He’s defeated them all, some several times over, never lost a fight, became undisputed at cruiserweight then heavyweight. All quality opponents the best the divisions had to offer. Whatever you want to say about Joshua, Fury, and Dubois, these 3 were the elite of heavyweight boxing when Usyk fought them….
All that’s left now are no name boxers looking to make a name but they’re not here to stay they’re not going to mark their names in boxing annals as one of the best, the pedigree isn’t there. Zhang, Parker, Kabayel, Bakole… these guys are either too old, have lost several times, or unproven.. what’s the benefit of fighting one of them risking a loss as you’re aging and slowing down only to give them a star on their resume while tarnishing you’re own.
RETIRE USYK… you have achieved more than 99.9% of boxers can ever hope to achieve and now you have enough money for 5 lifetimes.
Well he can work on his resume my fighting Wilder or Ruiz :D
A fight with Hrgovic would be more respect.
Fully clothed… I wouldn’t read too much into it tbh.
I see another close decision fight, where Usyk takes over late and gets the edge.
So he is about 278 then. Fat. He has not spared much and is as crooked as a dog's backs leg. I say he get his @ss kicked.
See this is the problem with you and other nuthuggers. You want to over rate (or allow him to be over rated) Vitaly and than when he gets taken down a peg you complain "I don't see constant threads" about other fighters. Well I don't see such hero worship for any other fighters besides Pac and Floyd. And I had my battles about them years ago.
By the way, its good to see you back "Lucky Jim". Or should I say Stones?
This is an old post of yours, but you admit to hero worship Floyd Mayweather jr? In the ring only, I hope. Outside the ring the man is despicable.
russia vs Ukraine is already a known proxy war
American and eu bankrolls ukraine
china bankrolls russia
This is a USA boarder war . 11+ million of illegal migrants who will drain USA resources with a portion of which committing crimes, women being relegrated to prostitues and almost all of them do not speak English and are very low skill type of workers.
ENOUGH of this. We must stop the flow of millions of people coming to the USA.
De Mori has 6 debutees on his record. and 10 opponents with losing records ,he has fought nobody even remotely useful, and he is 41 years old.lol
This fight is a gimmee, a well paid sparring session.
The demands of marketing made this fight. If you follow the game Di Mori name has been used for several contenders this year and last year. I hope Hrgovic does not take him out in one round, and with his power that is a possibility.
I would rather Hrgovic fight Parker, Ruiz jr , or Ortiz but they have passed on the opportunity to meet him. So he knock De Mori out who is willing to fight him, and the finally fight for the IBF world title. As you can see, Hrgovic is the future of heavy boxing as his age, ranking, and ability are all good. So is his power, height, and reach. This is not you grandpa's heavyweight division!
Wilder if he wins will likely fight Joshua is he wins, the purse will be huge. The Saudi's have the inside track to promote that one.
I did a little looking and according to boxrec there are 27 active female HW boxers, apparently the IBF is the only sanctioning body who has a female version of the HW title and Loni Daniels who is the current holder is simultaneously the IBF womens LHW champion.
I'm going to see if I can find some video of her fights.
I'm sure every boxing fan wants to meet these heavyweight chicks. Got any pictures? :lol1: Personally I am a fan of the women's pin weight division!,

What a card! May the winners meet.
Well , I picked 5 out of 6 winners.
All great matchups, besides Filip Hrgovic vs. Mark de Mori. What is the point of this fight? Over as soon as Hrgovic lands a power punch. Very weak opposition. Hrgovic's people should have used this opportunity to showcase his talent. Why fight a tomato can? Weird and counterproductive. Maybe the Saudi money could only stretch so far.
Di Mori is 41-2-2 with 39 KO;s.
Your can call Di Mori an Aussie Wilder as they both built their wins on weak opposition. No one is willing to risk a non title fight vs Hrgovic, but that will change as his next fight is for the IBF world title!
Wonder if there are those concerts in-between fights
Maybe there will be music. And I hear women will be allowed to attend. You can call it a heavyweight party in the desert.
We have 3 competitive fights, Joshua -Wallin, Wilder-Parker and maybe Dubois - Miller. Everything else is very predictable.
Hrgovic`s opponent has no chance, Fa has no chance, Arthur has no chance, Kabayel has very little chance.
