  • The ONLY problem with Usyk

    No knockouts.

    He's a purists dream, and as much as we can all appreciate the skill, I honestly don't think he has any fights that in years to come I will be itching to go back and rewatch.

    The fights are all really similar, high paced chess matches but for pure entertainment value? It's not really there and I truly believe that's why he's always been "the opponent"

    He knocked out Daniel Dubois, Tony Bellew, Marco Huck, and Thabiso Mchunu.

      Think he is entertaining even if he doesn't get the finish, at least he is willing to press the action than the monotonous Dmitry Bivol.

      Though, I can't be the only one who thinks Usyk intentionally wears high trunks because he doesn't like getting touched to the body, his recent bout was an exception.

      Fury has the same issue.

        purists dream? I think his busy hopping around style is pretty ugly and not purist boxing. I personally think he is boring. He doesn't sit down on punches and just hops around.

          The sport owes a tremendous debt to Usyk for tanking any chance this ****head had of being held alongside the all-time greats. Walked in, snatched his entire family legacy and took it back to Ukraine with him. God bless.

            Usyk always wears his trunks at regulation height, so that you can see his belly button when he stands straight and raises his arms.

              I love watching Usyk fight. The guy is poetry in motion, the sweet science personified.

                  Dubois quit because he got knackered, he wasn't knocked out

                  The others I grant you, they were at cruiser and not memorable fights to me.

                  It's the one thing Usyk lacks is a bit of pop at top end
