The Usyk hype as bad as the Loma hype?

    Loma is an all time great amateur. He’s not even a top 1000 all time great pro though yet. Looks incredibly good, wish he would have turned pro earlier. Let’s see what he does the next 5 years.
    agreed i cant say hes THAT low on the totem pole tho but 12 fights will NEVER get you to that stature to me

      The worse it the excuses after with Walters and Rigo saying he was too small or Walters had a long lay off but they knew that before the fight even started and still picked them. They just hate Loma its as simple as that.

        So you don't have a source and just make it up?
        Good to know.

          Don't all Mayweather fans say he loses early rounds to read his opponents.
          Well....

            How is the forum not a source for judging hype? It's the perfect source.

              I don't believe Mayweather has ever been behind on the cards after 7 rounds against a Bellew level fighter.

                What more can Usyk do to earn his hype?

                Beat an undefeated champ in his back yard? Check

                Unify vs another undefeated champ in his backyard? Check

                Unify again vs another 2 belt champion, who’s undefeated, for all the belts... oh yeah, in his backyard as well? Check

                Fight and beat other good contenders aswell, several of them in their backyards? Check

                Do all that in 16 fights and most of it in the last couple years? Check

                Do all that in one of the deepest and most competitive divisions in boxing? Check

                Seriously. If anyone deserves the hype, it’s Oleksandr Usyk. People don’t understand what they are watching.

                      Really what's it matter what he was down when it sounds like Usyk had a game plan and it came of 100%
                      Much like Mayweather/McGregor yer??
