    Bellew is a great story made by the man with big heart all by himself. Usyk is good boxer, but not much of a fighter. It will be interesting.

    I think he has a knack for selling himself and of course that's important but it's massively overegged. He was hardly Duran or Pac, a child fighting men to escape real poverty.

    There will always be a better story about anything in anybody's mind. This topic is NOT about Duran or Pac.

    Based on what he's achieved at 200lbs. No... He's getting over praised for beating a shot & hobbled Haye at HW! He's better than some people think... Sound ring IQ, mentally tough, decent fundamentals but Bellew has never been more than a B level fighter for me.

    You mean you didn't know Bellew was brought up on the mean streets of Liverpool and had to fight for every single thing he has achieved??

    The guy has had a very hard time compared to guys like Usyk who grew up in Crimea during the collapse of the Soviet Union.

    No, he isn't.

    Could name easily 5-10 CWs who would beat him EASILY.

    There's a big socialism movement in Liverpool, so you could argue that they feel Usyk indeed had it better

    He is such a ****ing bellend. I hope he doesn't land a punch then gets brutally stopped and never appears on TV again. Is ego is spiralling out of control and he is the most hypocritical man I have ever had the displeasure to hear speak.
