The Usyk hype as bad as the Loma hype?

    Yeah, Usyk lost some rounds to Bellew but trying to translate that into "actually Usyk isn't good" is the king of weak takes. I know Bellew looks like a bigger version of Karl Pilkington with a beard and sounds thick but he's actually a pretty crafty and decent boxer with a solid record and a lot of experience, and at the end of the day despite a shaky start the fight still ended with Bellew slumped over the ropes after a period of complete control over the fight by Usyk. The guy surely has to have 2018 Fighter of the Year nailed on. Like others have said, CW turned out to be a pretty strong division and Usyk completely unified it. Anyone who totally unifies a division has major P4P credentials imo. This is why I want there to be regular WBSS tournaments for every division if possible, its the best mechanism we currently have for figuring out the true elite fighters are in this era of ****** numbers of belts.

      I'm hoping any hype is tripled so he can soar in popularity and we get to see more of him. I could watch him in a 24 hour staring contest and still be entertained.

        I think there are a lot of closet homøsexual men on this site. It's the only explanation that makes sense.

        Case in point below.

            Oh please, region, we had all the rights to speak like that, we were upset, it was a rigged fight after all.

                And yet you can't provide one.

                      LOL! Like it isn't a two way street dude. I don't give an f about the race of guys. But I see this crap going on all over and actually it isn't a two way street, it is coming from all directions. Racial and ethnic BS.

                      If you don't think Loma and Usyk aren't two of the best P4P boxers in the game right now you either don't know boxing or you got another agenda.
