1. It's pretty clear that Fury and Usyk are the cream of the crop today

The other contemporaries you mentioned are a step below them, perhaps two.

How Fury and Usyk would compare against the greats of the '70s is a fascinating question. We'll never know and can only speculate. Fury vs. Ali would be interesting as hell with their incredible head movement and feints.

But, for now, I'd settle for Fury vs. Usyk. That's realistic. I favor Fury due to his enormous size advantage, but Usyk has an unbelievable amateur record and has defied the odds at HW. You can't count him out.
