The Usyk hype as bad as the Loma hype?

... Yep, right... Loma was also after Canelo at 155...

I think the hype was over the top before last night, for me there should have been a bit of a reality check as Bellew was legit outboxing Usyk in some rounds.

As far as heavyweight goes, i think there are as many people dismissing Usyk as backing him. Let's see his first couple of fights there before judging him.

If you pushed me I would say he'll be a player, a good addition but I think he'll fall short against the top guys. If you look at his style and size, I don't think it will translate into success against those guys. Could see him potentially beating a Povetkin, Parker, Whyte, and having success but as a fighter who's more comfortable on the back foot and giving away a lot of natural size isn't normally a good situation.

Because it's a boxing forum and people get excited after an emphatic win like last night.

I have NOT ONCE heard or seen someone matching up loma against spence....NOT ONCE. On the contrary i do remember MANY posters claiming rigo was gonna outbox loma and school him wit dem cuban skillz tho LMFAO

You're exactly right. Any time europeans crack the P4P list a certain demographic immediately feels threatened by it .

Thats because it NEVER happend. He's pulling ***** out of his assss. Loma has never been matched with a welter. Manny vs Loma has been floated around but would have been at 140.

It goes both ways though, i dont disagree with what you are saying but then theres the other side to it too.
