Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Usyk vs. Daniel Raphael Dubois 2 & Lawrence Okolie Jr. vs. Kevin Lerena RBR

Archie Moore was dominating light-heavyweight in his mid 40's while Ezzard Charles was washed up by 35. Does that make Charles greater?

Bernard Hopkins was middleweight champ at 40 while Marvin Hagler was long retired. Does that make Hopkins greater than Hagler?

Of course not.

 

Right, and Moore & Hopkins can be praised for those facts without Charles & Hagler needing to be defended over it.

 

So, how many more title shots will brick top arrange for his glistening project?

 

Fair enough i respect that.

 

Well, I went 2-3-1 in my picks this weekend. Not the worst I've had, but eh, not happy with it either. Can't win em all though.

But hey, screw it. My favorite fighter still got to be undisputed once again at the end of the day, so I'm happy with that. Especially since while I didn't call much else right, I at least almost called this one to a T. I was only off by one round!

Can't wait to see what Usyk does next

 

All true, but what else can he do than spectacularly smash up everything the Anglos throw at him? He had to endure 3 unearned rematches after dominant victorys, and smote them every time without batting an eyelid. It is pretty GOAT-ish behaviour.

 

I'm a bit of an Ali hater at times; I think he is overrated at the very least - but that was a crushing riposte. The best guys in the modern era are all horribly flawed, and the "21st Century Super Heavyweight" theory is completely dead.

 

Usyk face off Jake Paul and mentioning names of Fury and AJ in post fight interview proves my claim: Usyk is after maximum pay days, not legacy. And it's perfectly normal and smart.

 

What a good ****ing morning in which the few Dubois supporters can shut the hell up about some ill-conceived comeback against obese steroid cheat without steroids, utterly demotivated Hrgovic with 5 round gas tank, and a good, albeit chinny and past-it Joshua.

 

Just rewatched this morning, and am even more impressed with Usyk.

I genuinely think he looked better than I've ever seen him, he upped his aggression and really went for the big shots from the first bell. This coupled with his elusiveness, is a deadly combination.

 

Usyk has underestimated power, if Hrgovic's punches hadn't been too soft and his stamina hadn't failed him, he could have stopped Dubois, but that's boxing...

 

...and was getting dominated the entire fight until landing a 1-2 down the pipe.

 

All the PBF nuthuggers will talk about his greatness, but Usyk's career, as stated here, has been full of killers in their own backyard. Floyd ducked every challenge, won numerous fights via the judges, and ended with a long run of extremely easy fights, including Conor McGregor.

The difference between Usyk and PBF is that Usyk is a true glorious ATG boxer, Floyd is a complete marketing charade.

 

Remember, Fury was saved by the in round 9 with the same shot.