Three competitive fights on one card is ultra rare these days at heavyweight. Boxing has no universal commission. Past / current champions in Fury and Wilder do not fight top ten ring rated opponents enough
They are guilty or belt milking. IMO a champion should fight at least two ring ranked opponents in two years time.
They can go to the liberal craphole cities that have strict gun laws and do a lot of damage. Who’s going to smoke Chinese soldiers there? The Trans Story Hour brigade will bend over for them in no time.
No one should want war between the USA and China.
BUT, I have reason to suspect the China and Russia are funding these migrants by giving money to Mexican thugs to grant them safe passage and crash the boarders which in turn will drain USA resources. Think about that.
Seriously the USA should consider this a proxy type of war.
Bernard Hopkins vs Kelly Pavlik.
To this day I still don't know what Larry meant when he said "This fight will be between two construction workers over a sandwich...is it a turkey sandwich or a roast beef sandwich."
In Larry defense it wasn't just any roast beef sandwich, but a legendary Philly one! Try their subs as they are out of this world.
i rewatched the fight again. I had it 6-4. Besides the last couple of rounds and the knock down round ngannou wasn't landing much. He was walking in and and getting outjabbed and out landed by fury. People are just giving ngannou every round they can because he's an mma fighter. NGANNOU is lucky fury has no power and slaps his shots. It shows how weak this hw era is.
I had it 5 -5 in rounds with Ngannou scoring the knock dock down winner round three 10-8. So Ngannou wins
Fury is a fraud. His love handles did most of his movement. They bobbed and weaved all night long.
Ngannou has next to no boxing skills. And his boxing power is over rated by Fury fans.
it's saying 546 today. And They've had 50 pro shows this year, that's an average of like one a week.
India have more current pro boxers than Russia,, they have over double the amount of current pro boxers that Ukraine has
and more current pro boxers than Ukraine, Cuba, Ireland ,Kazakhstan and Belarus COMBINED!
and more current pro boxers than Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan COMBINED!
In Russia most of the men are at war, or deserting the country. The same goes for Ukraine. Boxing is losing a lot of talent from 201-160 LBS.
Yeah, kinda, but if De Mori pulls it it'll be funny so I'm good
It was over in one round. He blew him away. If you went to the bathroom you might have missed it.
Current IBF mandatory heavyweight title challenger Filip “El Animal” Hrgovic (17-0, 14 KOs) crushed Mark “The Viking” De Mori (41-3-2, 36 KOs) in the first round on Saturday night on the super card at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. IBF #1, WBO #5, WBC #11, WBA #12 Hrgovic dropped De Mori in round one, then punished him until the towel came in. Time was 1:46. Hrgovic promised he would punish De Mori and he did.
undocumented people dont qualify for most federal social services. in fact they often pay into a system that they dont have access to, through taxes: sales, payroll,, etc...
a ton of people who are here "illegally" simply overstay their visas. its been studied. revoke all visas? stop all immigration? not reasonable or healthy. the border crossings are just red meat to people who need to tangibly see something they dont like. they arent the type of people that like facts or that sort of thing. of course the more its emphasized the madder they get because emphasis is the tool of the propagandist. oh and if you have a video of someone crossing the border yee-ha thats a winner. cant really get a good video of someone overstaying their visa...
undocumented people commit crimes at a much lower rate than actual american citizens. its been studied. i wish all americans could comport themselves like undocumented people...a healthier safer society would be had.
being a prostitute is not a low skill type of work. you must be going to the wrong prostitutes...
The do qualify for cleaning up America, taking care if the elderly, gardening work, farming work, house work, low level construction... those type of things.
I say give them a choice, Immediate deportation, or sight an indenture servitude contact.
Tax the contract. It will be a win, win. The contact incudes safe passenger, food, a designated place to live and protection under the law. They must prove be willing to work. Companies or individual USA citizens can have "X" about of people.
When the contact is up, they are out. But the can legally apply to be citizens. Or go in to the USA military.
You compared De Mori to Wilder you nutter. :lol1:
Yes, I did compare both old men neither of whom can fight. The gig is up for both of them.
The official score card of 120- 108 was spot on.
And with that I hope never to see Wilder in the ring again.
They fought two times so far, Torrez was 19 years old when they first fought (With Jalovov knocking out Torrez) and in the 2020 Olympics he had just turned 21 years old after a month when they fought in the rematch, Richard fared much better despite Jalovov with a professional with an 8-0 record.
