    The fact you can't even entertain the idea that Usyk, the guy who struggled to beat an old chisora, could lose to that list of very good Hws once again proves what a casual you are.

    This is lame lol. You can do to this to literally any fighters resume.

    Ok so youre criticizing what he's done. But lets talk about what he didnt do.
    He didn't get his head knocked off by a 42-1 underdog that went on to get demolished in his first attempt to defend the title.

    He didn't get flat lined by the likes of Rahman while being the bigger fighter.

    He didn't get bounced off the canvas multiple times by an old part time boxer golfer Sanders.

    Ect.

    Boxing isn't always about just what you do.

    It's also about what doesn't get done to you.

    Oh ya, the ever scary Parker. The guy that's lost clearly to AJ, had tit for tat battles with Whyte and Chisora, and who got mopped by Joyce.

    Ya, Parker is really the name that's missing from Usyks resume. That will make a big difference once Usyk beats Parker, he def will get a lot of credit for that.

    I think Usyk has had a great run at heavyweight and deserves all the success that he’s had.

    I don’t really think he fought the best of Fury though. I wish the fight had happened a few years sooner before Fury’s elbow surgeries etc.

    Having said that, that’s not Usyks fault.

    I,m also stunned but OBVIOUSLY parker is scary enough that usyk runs away from him , asking for fishy extensions to even negotiate anf confirm the fight as a wbo title defence .

    If usyk himself would be sure to beat parker easily he would just fight him and knock him out instead of taking all this justified critism .

    Fact is : he avoids parker

    Uh... he just fought less than 3 months ago, has fought twice in the last 10 months and is 38 years old. God forbid he takes a couple months off.

    Every single fight he's had in his last 6 fights have been more meaningful and more dangerous than Parker. But ya, because he hasn't signed to fight Parker in two months since his last fight he's avoiding him.

    Brilliant criticisms here.

    No no no kirk and i think you know it .

    If usyk would have contacted team parker and officially confirmed that he will face him for mandatory wbo title defence as ordered by wbo , NOBODY would say a word when he takes his time off before he actually fights parker .

    But thats not what happened .

    He never contacted team parker and never confirmed he will fight him for wbo title defence . He requested a fishy injury extension to even negotiate , let alone to fight and in the meantime he plays football , dances on concerts and negotiates with jake paul to heal his injuries .

    Thats what happened .

    Do you think fury fought the best usyk? One that had slowed down significantly? Point is they were both long in the tooth
