Comments Thread For: Usyk: I Don't Brag And Make Big Speeches, Just Work Hard In Training Camp

CLASSIC MATCH-UP: Spoilt, Overrated, Loudmouth Poser VS. Fiercely Dedicated, Underrated, Man of Few Words

Looking forward to seeing Joshua trying to bully Usyk and getting timed on the way in.

I take your point, but is Joshua really spoilt? Doesn’t seem it. Not even much of a loudmouth by the standards of the proper motormouths. Plus, he has no character, but you didn’t mention that bit…

If Ukraine and Russia were the same countries 30 years ago, you are going to have to explain to me how they are not blood relatives? They are literally separated by 1-2 generations. This would literally be the North and the South at war in the USA. Already had the war.

See what you’re saying, but geopolitically, they’re different countries now. Regardless of what went before.

By your logic, a war between the UK and the Republic of Ireland, or India and Pakistan, would be a civil war.

I’ve noticed he’s been treated as if he’s playing second fiddle while Olawufemi is still being treated as if he’s the champion. Really hoping the Ukrainian stylist does a number on him. Man deserves much more respect than he’s been given as the unified heavyweight champion

it is because Usyk is white

If we’re comparing AJ to Broner, Khan, Teofimo, Rolly Romero or the Charlo brothers…he isn’t a loudmouth of that variety. He’s more annoying. Because instead of just firing PPV hype-building fluff, he mouths off with these silly pseudo-psychological justifications for his repeatedly lackluster performances. As for “spoilt”…he is the boxing world’s Lewis Hamilton, without all the titles behind his name (or the raw talent).

Oh, in that sense, yeah. Lacks the wit, intelligence and charisma to fire off his quasi-philosophy. Weird and cringeworthy listening to him.

Missus used to fancy him until I forced her to sit down to watch a post-fight interview one day.

Don’t tell him I said any of this, though
