    Let’s hope Usyk totally gets his ass kicked and quits after defecating in his trunks, before getting popped for steroids a week later.

    You may or may not rate his opposition, but that wasn't my point. My point was that he has consistently fought the best opposition available (whether, historically speaking, you rate them or not.)

    Cool spectacle. People will cry over everything....

    There's literally only one guy left for Usyk and that's Kabayel, but even him, Usyk doesn't have to fight him , IMO. Usyk can do this fight and retire/move aside.

    Lack of head movement will make it easy money for Uysk

    I'd rather watch the paint dry.

    I would usually fully agree with this, and had he relinquished all belts then no issue whatsoever but it’s just simply not right to be holding belts hostage when there’s guys who have battled to get to mandatory status, careers are short in this game! For a complete wildcard to get a shot at a belt from nowhere is crazy which ever way you look at it

    No my friend , its really not me . You of course may try weak personal insults via internet not being man enough to call it out face to face - nobody cares - but that does not change the fact usyk depends on fans like you . Only like you

    If that's your definition of a mental meltdown I'd hate to see what your definition of an actual one is

    If I was any more calm and serene when I wrote that an artist would've painted an oil painting of me

    And the irony of that coming from a troll whose entire existence on this forum is a 24/7 mental meltdown couldn't be more priceless :risas3::facepalm:

    Better or worse than Ali Vs Antonio Inoki? I guess this is for a title and an actual boxing match, but at least the guy Uysk is taking on is from a striking sport.

    Shocking of course, but let’s not pretend the heavyweight title hasn’t been used as a circus act for al lot of its entirety
