Comments Thread For: Generational great Oleksandr Usyk drops and stops Daniel Dubois again

[Coverdale]

There were people in the comment sections calling for the DuBois KO. Not just respecting it could happen... Would happen. Just own it people. I own all my stoopid, wrong picks. Please just own all yours.

Usyk is just an All Time Great. Please do not fight Fury again....

Agreed. I would be concerned about the judges giving too much sympathy to Fury a third time around, especially if the fight happened in the UK.

Urgh, just don't watch and go away

Just got to learn to ignore people like Thatmanox. The internet has created many benefits, but it also amplifies the voices of losers who have achieved nothing in their lives and want to feel better by bringing others down. So boring.

Olympic gold.
Undisputed at Cruiserweight and winner of the Muhammad Ali trophy of the super series tournament.
Undisputed at heavyweight x 2 having beat 2 of the great 3 once spoken of as the greats of this era.
How many world title fights now in total? I don't have energy to check.
World class movement and engine, excellent demand of the boxing basics and a relentless will to win every single fight.

Not that long ago people reacted with x and D when Usyk corrected the interviewer that his goal is not being simply HW champion, but an undisputed one. This was after the Witherspoon fight when most people were arguing who beats of on the AJ-Tipsy King-Wilder axel. Those people used names like "Usuck, Ustiff" etc and called him midget. Well well well, here we are half a decade later and Usyk is the one who is the best of them all. It seemed like a tall order with the weight and size disadvantage and lack of KO power but Usyk is the proof that heart is the most important for a champion.

Hats off to Usyk. A wonderful solid performance again beating the opponent in each area of boxing and finally introducing him to Ivan. Ivan really seemed to like Dubois.

A funny guy, respectful, humble, hardworking and generous. Beats me how some people don't like him. I guess folks want to see themselves in their idols and therefore toxic low iq bums always support guys like Twerking Deontay and The Tipsy King and these kinda folks hate someone like Usyk who makes them look as bad as they really are.

Anyway, Usyk is the king, like it or not. Slava Ukraini!

Easy cash would be the only reason for Usyk to fight on, nothing left to prove. The guy is a legend and top 3 of all time greats.

On strength of resume

• Quality of opposition faced.
• Wins against quality opposition.
• The manner of victory.
• Legacy/longevity at or near the top of the division.
• Skillset, or the "eye test" as many put it.
• Losses - who they were against, how they happened and when they happened.

You really are an unaccomplished loser aren’t you? From my experience those who bring up being unaccomplished, are those who’ve never played any sport at a high level in their lives, or losers who’s parents told them they’re special to save them from the embarrassment. Even more embarrassing you had to create a thread to try to cry about it. Weird energy right there. My bet is you wrote these comments and made the thread from your local Golden Corral.

Idk what’s worse dudes d riding Usyk when he was down on rounds, and claiming he’s the the generational best. Or those saying it was a vicious ko punch, when it was a light clubbing shot that should’ve of knocked any top heavyweight out.

I'm presuming you weren't impressed with that performance (or his career in general). May I ask which recent fighter would meet your criteria as a generational talent? Or which heavyweights from 1960 - 1995 that you would rank higher than Usyk?

And once he retires, the HW div will be a complete laughingstock.
Andy Ruiz might be the best man left

Or sadly, the mental basket case cabinet of steroids named Jarrod baby brains Miller who beat Ruiz.

I'm here to eat my CROW , and plenty of it. I knew from the first two minutes of round one that we were doomed. Daniel was giving too much respect and trying to box with Usyk. He had to do to him what he did to Joshua and impose his size and strength on him. I was yelling instructions thru the television but Daniel wasn't listening to me at all.
I have to give Usyk his props , he really is that all time great that people have been saying he is. I didn't believe it until last night , now I do. Usyk really is " that guy". He didn't just outbox Dubois , he beat him up. It's hard to believe that the guy is 38. I don't know what is next for him , I was thinking that he would retire after the fight but he sure doesn't need to , he's not in danger of losing to father time in the foreseeable future.

He's lived the life of an athlete. His comment about being disciplined rather than motivated, with the latter being temporary, was interesting to me. Doing the right things consistently on top of his physical gifts is what sets him apart. We literally saw Fury fall out of a bar in the interim between their two fights.

A 1 off might be worthy in the shlt era
