    If he is promoted well, Usyk is too much of a character to not blow up like G did, and he's such a treat to watch.


    But he isn't really being promoted well. Not over here at least.

      He’s not much for personality imo

      He comes across as arrogant not just confident. Foreign lads like manny appeal to the masses on a global scale because he is humble. Unless Usyk is going down the Floyd I’ll make everyone hate me to draw full houses path

        You must be talking about a different Usyk than everyone else.

              I'm not the one who mentioned Pulev.

                There are no boxing fans anywhere who don't know who Usyk is.

                    I can understand why Parker and his management are making the case, I mean it's their job to but I think 50/50 is fair. Uysk is the rising star, Parker has proven he can sell PPV in both NZ and the UK. I'm not sure what the Bellew / Uysk numbers were, but pretty good i'd imagine.

                    I don't really enjoy watching Parker fight all that much, he tends to become quite negative when he steps up in class. His fight with Takam was his best as far as i'm concerned! I'd prefer this newly re-born Chisora vs Uysk.

                    Coincidentally I met both at the Saudi airport (I say met, I said hi and asked for a picture lols) and Uysk was so much bigger than Chisora, I mean I was really surprised. You hear so many times how Uysk is such a small HW, but rarely hear the same said about Chisora. I saw these guys 6 ft from each other and Uysk looked much larger, both in height and mass.
