Former British boxer Carl Froch believes that the Ukrainian has not done enough to be recognized as a leader.
Alexander Usik has yet to be considered the best heavyweight boxer of the twentieth century. Former world champion Carl Froch thinks so.
The famous former boxer compiled his top 5 division representatives, placing the holder of the WBA, WBO and IBF titles in second place.
“I will put Tyson Fury in the lead. I can only assume that Usik will take and beat Fury, but for me Tyson is still number one, because Alexander has not taken the place of the best, he beat Tyson in a match, which I really hope for.” , will take place in February. Then we will all know, but I put Fury in the first row. I think he should be number one, considering all his achievements. Usyk is in the second. step, because he beat Anthony Joshua.
Joshua is with me in the top 5 against my will. And not because I don’t know him. I will go over his past fights and his losses. Either way, I’m giving Joshua fourth place because he deserves it.
Third on the list is Deontay Wilder. He fought three epic fights against Fury and almost lost the first fight. Who should we give fifth place? I think we should name Zhang Zhilei. He is a skilled and good boxer,” Eurosport.com quoted Froch as saying.
Let’s remember that earlier former world champion George Groves called Usik a better boxer than Fury.
