Why every time a euro fighter wins euro fans think he’s the greatest thing since...

[BoxingIsGreat]

Did you watch the fight today? Have you seen the guy fight at all? There is little question this guy is hell of a good fighter and it isn't just like he started being excellent today.

If anything he has been underrated.

The bold is the truth.

[Prince Madison]

he holds all 4 belts in less than 15 fights and looked great in the process of doing it? and to have him 8-10 in p4p list is a joke, let me guess youve got him behind charlos in the p4p list because they are 'hungry young lions'

[BoxingIsGreat]

Yeah, such undeserving hype for Usyk. what a joke.

He's being hyped because his accomplishment. Before, people were saying he possibly deserved a P4P top 10 spot around the back end. After his dominate win over Gassiev, and with him becoming an undisputed champion, he deservedly earned a top 5 spot.

If you call this unfounded hype, you're being an ignorant moron.


Let's see, Usyk:
-Undisputed champion in 15 fights
-Standout amateur career. Olympic and World Gold medalist @ Heavyweight


Defeated Murat Gassiev (26-0 at the time):
-Stopped undefeated Yunier Dorticos (22-0)
-Easily stopped Krzysztof Wlodarczyk (who was a veteran and still a former world champion)
-Close win over Denis Lebedev (whom I'm pretty sure was a unified champion at one point)

Defeated Mairis Briedis (23-0 at the time):
-Wins over Marco Huck & Mike Perez
-Manuel Charr (who he stopped at heavyweight with a significant weight disadvantage)

Defeated Marco Huck (40-4 at the time):
-Veteran world champion
-Attempted to win a heavyweight title but lost in a close fight against Povetkin (who was probably the #2-3 heavyweight at the time)

Defeated Glowacki (26-0 at the time) who:
-Veteran world champion with wins over Marco Huck and Steve Cunningham.

Other wins:
-Prospect Michael Hunter who seemed to have some backing as a possibly good fighter. Still seems decent, anyways.

Solid post. Great resume.

Sliced bread. Lol

Seriously these newbs do it every time now therr doing it with Usyk.

You make a fair point but I disagree strongly about Usyk being a hype job.

Usyk is one of the best, if not the best, in the world right now. He a great boxer puncher with skills that IMO would cause a problem for anyone at or above his weight.

I take it on a case by case basis. Just be sure to separate the posters that are true boxing fans and like these guys because they are great boxers from the agenda driven posters who prematurely slurp these guys because they are non American and/or white.

Remember we watched their great amateur careers as well.

[Shrap]

First it was GG then Kov then Loma and now Usyk. The TS has a point. But ill say this. Most fans do vote for their favorite fighter...but I don't remember everyone universally saying that Bud, Roman G, Floyd or Ward were pfp best lol... Get the strap. Lol, kidding.

GGG and Kovalev are nowhere near Loma and Usyk in terms of achievements and skills. They've been overhyped for sure.

Usyk, however, has been outstanding in his 15 pro fights, his amateur career and his olympic gold. He has accomplished a crazy amount in a short period and didn't get much recognition until recently. Definitely deserving of some serious hype.
