Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Usyk vs. Ricardo Verhoeven & Frank Sanchez vs. Richard Torrez Jr. RBR.

- Tim is not even a top 15 heavyweight in a sport that generally seen as being from the 90s. Its debatable that hes top 20.
That is non comparable to someone whose top 10 in a sport that has almost 100 years of lineage.

- Tim had lost like 3 of his previous 4 fights or something like that, its debatable he was even a top 10 fighter but he certainly wasn't top 5, let alone number one let alone mmas undisputed champion.
Non comparable to beating the reigning undisputed champion of the sport who is actively hailed as a historically skilled operator.

 

On paper Usyk should outclass Rico and stop him but Rico is massive guy and is dangerous and he does pose a threat for a variety of different reasons, most of which I've already outlined, and I hope Usyk doesn't carry him

And coming in as heavy as he did might add to his power but the other side of that coin is it might make him more sluggish and easier to hit and work in Rico's favour.

Usyk is the one who has everything to lose here and Rico has the element of surprise so Usyk needs to be switched on and ruthless

 

Youre basically saying Usyk would be near as good as he is without the extensive boxing training and lived experience hes had.

I dont agree
