    He would wipe the floor with Glowaki even at this point of his pro career quite easily IMO.The Pole is no match for Usyk.
    Arslan is an old geezer who looks for a way to cash out and collect a big pay check for his last one or two fights at the pros.And rightfully so as he is over the hill and doesnt deserve to be no canon fodder for Usyk.
    Mchunu the African? Yep! Good opponent for the Ukranian cosack before he fights for a belt.

    Usyk should have fought him in UK.
    He could beat this guy with no training camp.

    Can someone school me on the naming conventions of Ukranian (and I suppose other slavic) names..I've seen Usyk referred to as Alexander Barbel & Cirrus.

    Why are there so many threads nowadays bad mouthing Usyk? :patsch

    "He's ducking this guy, he's ducking that guy" :roll:

    He's 9-0 FFS.

    He's damn exciting and he incorporates a great deal of offense and defense.

    His defense/boxing ability is just unparalleled at that weight class.

    The only thing I can knock him about is the length of his hair, it gets into his eyes and it bothers him in fights. I hate that.

    Also, he's southpaw. I do not like southpaws much. But I'll make him as one of my exceptions.

    This guy is a terrific counter puncher. I hope that he moves up to HW soon.

    Glad we can agree with one thing. :D

    The worst matchup to watch in all of boxing is Southpaw vs Southpaw. It's so insanely awkward since I'm a right hander. It's just painful at times.

    I still watch it but I'd rather not.

    I'd love for him to test the waters whilst he is still at his peak physically.

    But how many good fights are at cruiser? Hate to see him leave before mixing it with some other fighters there.

    And more to come after the Olympics.

    Thats why i'd be fine with him hanging under 200 for a while. No guarantee he comes out of that pool of fighters unscathed.
