    he is starting to look like a real great. The term great is thrown around too early but he is one person who is proving a lot. Many people think Bowe was great, I don't. I think he had a limited career as did Ward.

    Usyk was just having fun there. when asked what's next.

    " Maybe Tyson Fury...Maybe Anthony Joshua, maybe Derek Chisora....."

    All British boxers he's already beaten, two of them twice.

    Then he mentioned Parker, who I think will be his next opponent.

    You know Parker is pissed. Like you ducked me and took my shot just to go down like that?

    Crazy how Dubois was coming off wins over top 10 heavyweights and Usyk threw him out like yesterday’s garbage.

    Yeah mate, none of those guys have ever fought anyone like Usyk before, where as Usyk has grown up on the GOATs tapes and seen everything they bring.

    Joshua too, whether one likes it or not. The big robot put in a really good performance in the rematch.
    I still maintain that Joshua´s best performance to date, is his rematch with Usyk. He boxed excellent on that night, and I credit Robert Garcia for it.

    Boxers like to fight and its difficult to quit on top. They still think they got things left and easy money to make. Its why fighters rarely retire on top. Usyk could still easily continue based on his performance tonight. Even at 38 he is clearly better than the rest and has a few fights left. He has nothing left to prove but I diubt he will retire.

    I and many others totally agree, squire.



    There may be a few spastics looking to discredit and play things down...even in the moment









    But not in the reality of tonight...




    I wonder if dubois come back from this a better fighter or the worse?.

    Don't agree Dubois isn't that good people need to calm down this always happens after a big fight.

    Usyk was an overwhelming favourite and was expected to win. Yes it was a very good finish and all credit to Usyk but its still Dubois....and he simply isn't that good.

    Man. I had such a bad gut feeling all day thinking Dubois was going to just get to him at some point and overwhelm him. Unbelievably happy for Usyk. He didn't just cruise to a decision, he put on an absolute show. LEGEND.

    I think Fury beats anyone in the top 10 not called Usyk.

    Stop with the hyperbole, George was 45 when he koed a 26 year old unbeaten unified champion.
    That is miraculous.
