"The greatest? Are you kidding?" American ex-world champion speaks out against Usyk

Former world champion in two weight categories Timothy Bradley called it pointless to talk about the greatness of Oleksandr Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs) in the super heavyweight division after his victory in the rematch over Tyson Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs). Our compatriot has only fought seven fights in the king's division, which does not make him the strongest in history.

Bradley expressed this opinion in an interview with the Boxing News YouTube channel, boxingnews24.com reports. The former welterweight representative noted that although Usyk defeated Fury and Anthony Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), this does not give him the right to be listed as a super heavyweight icon, as many experts and fans are doing now.

"Is Usyk the greatest boxer of all time? Are you kidding? The fact that he defeated two of the best heavyweights doesn't make him one of the greatest in history. Usyk is not. You need to stop talking like that. He literally had seven fights. I understand that he has titles. He cleaned up the heavyweight division. Now he's moved up to super heavyweight. I wouldn't say that he's cleaned up this division either, he just beat the two best guys. And you say he's the greatest. Wow! Stop it. He's a legend in his own right, but he's not the greatest," Bradley said.

As a reminder, all three judges of the Usyk vs. Fury 2 fight gave the victory to the Ukrainian boxer with a score of 116-112. In addition, it became known what result was recorded by artificial intelligence. After the fight, it was "qualified."

Former champion Anthony Joshua gave his version of the rounds. And the legendary Lennox Lewis admitted that he was not impressed with the fight.

In addition, promoter Eddie Hearn disputed the score of the rematch between Usyk and Fury. In turn, the British media learned what Tyson was told before the 12th round of the fight.

At the same time, impressive statistics of the opponents' punches in the fight were published. A photo showed what Fury's face looked like after 100 missed punches from Usyk.

After the victory, the Ukrainian boxer decided on his next opponent and also made a confession about the rematch with Tyson.
