A legendary boxer has sparked controversy by claiming that Oleksandr Usyk, a two-time undisputed heavyweight champion, isn't an all-time great. James Toney, a three-weight world champion, stated that Usyk is 'average' and that none of the current fighters are 'all-time greats'. Toney's era saw him compete at the highest level during the 1990s and 2000s, claiming world honors at middleweight, super middleweight, and cruiserweight. While Usyk has achieved incredible feats, including defeating Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, and Daniel Dubois, Toney believes that the only way to become great is by fighting people who are great. However, Usyk still remains the WBC, WBA, and IBF heavyweight champion, and could yet change Toney's mind with any future performances. But here's where it gets controversial... Toney's comments have sparked debate among boxing fans, with some agreeing with his assessment and others defending Usyk's achievements. And this is the part most people miss... While Usyk may not have fought in Toney's era, his achievements are still remarkable and have earned him a place among the best heavyweights of all time. So, what do you think? Do you agree with Toney's assessment, or do you think Usyk is an all-time great? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
