    Meet Asaru Kem Wer - which literally translates as: Osiris the Great Black.

    Osiris is one of the chief deities of Dynastic Egypt and he is also considered their Patriarch. He is of Nubian origin.

    Now run along and educate yourself on the subject matter before opening your piehole...

      Yes Usyk is far better than Jirov no doubt. I'm getting ya.

        It's the weird circular logic people have with Toney. Jirov must be good because Toney is the ultimate fantasy fighter and only someone great could possibly make for such a great fight with a great fighter like James Toney.

        Except for all those C level fighters who arguably beat him.

          There is no appreciable difference between Dynastic Egyptian and Nubian culture.

          Dynastic Egypt began over 5000 years ago. What does Africa's colonization have to do with the subject @ hand?
          - -Was U colonized or colorized?

          Or perhaps just an inconvenient colon disorder?

            usyk doesnt have elite speed or power. he has good footwork and conditioning so i can see why people are saying he might win. if usyk were to win it would be on points from a split decision. his only chance is to stay on his bike and jab the **** out of toney staying on the outside. even then toney would probably still win lol

              How's that because he beat Rydell Booker? Hahahahaha

              Usyk is a stylistic nightmare for Toney, he would be outboxed with ease and lose a lopsided decision.

              Anyone with any kind of movement and skills is going to trouble Toney and and Usyk has both in abundance.

                The Tiberi fight triggered government investigations into boxing. You can pretend that robbery was thrown around loosely but it is absolutely one of the most well known robberies in boxing.

                And you know what, even if you want to pretend it wasn't a robbery, it was still a fight that a LOT of people had Tiberi winning. You're seriously going to pretend Toney couldn't possibly lose at cruiserweight or heavyweight to a fighter like Usyk when he was in hugely debatable fights with WORSE fighters in his prime?

                My argument sounds like I'm on crystal meth when all I'm doing is pointing out the Usyk or worse level fighters that Toney couldn't beat clearly and many people had him losing to? What? Just repeating a dumb insult doesn't make it any better or make you sound any more right. Especially when you are offering literally no dissenting opinion here about these fights.

                I'm doubting you've even seen Toney fight Tiberi or Johnson or any of these guys, tbh.
                No one could even argue that Toney beat Tiberi. It's not possible to argue that. He lost, CLEARLY.

                Most people haven't seen those fights though you're right, or flat out pretend they didn't happen.

                Very similar thing with Chris Eubank too and all his terrible performances against poor opposition. Not on the level of the way Toney is overrated though.

                I mean, the way Reggie Johnson totally schooled him for the first 5 rounds is damn near embarrassing.

                  Roy Jones won every second of every round and it looked like Toney had never even boxed before yet Toney fans swear that in a fantasy fight Toney knocks him out

                  It's a hilarious level of denial.

                    didn't Tiberi straight up quit boxing after the robbery?
