    I have nothing against Usyk or Chisora but Usyk should have outlanded Chisora in all 12 rounds.

    You only have to look how easily Chisora connected in the early stages to see how Usyk has struggled to adjust to the HW weight.

      So what you are saying is that if someone likes AJ, they aren't an 'actual boxing fan'.

      What that actually says is 'You hate Joshua and cannot stand seeing him succeed'.

        The second reason seems the reason you feel usyk would win as opposed to why you'd root him

          do you know what the word “most” means? It doesn’t account for 100% of the population. Stop being so sensitive.

            I like both Usyk and Joshua. Whoever fights better on the night deserves it.

            One things is for sure: if Joshua blast Usyk out of there, Bob will never mention anything about wanting Usyk to win. He'll say Joshua was always going to win because he is so much bigger.

              I'd prefer to hear an explanation from Arum about how his Pulev prediction was so fucking far off the mark.

                Fury is about as much of a straight talker as Arum . . . .

                  Arum said nothing that Earth bending here. Usyk is a fun, genuine guy he has gotten to know through Lomachenko and he is cheering for him.

                  How is that really a big deal?

                      How did you come to the conclusion on "Most"?

                      What he said is true as well. But please continue to make a fool out of yourself. You're good at that.

                      People who aren't spiteful and resentful don't usually want to see a real fighter who is willing to get into a ring with anyone and is a decent human being lose. We'll leave that to you lot, who want ALL of our fighters to lose. Like always. Insecurity will do that to you. Like a fat plumper seeing a pretty girl walk by. You're a plastic from the movie Mean Girls.
