    Given the renaissance period that Ukrainian boxing has had over the last 25 years, I’m curious to see what people here think.

    Who’s your top 5 Ukrainian boxers ever?

    Wlad before Loma is definitely right for me
    Of course the eye test and amateur accolades go to loma, but as it stands Wlad has done more for sure as a pro

    I suspect many will put loma ahead of wlad because they like him more, but it's not a popularity contest

    On record, Wlad.

    People's champion: Usyk.

    On skills: Lomachenko.

    H2H: Vitali Klitschko

    You could make an argument that Usyk is the #1 cruiser and pips Wlad for the top spot. Myself, I like Wlad's decade of dominance more.

    I mean...it's clearly Usyk, and that isn't recency bias.

    Swap the top two around and it's pretty much where I'd have it.

    Can see an argument for swapping Vitali and Gvozdyk, but I'm fine with either way around really.

    :lol:

    Whether you exclude K2 from consideration on a technicality or not, Usyk stills clears them both. He basically has already cleaned out HW as much as either of them did, in a shorter timeframe - and that's on top of being the arguable GOAT of CW.
