At least at HW
Stiff robotic AJ and Spider Pear Fury didn’t/couldn’t ise the right tactics
He struggles with big heavy swarmers
Del Boy provide the blue print but isn’t that good
It's not how you start the fight...It's how you end the fight that matters. You people sound like a bunch of casuals who judge a fight simply on "expectations". Rico did better than you "expected" so you conclude that Usyk is somehow "lesser than". You guys do that with every single fighter..., particularly with fighters you don't like or fighters that don't have a similar shade of skin as your own. Usyk, the small heavyweight, is threatening to your ego.
More like the other way around.
He looked like he had nothing vs a swarmer who gave him no space and didn't gas out.
Usyk has traded on gas tank his entire career, unlucky for him Rico is a specimen and showed how overrated Usyk always was.
Usyk is old, there is no way around this fact. There have been only 3 heavyweights who held the title past 39 years of age, one of was George Foreman, the other Vitali Klitschko and the third is Oleksandr Usyk. He's on borrowed time, he's bound to lose if he continues to fight, he just doesn't look the same, he certainly did not in the Rico fight.

kabayel was a good duck but unfortunate for agit, we would be talking about him as one of the greats right now if usyk didnt shamelessly duck him to fight a big cream puff
Usyk landed 197 out of 674 thrown punches and won 8 or 9 rounds against Chisora. Against Rico he landed 113 out of 499 and lost majority of rounds. He looked old, complacent and overweight, because he was old complacent and overweight. Trying to equate an old Usyk to a young Usyk screams of uneducated boxing silliness, especially a young Usyk against one of his first heavyweight fights.

His weakness is that his offense has always been his defense, when he in the right shape he constantly pressing feinting up and down constantly and baits guys so he could land his super robotic accurate wide hooks....the thing is he always never put his hands up while he throws the wide wild accurate shots, del boy gave him issues with his swarming, and fury hit him with the kitchen sink fight 1 on some 10 8 shyt multiple rounds. I said then usyk cant be p4p and a atg with how suspect his defense looks...now that he bulked up be pressing less, not feinting changing levels and slow, to molasses slow...
Usyk likely he aint fight wilder because ahot wilder knocks him tf out....if im benavidez im asking for usyk now
He literally looked EXACTLY the same vs Chisora when he was 33, EXACTLY
Usyk is one of the very best mid range heavyweights at all time but he has nothing up close.
Styles make fights and aggressive heavyweights who can cut off the ring and pressure him would have a very good chance.
Fury, AJ and Dubois are all stand off and try and box types and Usyk had the style advantage over all 3, it's that simple.

how would he do v lennox lewis wlad and vitali klit? and the guys they fought as well
that would be tough
want to go back to mike tyson?
Oleksandr beats his fellow ukrainies
Mike's swarming would fold Oleksandr
Lennox upper is a bad time for Oleksandr
An American heavyweight era would have been much harder for oleksandr

Usyk's built his reputation on beating a bunch of average Euro fighters in the heavyweight division.
Tyson Fury is his best win....
Who is also one of the most overrated fighters today. I bet Rico also beats Fury. As did Ngannou.

euroids tend towards the upright 1-2 boxing style
An American heavyweight era would have been much harder for oleksandr
Bro Usyk was overweight and got old over night. The blueprint is Usyks age.

Big size advantage unnecessary Jack Rocky Joe and Mike beat Oleksandr too
Oleksandr lacks infighting as is characteristic of ukrainians
Oleksandr isnt great at taking body shots swarmers are masters of attacking downstairs
the 4 aforementioned names are also all time great talents like Oleksandr if not better
