    There are huge fights anywhere. Weird how only Americans never get crap for never traveling.

    But he got up. Punch resistance and chin are two different things.

    So how does he have a better chin then? Remember, Usyk is fighting at heavyweight and cruiserweight

    Calzaghe was not in his prime either when he got dropped by B-Hop and Roid. He'd been involved in a lot of wars, fought a lot of huge/big punchers, and taken a lot of punishment over the years. I showed you how sturdy his chin was in his prime. Roid had hardly been involved in any wars, rarely took any punishment, fought few huge/big punchers but his chin was mysteriously deemed shot overnight at the age of 35.

    Play by the same rules or don't play at all.

    If not you get slapped up

    Usyk is better , but I feel that we should talk more about Hopkins and RJJ’s daddy white boy Joe. Hopkins talked a lot and then joe made him cry and how he dry humped Jones in front of his fans.

    Who picked arm puncher Usyk? I probably exert more power into punches during shadow boxing than Usyk does during a fight.

    This can’t be serious. Usyk is levels and levels above Calzaghe

    This thread is the last gasp for poor deluded fans of The Italian Dragon.

    He just wasn't as good as you wanted him to be.

    All hail Lord Oleksandr.

    They are both elite top level fighters. Usyk has achieved more, but then that can be said of everyone this century bar Floyd and Pac.

    Calzaghe is right up there.

    Usyk is a more technically skilled version of Calzaghe, but same principle. Very talented, Super active southpaws who know how to win.

    Nightmares to face.

    This was posted before the trolling lol
    Tbf usuk could also box 24 rounds, they share that in common

    I have to say usyk is greater, but Joe is much better than his record suggests. He has good recovery, but doesn't have an usyk type chin

    Usyk is technically more skilled of course, but Joe was skilled

    I still think Joe had a better engine. His stamina was absolutely crazy
