Max Kellerman says Usyk is a historically overrated heavyweight, do you agree?

Almost every HW era is labelled as crap.. it's boring.. Klitschkos, Holmes, Dempsey, Marcianos.. truth is there's only been a couple of golden eras.. Usyk & Fury rose to the top of this era.. Just like K2 did before them.. just like Lewis & Holyfield before them.. & so it goes on.. Usyk hasn't even finished either.. he'll probably fight Parker/Wardley too.. his HW run is excellent.

 

If someone is considering Usyk the greatest heavyweight then Max is right. Most of Usyk's career so far has taken place at cruiserweight. He only has 8 fights at heavyweight.

 

It doesn't matter how many times you whoop a donkey's ass, he"s still a donkey.

 

He is very ignorant on world boxing he only knows about US fighters. He doesn't understand different set ups in other countries he ignores context. At the end of the day he is just a dork whose knowledge only comes from sitting behind a desk.

 

You are correct. But every other HW you mentioned had a many more fights at HW than Usyk does. Holyfield had 38 fights. All the others fought their entire career at HW. I guess one can argue that Usyk did a lot in a short amount of fights, but does that mean he is an ATG at HW or the greatest at HW?

 

It was on ESPN Friday Night Fights. Kellerman was and still is a huge Roy nuthugger. Frazier would absolutely obliterate Roy.

 

Lmao, I like Max for the most part tbh. But this is just a terrible take.

 

Kellerman isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. How is the undisputed heavyweight champion, who is still unbeaten an overrated heavyweight.

 

Agreed gents all those "types" the Kellerman's, Howie's. Lampley's and Merchants are all morons who make the sport less, it isn't cute or "iconic" to me or "nostalgic" it's like listening to someone in the cinema talk over a movie I'm enjoying. I don't know how guys who've watched as much boxing as them can know so little? it's baffling. none of there opinions are worth a single F-ing cent .people don't even realise what a Charlatan festival boxing is... Angelo Dundee "The Great Trainer" didn't teach anyone to fight he stood next to fighters so long people assumed a lot FFS he got his break wrapping Carmen Bassilo's hands every fighter he's linked to was taught to fight by someone else, I can rattle off nearly every name... he was chosen for Ali because he'd stay out of his way / because of his brothers connections what I'm illustrating is if even the "top 10 trainers of all time lists" are compromised with Kellerman types and he probably knows less then you two about boxing, it is unsurprising when people take "Dr Pacheco" who trained... who? as an on air authority for his "expertise" on a bout. I remember Pacheco saying Archie Moore's "opinions were irrelevant" did anyone say anything? no because the people who run boxing who put Lampley on the air and every other leech seemingly DSKAB I want a @Rumsfeld type on the commentator team if I had to take any non champion non trainer Rummy boy has no ego (or he hides it well...) and a real passion / insight for this business.

We live in a world where one of these guy's is more well known for his fight "expertise" and the other was told he was “irrelevant” by some physician.

 

Dork is right my Aussie brother, literally would take basically every poster on this forum more serious then F-ing Kellerman on the topic of boxing.

 

Yep I remember Kellerman trying to discredit Kambosos's win over Lopez. He is just bias to non American fighters.

 

That’s why he should retire soon. He has nothing to prove. He beat all the elite guys. Beating Parker or Kabayel doesn’t really do much.
