    Over 2 weeks, 10 weight classes and 3 hours broadcasts with like 15 fights per. Not really you could get 30 posts in a typical RBR thread on a Saturday card.

    Go easy he didn't know that, keep in mind he didn't watch them and has only become a fan in the last 2 years.

    Usyk doesn't fight like your typical EE he reminds me abit of RJ, paws and toys with his opponents or so it seems, but he's really finding his range. Really does have cat-like reflexes. Wasn't this guy gold medalist? Even more one to look out for. Wished he'd go one division down tho, so he can play with his old friend Beterbiev and Kov. These 3 fight nothing alike, but the thing they share in common is they all have big punch. Usyk will rule cruiser division Imo, may even dominate it.

    Kovalev isn't a CW Beterbiev fought at 200lbs for several years in the Am's though. Usyk is a pretty big CW at 6'3 and was 208/209 in his WSB fights. You can tell their frames are much wider and thicker than Sergei's. That said i'm sure Kovalev could compete with the top CW's but he isn't one.

    Usyk won Gold at 2008 Euro's at 178 and moved up to 200 that same year for the Olympics at age 21 (will forever be ****ed about how badly he got robbed against Russo)

    At 21 Kovalev was at MW and lost to Korobov at Russian nationals

    EDIT Factoid Korobov also beat Usyk at the 2006 Euros at MW. Usyk was 18/19 and LHW the next year.

    Well spoken! My thoughts,mate!:good
    Usyk plays in a different dimension,but the Russian hammer is a dangerous banger.I guess Usyk would win 9 out of 10 fights but the Russian's firepower can be a game changer.Still,I would bet my money always on Usyk in a fight against that Russian ko artist.

    No I've been a fan for a long time and watch the 2012 Olympics and followed along on here, I just didn't post on forums because I thought it was gay.:lol: I have that stubborn metalhead streak that avoided social media for a very long time but I finally cracked....big time.:oops:

    You think Kovalev could beat Joe Louis. You're new to this sport.

    I didn't make an account here till 2012 but i posted in the comment section for years under 'mookie blaylock'

    And I still do, I've been watching since I was a child and I don't feel like explaining my entire history to someone who is younger than me and has probably not been following the sport as long as I have. You annoying ****ing piece of ****.
