Turki wants Oleksandr Usyk vs David Benavidez for 2027

Half of them picking Benavidez to beat Usyk

Always so much Usyk disrespect

Max and the Shady dude saying Usyk always has the speed advantage, as to low-key try and discredit him.

Funny how we never heard that argument for Floyd or Roy, eh?

Did they say that about Holyfield and Haye at HW?

Imagine Roy stayed at HW and people tried to low-key discredit him by saying he always had the speed advantage

And Usyk is almost 40 y/o, has slowed down a lot, and these giants he's fought are far from slow sans Chisora who isn't the quickest but even he is quick enough to land

I wouldn't mind so much if they at least prefaced it with ''Usyk is 39 y/o old and boxing is a young man's game and he's at that age where Father Time is almost undefeated'' which should've been the first thing out of their mouths because, duh, Usyk is old and that's true

Also, whilst Benavdez looked good and put on an impressive performance the other night, Zurdo went life and death vs a 39 y/o inactive Dorticos who hadn't fought anyone with a pulse in 5 years and had only fought x 3 in all that time all early blowouts of journeymen who weren't even journeymen CWs

And Zurdo won his first belt at CW off of a Goulamirian who'd been even more inactive than Dorticos - he'd fought once in 4 years and 3 months and not at all in 16 months

And he won his other one off CBS who is very tough, game, and can punch but is an overachiever not elite. Elite as in one of the best fighters at the weight in a weak weight weight class but not an elite fighter

Point being Benavidez beating Zurdo is enough to convince them he beats Usyk at HW? So disrespectful to Usyk

 

No doubt

 

He's always been an insufferable pompous jackass
