How much time does Usyk have left being the top gun?

[JOITATS]

Usyk knows he's slipping, otherwise he wouldn't been so inactive and unwilling to fight top level guys.

Imho, he has a few years left if he wants. Hes never taken damage, his ring iq is top notch and although wardley and itauma are promising, they get beat up if they fight him

Can you believe Moses Itauma said he has a greater skillset and boxing IQ than Usyk?

The man is a boxing newbie. He is up against a boxing master. Outside of the proverbial pucher chance ( Usyk has a very good chin by the way, mitigating it ) he has next to none.

Having beaten the three highest ranked contenders in Fury, Joshua, and Dubois, all that left was Kabel or maybe an easy fight vs the hyped and exposed Wilder.

Perhaps Hrgovic though I doubt he will go there.

Rico cleared former Soviet countries in kickboxing for many years, beats Hrgovic handily in a shootout as Hrgo folded against Dubois last time, Rico got on top of all those type of fights, difference in mental game. Mairis Breidis was brought up as a kickboxer that later turned to boxing and it was Usyk's toughest fight, Klitschko's were kickboxers as well alongside their boxing. Kickboxers train on sustained power endurance as there is a maximum of 5 rounds of explosive action and there is no running, the particular type of game Breidis and Klitschko's were also good at.

No, he really said it, he really surprised me thinking that

I think usyk will fight twice this year then retire, it's not just the fights it's the intense training camps. He also had 350 amateur fights. He could possibly do 2 more next year but it's a risk

Im a fan so hope he gets out before he gets old over night.

I get the comparison but all those guys committed to the sport way younger in life and spent many years boxing before fighting the world number 1. Rico is 37

With the war Ukraine war continuing, usyk might continue a little longer
