    Post war? It's war-time Usyk. He is baying for blood. He will invoke the savages warriors of Ukriane. Anthony 'Dubai' Joshua will be embarassed once agian and we can all look forward to another of his just-got-to-get-back-on-the-horse-innit speech.

    all I can go by is the ones posting here. They seem to think Klitschko was at his peak. I'm sure it is just to build Fury up.

    I don't think you can control what people think.
    It's boxing and we understand that many people are fickle and can turn on a fighter after a loss.
    Also it just depends how it pans out. for instance if Usyk gets robbed by the judges (my fear in the first fight) then you can't expect to give credit under those circumstances. Look at Caneolo v GGG I personally don't credit those wins because I thought GGG did enough in both fights. So it really depends on what happens and if there's mitigating circumstances.

    first. war in Ukraine is very bad.
    I am from war torn region & I was bum fighter in my prime. so this could be reason.


    second. yes Usyk is on the steroids. that is correct. ( also Joshua).

    There is no way I will support Usyk, after todays press conference. He showed his true colors.

    I don't believe AJ and his fans had any legit excuses after the first fight.

    It was clear cut and decisive, AJ was out foxed and outboxed, it wasn't remotely close in my opinion.

    We really going to pretend the real world doesn't sometimes alter the mental, emotional or physical state in which fighters perform, thus their performance, and thus the overall value of the win/loss?

    This is reality.

    The buzz that surrounded Joshua is long dead either way. He was on a high until the Wladimir fight, then he started to fight boring, and now he has been beat twice, and does not look overly upset about the whole thing. The passion and motivation Joshua had for boxing is in steep decline.

    It’s hard to believe now, but millions of people thought he was going to be bigger than Mike Tyson, and storm the whole world making billions of pounds.

    He betrayed himself by being hypocrite and sold himself for Saudi money.

    So you defend human rights in one country, but fighting for big money in another country who is also doing very bad things in Yemen, but you have nothing to say about that ?

    I was a huge fan, but there is no way I will support two faced guy.

    I see.
    Fair enough I suppose.
    Thanks for explaining why.

    This is an interesting debate actually. The reason I’m willing to give Usyk more of a pass here is because apparently he’s going to donate some of his purse to the war effort.

    Saudi were the highest bidder so it was a relatively easy decision for him. I do agree it could look somewhat hypocritical though.
