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

Yo lepin make life easier for us and list out all the guys Whyte loses to so I can roast you later on.

Meanwhile Ill check your previous predictions on Whyte, they were probably failures too.

 

Apart from the obvious tribalism being expressed by both ends of the spectrum, Usyk is a supremely talented cruiser who has yet to test the professional waters of the HW division. I think the guy can make an immediate impact in the division; still, it would be foolish to think he couldn’t end up with an Eddie Chambers/David Haye type career at the weight.

I personally find he has more upside when compared to the aforementioned. Let’s just say anyone crowning Usyk as apex Is grossly premature and those denying is ability to lead the pack are showing their subjectiveness.

 

Fury, Wilder, Joshua, Ruiz, Hrgovic.

 

Cool prepare yourself for a roasting

 

Watch it, the Eastern Euro, jock straps will attack you if you don't get down on your knees, mouth wide open to gargle like they do.

Usyk is the goods. I'll let his fists do the talking at heavyweight though.

 

To be expected, although, it shouldn’t swing us completely of course here. I’m impressed by Usyk’s versatility and real-time adjustments, he’ll make noise simply based on his awareness and ring generalship.

I wouldn’t let the resident ignoramuses misguide the overall purpose of the conversation. I’ll admit I’ve fallen into the trap on several occasions myself.

The likelihood of Wilder/Ruiz/Joshua/Fury being utterly schooled by Usyk is a real possibility; however, there’s no rational way for us to predict with confidence how those fights will go. What’s been evidenced at HW is how he has preformed and reacted to amateur bouts and sparring sessions. All we have is a somewhat uniformed arbitrary assumption regarding how he will perform versus top contenders like White, Rivas, Ortiz, Parker, Kownacki, or even the unproven like Dubious and Hrgovic.

Maybe I’m being harsh because he’s proven his skill set and motor are top notch.

 

Love that. Agree totally - great write up.

 

Once again Surge destroys

 

Cruiserweight is essentially a European division so no you are not wrong

 

There’s no mystery behind why Usyk is respected and liked, I just don’t see how his character description written and described through your eyes adds to his validation as a pro fighter. Outside of the quantifiable stats you listed your post seems undeniably subjective.

I get why Wilder isn’t your cup of tea but how does that justify you demonizing his character, under repping his accolades and accomplishments as late starter and referring to him as “bum squad”

Regardless of your well detailed selective perception of Americans and American fighters Usyk is likely all those things you mentioned. It’s unfortunate you choose to be drawn to the negative generalities that conveniently substantiate your existing beliefs for my countrymen in the US.

Usyk is not the complete antithesis of the majority of American fighters....all you literally need is one contradiction and that statement is smashed to bits. I’ve known countless fighters that drudged careers overseas only to be distastefully stereotyped and ridiculed on the basis of nothing other than their appearance and origin of passport.

Happy to go on the record saying I think Usyk wins that fight pretty handily. There's a reason why it's a fight within his stable that would generate massive interest that Dillian has been utterly dismissive of making. Uysk is a much much bigger challenge than Parker, Browne and Rivas and Whyte knows it.

 

Part of my entertainment value for this site is the vastly different interpretations. I respect Serge’s dedication, research and commitment but loathe his lack of objectivity, and his reactive devaluation.
