Comments Thread For: Nelson: If Bellew Beats Usyk - Biggest Upset EVER By British Boxer

[Szef]

Respective points in there careers.

Fury was an unknown quantity stepping up to fight an ATG who had been in steady decline for a while.

Look at the jennings fight for evidence.

Bellew is someome who won a vacant title, lost both times he ever stepped up to fight for legitimate titles and is at the end of his career.

Hes also fighting someone who could potentially be very special. Someone who has already shadowed anything bellew done inside 15 fights. Someone who is in there physical prime.

This would be monumental if he could somehow pull it off. But i give him the same sort of chance i gave ricky burns of beating terrence crawford.

Well if Bellew pulls this off it would mean Usyk wasn't that special, sorry.

Usyk has only had 15 pro fights. He's done more than 99.9% of other things fighters who've had only 15 fights but still, beating him isn't more impressive than than beating a undefeated in 10 years, basically undisputed HW champion of the world imo.

Im as big of a fan of wladimir as there has ever been, but he was nearing the end when fury/aj caught him.

Irregardless of what happens tonight, uysk is special.

335-15 with european, world and olympic gold and becoming the first man at cruiser (only 4th person overall) to hold all 4 titles in a division.

Not winning them all in 1 fight but collecting them on the road against undefeated fighters.

I dont know your defnition of special but thats mine.
