You gotta respect a fool who is down for a cause… especially if it’s a losing cause

This is the 21st century which is a technological strategic wars , you can only invade the U.S if you have a bigger army or enough Allie’s . Russia and China have no chance invading us head on . Now we have Germany who Russia was counting on . They’ve lost the plot , only way we lose being a super power is long distance attacks and or even a bio chemical one or some crazy cyber viruses destabilize our economy. Those are all unlikely as the majority of the world’s countries are United with us and without us the Russians would be unstoppable.

China have been ****ing you guys up the ass for 20 years and YOU are funding their rise to a superpower while ruining your own countries future in the process.

It's not gonna happen in the next 5-10 years, but within the next 20 they are gonna be a real problem, and because of American corporate greed will overtake you as the number 1 power int he world with no fighting taking place.

Extra tough for Usyk as a native Crimean - dude's always been very careful about how he speaks on Russian / Ukrainian relations... On the one hand clearly passionate about his Ukrainian cultural identity (as evidenced by the iconic 'chub' haircut he sported at the olympics) but also outspoken on his beliefs in slavic unity and has in the past spoken about the dangers of the extreme Nationalist elements in Ukraine.

Whatever though, nothing but respect for Usyk for standing with his countrymen in their hour of need.


перемога України

Couldnt agree more, although I think different about China, I think they not that close as they would've like to be

Question really is who does the world prefer to be a superpower, China or the USA? Not a hard question to answer.

Well if you consider you and Russians brother then why are you fighting them ? Should be rejoining the Soviet Union instead of fighting it. This war is all the fault of Zelesky

Join the Soviet Union? Huh? You must be looking at old maps and reading old newspapers. The Soviet Union collapsed more than 30 years ago. You do know how to read...right?

Not sure if you're being serious or not.

The truth is, they're there to do a job, but that job isn't taking up arms. It's to appear in photos and convince the nation to take up arms.

Celebrities don't fight in wars. Putting one guy into war would be a complete waste considering the impact they can have.

"Celebrities don't fight in wars" That couldn't be further from the truth. Look at how many A-list actors, celebrities, athletes, authors, and other celebrities who experienced combat. These include Jimmy Stewart who flew combat missions over Normandy and rose to the rank of Brigadier General, James Dohan, Mel Brooks, Clark Gable, Ted Williams (fighter pilot WWII and Korea), Oliver Stone, George Orwell, Roald Dahl, and too many others to mention.

All who rightly admire Usyk, Lomachenko, Postol and others for returning to Ukraine to fight the invaders, do what you can to help as well. If you can make contributions to the Ukrainian war effort or to charities assisting Ukrainian civilians, please do so. If you are in a position to do so, write to your political representatives to urge them to advocate for your government to send more assistance to Ukraine and further sanction Russia.

I'm planning to petition the WBA,WBC, IBF and IBO to bar Russian fighters from their rankings and ban them from competing for their titles. Perhaps for AIBA and The Ring as well. It'd be a small thing but a meaningful gesture for the boxing fraternity to make. I'd encourage everyone else on here to consider doing the same.
