 50 all time in the division right now or even beating usyk

 

[Hagler]

That’s a decent win and decent wins aren’t what make you move up ATG rankings.

 

[Sonxy]

What place would he have if he loses to Usyk and ends his career?
Would he even be top 25-50 ATG?

 

[Roids]

I reckon top 10.

Pulev aside, who has Joshua got on his resume that puts him in any ATG discussion?

An old Vlad. Dillian Whyte?! Parker? Ruiz?

An ATG and a bunch of top 10 wins? Seems like a good way to get on the list, no?

I think TS is confusing Usyk with Crawford. Easy mistake to make, no harm done.

It was an exciting fight vs Vlad and it’s a good win, but it was also life and death vs a guy who was clearly past his best.

As for the other guys, they may have been top 10, but are any of them really the stuff of an ATG resume?
