    Help me appreciate Usyk

    So let me preface my comments with this. I've only seen the Bellew fight, and his first fight at HW. I hear people saying that he's had one of the best Cruiserweight runs ever, and that he'll be a problem at HW. I saw him struggle with Bellew, despite the biased commentary imo..
    Therefore, guys like Fury, Joshua, I don't see him faring well against them...

    Don't take this as hate, I just wanna be recommended a fight or maybe something I'm missing that can help me see it...

    He copies that bum Loma, so I don't know what you can say about him positive man. I did see him fight against that Gassev dude or whatever the fook his name is, and all I saw him doing was trying to do some juking tap dancing type chit and Gassev was just doing basic boxing chit 1,2, hooks and the like. And Usyk was getting tagged hard; I did not see nothing that was impressive from Usyk. Dude looks like somebody who should be in a psych ward or some chit man, like if that nibba showed up in some street corner I would have to roll up on usyk man. He's just one of those white bois you have to roll up on and steal chit from.

        Usyk had one hell of a cruiserweight run. He unified the title completely (WBA, WBO, WBC, IBF) which has technically never been done before with all four recognized titles and not since Evander Holyfield who unified the three recognized at the time (WBA/WBC/IBF) and that was thirty years ago.

        He beat unbeaten WBO champion Glowacki by decision very decisively over twelve rounds and took the title in Glowacki's backyard of Poland.
        Then he defended against then-unbeaten prospect Micheal Hunter in the United States and beat him on a decision but had the guy out in the twelfth and it could have and probably should have been stopped. Again, he beats an unbeaten fighter in their home country.
        Then he travels to Germany and beats former longtime-reigning cruiser champ Marco Huck and stops him in ten and does so in Huck's backyard of Germany. Once again, Usyk invades the opponent's country and beats them soundly.
        Then he faces unbeaten Latvian WBC champ Mairis Breidis and beats him by close decision in a very competitive fight in Latvia. Again, he beats an unbeaten in the unbeaten's backyard and now has the WBC and WBO titles.
        Then he travels to Russia where he soundly puts a clinic on Gassiev and picks up the WBA and IBF titles. Gassiev also was unbeaten and Russia is his home country. Yet again, Usyk beats an unbeaten on his home turf.
        Then he takes on former champ Bellew and stops him and again, it's in Bellew's backyard.
        Now that's one hell of a run and I think it's the best run I've seen in recent years.
        The Whitherspoon fight was pretty lame but hey, it's just a start. I'd love to see Usyk face one of the better big boys and I have little doubt of that happening. Here are some highlights as well...

                Great post. I agree. Didn't read much of it.

                    'he copies loma'
                    yet he fights nothing like loma. Has a stand out personality that's nothing like loma, just happens to be ukranian.