He didn't win, but he has improved after turning pro.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ms80nCeFYds
Can he win now? Not sure, it's possibly, just hope they run it back as professionals.
So did Jalovov improve since they fought.
In his last fight when he faked a low blow and should've been counted out.
Look how high the belt line is. That's as clean a shot to the stomach as you'll see.

You don't know what you are talking about. The photo shows the blow was low and it a photo of an uppercut that landed even lower!
I know what I saw. It was a punch on the belt line that smashed Usyk's glass body that he clearly has.
Every time he gets even a glancing blow to the body he cries to the ref. Why do you think his training this camp has a lot more focus on strengthening his core for body shots? If dubois hit him low then his body isn't the problem right? He has nothing to worry about.
"It was an uppercut" - kind of. But it wasnt thrown at his chin, which creates a much steeper angle. It was thrown to the body which means it comes at a flatter angle, meaning in the picture the trajectory and angle of the arm as it lands is virtually identical to when it was thrown. unless he threw the uppercut from the floor then it won't have the trajectory to do what you claim happened. Basic science my friend.
It was to the body and Usyk couldn't handle it, not for the first time.
You're not a ref! Usyk trunks were not high and the blow was clearly outside of the rules! Look up what a low blow is.
You can argue that Usky is suspect to LEGAL body blows vs. a puncher which Fury is not. Dubois was a puncher that went low.
When did Usyk have an issue with taking a body shot as a pro??? Asking you but I doubt you will reply back to the question.
I think he CAN, but I don't think he WILL. He'll use his footwork and punching ability to outbox Fury. I can easily see Fury getting knocked down as he has a weak chin and frequently hits the canvas but I don't see a KO coming. It will be an obvious UD with no possibility of a corrupt decision.
I'm looking forward to this bout as I've booked flights and tickets. I just hope Fury doesn't go mental and quite prior to the fight happening.
The boxing powers of the sport, the men who run things at the WBC and the promoters are changing and Fury corruptness over the sport has also diminished. He was cut up in sparring and looked awful in his last fight barely winning a dicey decision over a nobody 0-0 nobody in boxing. He is just a name now and is a has - been.
The Saudi's have no allegiance to Fury and know his sand in the hourglass is just about up. Ie, he's not likely to get any gift decisions.
I think Usky will beat him badly. The skills and conditioning of the two men are very much in Usky's favor and Fury is no puncher! But Fury is known to Foul as he has done so and lost points in 5 separate fights. Which fighter can you name in the past or current that has done that?
Fury cheats when he needs to. It is no accident. I think the chances if Fury losing by DQ in this fight are higher than normal.
By the way I enjoy your posts.
If Fury can take Wilder's biggest shots. I know he can take Usyk best shots. The question is can Usyk take fury's shots.
1 ) Fury is not a hard puncher. Usyk has been by better.
2 ) Due to his Usyk skills, Fury wont land many land many or any chin checkers.
3. When was the last time Usyk was floored? It had to be sometime when he was and amateur! That was a long time ago...you tell me when.

Jalolov should focus on pro boxing. I think the guy can become a world champ in 2 years. His next fight should be a gatekeeper like Forrest, Rice, Franklin, Cusumano. Just keep him active.
I think he already beats many top 10 guys.
The Olympic gold pay him more money. That is why he is focusing on the Olympics for now. Jalolov said he will focus on his pro career after the Olympics.
He easily beat Torrez several times before.
That is what usually happens to these KO artists. It is logical to everybody that actually watches boxing.
Ali - Foreman situation over and over again. except Bivol is even much younger, not older like Ali was compared to Foreman.
Very aggressive guys usually force things to happens. they want to KO a better man which usually results in a KO loss for them.
Bivol's defense is the key, and his untested durability vs a puncher is a key.
Ali had both traits. Does Bivol?
AB is older but his stamina is 3x as good as Foreman was in the 70's. Bad analogy, everyone is entitled to one.
Sorry.
He is not fighting a 5'8" pumped up, t rex armed and PED fueled middle weight this fight.
UNLESS AB ages before our eyes when they meet, or Bivol boxes his best fight, I think AB ferocious attack will win the day. AB's skill level is very under rated.
