    It's a shame Men like Usyk are so rare in boxing.

    This guy is a role model that anyone can look up to

    He is kind, polite, never insults anyone in fact he tries to build people up, even his rivals who he offers a hand to after he beats them
    ​​​​​​
    Not afraid to fight anyone, not afraid to lose. All he cares about is testing himself to the limit and giving his all.

    The sport is full of primadonnas and this toxic "protect the 0" culture that has been left on the sport by Floyd Mayweather has hurt it ever since.

    The funniest thing about Usyk, even though he's undefeated, I don't think he would even care if he did lose a fight. As long as he knew he gave it his all I don't think he'd waste a minute on regret.

    That's a real man right there, if only there was more like him. Maybe Inoue is the only guy I can think of who's a similar warrior like that.

    There are NONE from western nations.

    Before the Fury fight there was a short clip of him being introduced to Holyfield.

    After Holyfield walked away, Usyk turned and did a little fist pump to himself and said, "YES!"

    It was pretty obvious that Usyk is a huge boxing fan and he had the same reaction to meeting one of his idols that you might expect from any of us "normies" off the street. Really cool to see.

          Unfortunately if he retires undefeated,there's going to be some people that will accuse him of avoiding some random up and coming heavyweight. If he loses before retirement, those same people will claim that he was exposed/ never that good to begin with. He beat Josh twice,and people cried that josh was never the same after the Ruiz fight. He just beat fury,and people are crying that the wilder fights ruined him. If he beats Hrgovic,I wonder what the excuses will be.

            Role model? Where was his integrity in the dubois fight? He acted like he was hit low. He basically got ko'ed from that body shot and couldn't recover in time, and was allowed to recover for a long a$$ time by the overprotective ref.

                  Just because he fights everyone doesn't mean he isn't afraid to lose. Mike Tyson fought everyone and was the baddest man on Earth when he entered the ring, but he readily admits that he is terrified of losing and being embarrassed before every single fight. It is natural to be fearful, but what sets bad men like Iron Mike and Usyk apart is that they rip the heart out of fear the moment the moment they march toward the ring.
