    He's fighting murderous punching giants way bigger and heavier than him :facepalm:


    AJ, Dubois, and Majidov can all punch holes in castle walls and are some of the hardest hitters in the entire sport :facepalm:

    And Beterbiev is one of the hardest punchers of all time :facepalm:

    Imagine being cracked in the bladder or hips from full power shots by them.

    Most of these clown's current heroes are fighting light to average punchers their own size or smaller or way smaller and are rarely facing legit bangers or murderous punchers, let alone ones way bigger and heavier than them. And that includes your current P4P great like Crawford and co

    Usyk has fought more legit bangers and murderous punching KO artists than anyone.

    Oh let’s give Usyk an excuse because he’s fighting bigger, heavier guys then lmao…if he can’t handle the HW division and needs to fake low blows he should’ve stayed at Cruiserweight then

    It's not just hurting opposing fighters but body work reduces opponent power and stamina and increases fatigue. Great investment especially early on.

    I have a hunch the Charlos dont like body shots

    Nobody does but as per old saying goes if you can dish it out you better be able to take it.

    I think Fury will have collected the data on a Usyk!

    It's not an excuse it's a fact. No one, including everyone in the P4P top 10, has fought as many legit bangers and savage punching KO artists as he has, let alone way bigger ones.

    We've seen most of those fighters dropped or badly hurt, some numerous times, despite the fact they've barely fought any punchers, let alone murderous punching ones their size or way bigger.

    That coward ducking bum Belly was dropped by complete featherfists Cunningham and Pajkic, badly hurt and very nearly dropped by complete featherfist
    Firtha and hurt by complete featherfist Wallin despite being bigger or way bigger or way bigger than all of them :facepalm:

    Crawford was badly hurt from a single right hand and a punch away from oblivion by tiny little leprechaun Gamboa who has scored 2 stoppages at 135 in 13 fights and was way smaller than him

    He was hurt and dropped by a same size Egis despite the fact it's one of the extremely rare instances of him fighting an actual puncher his size

    I could keep going on and on

    Glass bodies do exist.
    Body checkers need to be careful when investigating. I think going down to a legitimate liver shot or a kidney shot isn't an indication of a weak body, but the fighters that wince and try to fake low blows every time someone touches their tummy need to be called out.

    He can collect what he wants. He's a grade A worthless coward who was too much of a female dog to fight in the final against the other finalist after both won their semi-finals, and had to do so twice, emphatically even though he would've had everything stacked heavily in his favour in his homeland against a way way smaller opponent.

    He and that snake Big Frank have tried to age Usyk out and they were praying age would catch up with him and that he would come unstuck against one of his three giant and very dangerous mandatory challengers so the coward Belly Fury wouldn't have to ever take that test

    Yes he'll suddenly find his plums now, just like he would've had Dubois won.

    Big Frank openly boasts about being a master of timing. He knew Tsyzu was an injjury-ravaged mess and on the decline when he threw Hatton in there with him

    He did the same with Yarde and a badly declined Kovalev after they ducked the fight twice before.

    Then he did the same by throwing Yarde in there with an old Beterbiev. Not that Beterbiev wasn't still very good but rather because Frank knows that a fighter that age can grow old over night and that you can catch them on the turn ie. the right time and that's what he was banking on

    He was banking on youth, size and power being too much for an aged inactive Usyk last night too

    I don't know for sure if the glass body theory is true for Usyk, but I agree we can't say oh he's a CW fighting against heavyweights as an excuse but still try to claim he's #1 p4p. We don't give these training wheels to guys in the other divisions that move up.

    What legal bodyshots look like (from the video posted)

    Watching Spence fights must have people thinking punches on the legs, groin and pubic region are legal punches.

    Nobody faked more low blows than John Ruiz. Nobody.

    Ruiz and Hopkins were probably the worst offenders of this.
