hes a true warrior. if he does a real number on gassiev, theres an argument for him being p4p number 1. its gonna be a tough fight though. winner is p4p top 5 minimum in my eyes.
Has there ever been a Road Warrior like Usyk?

A true world champion. Others worth mentioning is Carlos Monzon, Glen Johnson, Mikkel Kessler, Wlad Klitschko.Comment

This is what you have to do when you are not a huge draw and come from a country where you will not make a great living as a pro boxer. Usyk deserves credit.
If he beats Gassiev and then Ledbedev(who Gassiev already beat) he would have defeated all the other top 5 guys in the division.
Definitely make a case for him being p4p #1.Comment

Surprising for me actually. I think he doesn't like the whole Russia-Ukraine situation and it seeps into him to made this decision.Usyk Rejects The Idea of Facing Gassiev in Russia

Yeah but if he had a home country where he could fight and make money I don’t think he would be the road warrior he has to be to make the most money.
The klits made their money in Germany because they had to fight somewhere other than the UkraineComment
