    Dude was out once in 2020, once in 2021 and once in 2022. Guy needs to get to fighting IMO.

    He should look to do two this year, even if one is a bit more minor. He should come over here and fight Bakole or Whyte or someone put himself right in the mix for a big UK fight. Or, alternatively, tidy up America by fighting Ruiz then Hunter. Decent money all round.

    When the Usyk-Fury fight broke down last week, Malik Scott posted a cryptic "2 X" (or two times) on social media, before it was removed.

    Saturday, when asked about negotiations with Usyk, Wilder responded with "I'm not allowed to say."

    Yesterday, in a garbled mess of a phone interview posted online (bad connection ;)), Malik Scott said Usyk was "a friend" (I guess they know each other from way back) ... but Wilder stops him in six and becomes a "two times" champ. (There's that 2X again. :D)

    Wilder back in camp today ... still really fast hands.

    Will it be Usyk or Ruiz?

    Nothing whatsoever to suggest little USKY can withstand a flush Wilder right hand.

    Crock of ****. Usyk has taken the best of Joshua, Joyce, Gassiev, Mehzidov...dozens of others in the amateur, semi-pro and pro ranks. He has an iron chin and is not going to go down from some can-crusher who only has a straight right.

    You have a vested interest in inflating Wilder because that makes your boy look good, but Deontay just isn't where its at and Usyk beats him in an easier fight that Gassiev, who, whatever his other deficiencies, as least has a crazy arsenal.

    Except what I just cited.

    Malik, is that you?

    He does have an iron chin but he can be and has been hurt. Wilder doesn't care what your chin is made of...he will rock your boots.

    The question is whether he can land or not. You can try and hide from it by claiming Usyk can handle it but he can't.

    At least his biggest vulnerability the body isn't going to get checked by Wilder.

    He rocks tomato cans to their boots. Guys like Duhaupas and Washington, that aren't that good, finished on their feet, and he needed the refs help against Ortiz.

    You are flat-out delusional.

    A man still needs knocking out.

    You want the video of Usyk gassing from a little unknown journeyman who walked at him?

    Boxing is a tough sport. A man no matter his level still requires knocking out. You are the delusional one trying to hide from the truth. The truth is Wilder is a total freak and such a danger that Usyk is smart enough to not go near him. As will be proven with time.

    Wilder is a freak idiot, but his power is overated from crushing cans.

    Usyk threw almost a thousand punches against Gassiev...he's going to gas against someone of Wilder's limited capabilities?

    No he won't gas. Wilder isn't really a pressure fighter. Just don't make Usyk out to be Jesus because he slapped Chisora and a bodybuilder. Wilder cracks both of them and they go night night in 1 round.

    He also beat Joyce in WSB and some of the best punchers in the world at amateur. Wilder will not trouble him.

    Oleksandr Usyk won a FIVE-round decision over Joe Joyce 10 YEARS AGO this month.

    10 years was a long time ago.

    And, if the Dubois-Joyce fight was five rounds long, Daniel Dubois would've won a five-round decision on the official cards over Joe, too.

    Hell, if the Joyce-Carlos Takam fight was five rounds long, Takam would've won the decision.

    Title fights are 12 rounds. Not five.

    There's really nothing to argue about at all if Usyk and Wilder fight. Malik Scott and Usyk are friends. Nobody will be badmouthing the other side. They both despise Fury.:cool:

    Usyk will either win a completely lopsided decision, or he'll get ICED. And it could happen in any round at any moment.

    That's why it would be great fun to watch until the very end.;)

    Hope it happens.

    Uuhh, ten years ago Joyce was a hell of a lot closer to his athletic prime than he is today.

    You have constantly picked Joshua and Wilder to beat Usyk and Fury, even saying that Usyk was looking for a cash-out. You really ought to just shut your pie-hole.
