Usik dominated tonight. But Im not sure where among the all time great Heavyweights he places. The best of today? Clearly.... But lets wait a few years and fights to gauge his hall of fame qualifications yet....hold your horses still.
What the heck, he posted this five minutes ago and I can't respond to him. I guess my life will have to go unfulfilled.
Oh, you mean he isnt good enough to be in Hall of fame.....well then you dont know anything about Boxing.
All I know is he still has 24 fights. Johnny Bumphus was undefeated after 22, Billy Costello was undefeated after 30, Jaime Garza was undefeated after 40. They al looked the goods and then puff! Even Edwin Rosario who is in the hall of fame was said to be the next Roberto Duran and he clearly was not. We need to let go of fanatism and wait to see how his career turns out at the end. Remember , its not who is ahead after the first quarter that matters but who is ahead at the end of the 4th quarter. The same can be said about boxing careers.
Usyk has been around since 2012 beating everybody in cruiser and heavy weight, cleaned house. He is 38 , he hasnt got anymore to prove... Usyk is the best heavy weight since Lewis...period
Look at the caliber of his opposition, he’s been fighting world class opposition since his 10th fight. Most undefeated boxers don’t start fighting anyone till they’re 25-0
You do realise most boxers face bums until they are into their twentieth or sometimes thirtieth match? lol usyk didn't do that... boxed for a world title belt after nine matches
What happened to David Reid, Davey Moore, Sansak Muansuring and Lomachenko? How fast a boxer wins a title is not usually a good measure of how great he or she will be later on, neither does it really bears importance. On the other hand, you have Archie Moore, Carlos Monzon, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Jose Luis Ramirez, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr, Ezzard Charles, Jose Napoles...(you want me to keep on going?) who waited until later and are certified Hall of Famers (well except Ramirez who is unfairly not there) So the fact Usik fought for a world title in his ninth fights bears no importance. Let's get off the fan wagon and wait til the future to decide whether he is an all time great or not.
