Comments Thread For: The Beltline: The most interesting Oleksandr Usyk fight being discussed is the one that cannot happen

[TMLT87]

Usyk didn't beat EVERY heavyweight around him, just the over-hyped British ones their promoters lined up for him.

He didn't beat Wilder, Zhang, Parker or Kabayel.

Notice the pattern there ? They aren't flawed and fragile U.K bums!

I get that Great Britain doesnt have a heavyweight champ or a legit contender now, but theres no need to shït on others from elsewhere that do.

You have a borderline obsessive problem with UK boxing and seemingly the UK in general dont you? where are you from?

I dont even like the fact Usyk has fought solely Brits either, but Parker has lost to multiple "fragile UK bums" including two that Usyk has beaten (albeit one in the ammys) and Wilder was never even legitimately in the discussion to face Usyk considering he got the **** kicked out of him repeatedly by another UK bum who Usyk beat. Zhangs window of importance was very short too.

I was always a Roy Jones fan. And his enormous ego is what probably propelled him to such great heights. But him winning a heavyweight belt was quite calculated. He chose Ruiz for his limitations such as lack of ring IQ, lack of adaptability, and only mediocre power. You didn't see him challenging Lennox Lewis! And this was a one-off at heavyweight. Cruiser was pretty barren at that time, so there was no money or prestige other than another division belt. Jones' reign at light-heavy is also very questionable. He fought some very bottom tier fighters in defense of his belts(s). In fact, one was a full-time postman....I believe Usyk has always been the type of fighter that would be kryptonite for Jones. Extremely tough, excellent technical boxing abilities, good power, and off the charts ring IQ. Once Jones realized that he could not baffle Usyk with his awkward bursts of punches, he would shell up on the ropes and get pounded. Usyk would have knocked Jones out somewhere around 8th round. Love Jones, but Usyk is a step to far. Ike out.....

Wilder washed. Parker stinks out the place. Zhang old af and over hyped. Kabayel should maybe get the shot

Is itauma really fighting whyte? If so that's finally a stepup for him.

Kabayel and parker are the two I'd like to see against usyk. After that, in 1.5 year, usyk v itauma is U is still fighting and itauma is still unbeaten

Whyte is washed.

Mike Tyson beat the top ten heavyweights of his time. Usyk came to the party late, came to the division not long ago.
But if he can beat anyone of note in the top ten, do that.....parker, kabayel, ajagba and thats about it.
I was going to say Fabio Wardley but maybe doesn't need another brit

K then. Another yankee doodle dumbass butthurt about the lack of stateside contenders and haven't had a champ to serenade since the one hit wonder windmill got blown away.

So you're not from the UK and you're not from the US, what boxing hotbed full of elite HWs are you from exactly to be talking all this ****?

Living the dream in Aotearoa/New Zealand by way of Samoa.

Ancestral homelands of David Tua, Joseph Parker and Jai Opetaia.

Them uso's let their world class fists do the talking. Me, I'm a world class shït talker...CHEEEHOOO!!!

So you're from a country that has less than 100 active pro boxers and one top 10 level guy across all weight classes and you're talking this level of shyt?

[TheProudLunatic]

He wants to be as great as Ali he needs to best more heavyweights. Best ajit, parker, ajagba,. The more you best the more chance people will say h2h usyk beats Ali h2h.

Piling trash on top of trash

Ringo can level up even more, but he's on an enforced break for a month...lol

It's not about the country. It's about the root ethnicity and culture. Parker and Opetaia are all about Samoa 4 life!!!

Not bad for a tiny Pasifikan island.
