Am I wrong to not drink the Usyk Kool-Aid?

We all know why you don’t rate him

 

1/10



The Briedis and Gassiev wins are better than anything your hope deontay has done.

 

Excellent Cruiserweight.. He and Holyfield are 1A and 1B then there’s everybody else by the widest of margins.. Obviously now at HW he’s by far the most skilled the only question mark is does he have enough power to keep guys honest and can he take HW power.. But you smoking something tainted if you think his resume is weak..

 

No. Usyk admittedly is very talented and a hard worker, but it also can’t be denied that cruiserweight is easily one of the weakest divisions.

I think he’s good enough to be a top 5-10 heavyweight and if any of the champions underestimate him he could definitely win a title, but like a lot of southpaws is a complete sucker for a good right hand and his footwork is very predictable, which is why I knew he was going to have trouble with Bellew’s timing despite him being able to eventually wear Bellew down and get the knockout.

 

Brit and american logic: if I cant pronounce the names of a weight divisions top 10, the division must be trash.

 

big fan here

 

Why did Gassiev not land any of note then? He's got a great left hook and an underrated overhand right, why did Gassiev fail to KO Usyk if he was a sucker for a good right hand

Oh yes it's because he isn't. Usyk knew what he was doing and moved to the right, negating almost any right hand action.

Well it can be argued considering its a top 3 division at the minute

 

I think his resume is pretty good for cruiserweight.

People are assuming a bit much in terms of how well he'll do at heavy, in my opinion.

 

Are people really questioning Usyk? I can describe Usyk in 3 words.......TALENTED, TALENTED, TALENTED! NUFF SAID! Now destroy this thread and send into bolivian!

 

Yeah I agree, he has done well At cruiser weight but for a while now some people have said he will rule the heavyweight division, I just don’t see it, he can’t punch hard enough to keep a big heavy off him

 

Exactly.

 

Yes you are wrong. Usyk's mango koolaid is superior to any other sort of koolaid. Especially Wilder's grape flavoured koolaid. Don't drink that sort of koolaid!

 

In a word....YES. You are wrong to avoid the Kool-Aid. The fact that he went on the road to everyone else's home country to take home his belts is enough reason to drink a whole lot of Usyk Kool-Aid. A true road warrior.

 

In any case it's still millions times better than Wilder's resume.

According to your logic, Briedis and Gassiev are has-beens, but 6000-years-old Luis Ortiz and 5000-years-old Bermane Stiverne (2 Wilder's best wins) aren't? LOL
