    Nonsenses. If AJ was mentally damage, he wouldn't have throwed 700+ punches in their first fight. And would have been KOed.
    It's a nonsenses, as he beat Ruiz in the rematch 12-0, and then KO Pulev with a KO of the year contender, not losing a single round.

    You can nitpick on anyone if you want to go that deep.

    I feel like th HW division had stagnated until Usyk beat AJ.

    Fury took the belts off Wlad, then went on a drugs binge. Wilder avoided anyone with a pulse. AJ went on a tear but then failed to face his peers before losing to Ruiz.

    Usyk beat AJ twice and is now facing Fury. He's carrying this division.

    90% is too much IMO. If you have beaten say 3-4 of the 5 best heavies of your generation, do you really need to beat the #10 guy?

    If Usyk beats Fury in addition to Joshua twice and lets say he beats Hrgovic, does he really need to beat Wilder and Zhang? Not really.

    Why the hell is slimy Mannix asking the winner about the opponents knee. It's just taking away credit...

    Yeah, he probably sprained it two months ago and wore it as a precautionary measure.... just in case.

    Doesn't matter at all. They will have beaten the best and beating number 7, 8, or 9 doesn't really mean anything in the end.

    You sort of answered your own question. This was likely the largest payday he'll ever get. It's easier to take the money now versus something you aren't sure will ever come along again.
