    Usyk is 1-0 with 10 KO's? Dude is a beast!!!!!

    But seriously. Going from fighting a champ to a journeyman to a prospect? Surely they can find someone better than a prospect

      usyk fights like he's a 4'11 straweight ukranian willie pep.



      his face doesnt match his fighting style.



      i was expecting conan the barbarian like style instead i saw a giant wanna be lomachenko.



      his hairstyle has a lot of potential too....

        Hunter has more pro fights than Usyk.

          C'mon man. Don't do this. You're smarter than that. The guy is a prospect. Quality not quantity.

            You mean he's fought weaker opposition? Obviously.

            But Hunter is a ranked contender with more fights than Usyk.

              I remember his dad Mike the bounty Hunter. He was an entertaining fighter. I never saw his son fight

                  He's a quality opponent. He was a standout amateur and Olympian, he's way better than somebody like Bellew who's a Champion. Being a prospect doesn't mean you can't fight, it's not always about the name.

                    I'm not expecting him to fight Glowacki or Gassiev on the undercard. Just saying maybe a contender instead of a prospect
