just curious what ppl think, i see a lot of opinions saying usyk, but then another poster in a different section said that hayes cruiser career should be rated a few tiers higher then usyks

i tried to understand that view but couldnt find myself agreeing with it

just curious, whose career do you rate higher. not necessarily who you suspect was better.

Usyk for me

Unreal boxer

and some comparisons

usyk: undisputed (all 4 major belts) + lineal
haye: unified (WBC, WBA, WBO) + lineal (steve cunningham had the ibf)

Voted Usyk, but I still feel that Haye was stronger for the time being. Usyk has the better record; Haye the better moments.

Haye was better but Usyk has achieved more as he has picked up all 4 titles.

Of course, Usyk. He has a better opposotion, more belts, he was more dominant in his fights.

It can't be Haye, surely. If we're talking about who accomplished more.

Haye won the world titles, and moved up to heavyweight. He didn't stick around long enough in the division, it was just a stepping stone to him.

If Haye had been a Cruiserweight his whole career, the answer may be different.

Usyk has to get the vote, but a prime Haye vs Usyk would be a very interesting fantasy matchup.

Usyk comfortably.
