So hating on Usyk is the new wave huh?

[ShoulderRoll]

It's not opinion, it's simply not true. Usyk won every round and made his opponent quit. There was nothing to hate on

Robbie Barrett is another poster who seems to agree with ****EM's analysis. Is it hating or did they both just happen to observe the same flaw?



"I made a thread a few years ago saying Usyk is too easy to hit to become a top HW. Can't find it because of Boxingscenes crap search function though."

He is an AJ fanboy. Make of that what you will

One more for you.

The poster Mushroom gives Usyk credit for having freakish ability at cruiserweight. But he simply wasn't as impressed yesterday.


"He’s going to struggle in the division imo. He’s definitely lost some speed and movement he didn’t look nearly as freakish as he did at CW"

That's a fair post. That isn't hating. Saying stuff like "LMAO he is easy to hit, told you so!" Is simply not true and childish hate when the guy won every round, barely got hit and made his opponent quit. I personally thought he looked fine

[Dariusz]

I think it's perfectly fine when you consider someone like Usyk would be the best win on Wilders resume...

Did Breazeale deserve a shot? Nope. Did Stiverne deserve a shot in that rematch? Hell no. If these guys are getting title shots people should have no problem with Usyk getting one. They aren't bending the rules for anyone.

I don't care who is the best in Wilder's resume, in fact. His resume is very poor overall.

Neither Breazeale nor Stiverne deserved it, true. But in my world there is also no place for Usyk (or whomever else goes a category higher) having a title shot in his first fight in his new category.

Eh. It is what it is. There is too much fanboyism & haterism on this forum these days. I just put people like that on ignore cuz they offer nothing to me as far as intelligent boxing discussion goes.

And thats not to say there arent things to be critical of with Usyk or anyone else, but the blind hyping & sh^tting on of boxers is low level dumb sh^t.

[Split Decision]

dude shut up damn...you are on here crying about something every damn day

this is a bit rich coming from u lol

[Marchegiano]

Maybe it's because y'all hype them into a loss? Maybe Usyk's really on the Krusher-3G path and when he hits his analog for Canelo-Ward he'll crumble?

[JakeTheBoxer]

Always the same ****. They say GGG is bad and Canelo is a superstar boxer because he barely beat GGG ( who is bad, lol.).

Now they are hyping Kovalev because he fights Canelo next.

If Canelo beats Kovalev ( not likely), they will keep saying Kovalev sux.

Golovkin is old, Kovalev is old...so you guys are looking for a new Soviet to hate on because he threatens your favourite fighters?

How pathetic. Usyk looked the same as he always did. Have you guys actually seen any of Usyk's fights?
He schools and outboxes his opponents when he wants to and sometimes goes for the KO. That's exactly what he did in this fight. The only difference is that he is a bit more conservative with his punches now and defensively orientated. He went for the KO in the last round and made his opponent quit in the corner. He walked a man down who was about 30lbs bigger to me. I saw nothing you could hate on.

So why is there this new found hate? I've seen idiots say he is clout chasing Wilder when Usyk has a way better resume than him. Usyk has proven he wants to fight the best and that's why he is calling out Wilder, he wants to become world champion at Heavyweight and prove people wrong. Don't forget he won every belt at Cruiserweight in his opponents backyard.

I think it's simply because of fear. People, especially Wilder fans, are afraid for him. They are afraid he might school Wilder for 12 rounds or beat Joshua/Ruiz. So they try to downplay him like he is not a threat, even when he does everything right in his Heavyweight debut.
These guys are not boxing fans, they are groupies. Y'all make me sick.

Honestly there is always hate, but there is also constructive criticism...I was a little bit underwhelmed with his performance, but I honestly never expected him to be the top dog at heavyweight, for me even before the fight I expected him to land somewhere around Parker, Whyte level. This fight somewhat confirmed that opinion to me, but at the same time let's see how he progresses. There is no need to overreact to one performance, but at the same time, if you are objective...there are definitely some weaknesses in his performance, and they were there against Bellew also, I think these can cause him problems as he steps up.

He def has some problems to overcome in this division, namely his ability to close distance, and his power. At cruiserweight, they couldn't stand in front of him or continuously outbox him, I think most of the top guys at heavyweight will be able to stand in front of him, someone like Ruiz will be able to soak it up, fire back and has a great engine too , will Usyk be able to step round him and score without getting clipped? Fight under pressure from a bigger man? His problem against Fury and Joshua is def the fact those guys can box, are strong, and athletic. With Wilder it's about closing the distance and avoiding the right hand...one hell of a task.

I think what you need to do is ignore the hate and separate that from the posters who are offering constructive criticism
