Bellew states that Usyk is by far the most skilled fighter above 175

Mark come on does this really need a new thread?

But yes Usyk is.

Usyk p4p no. 1 fights bigger opponents wherever, whenever with no card stacking. He's a world champion not a protected manufactured ***** Las Vegas champion

 

Bellew's opinions are as valuable as Teddy Atlas fight predictions.
He also said David Price was the heir to the Klitschkos.

He also said that AJ would KO Usyk and that AJ wouldn't respect Usyk's power. Considering he's been in the ring with Usyk and presumably sparred extensively with AJ, his analysis has been poor.

 

You've answered your own question..
The interview was before the fight and he was wrong.

/ THREAD

 

Given that Usyk clearly is the best technician above 175, what's your point?

 

I fear for Usyk he got jinxed by Bellew.

 

Inoue is more skilled than Usyk. He's the most skilled fighter in the game. Just saying.

 

Everyone is skilled until they fight Fury. I want to see Usyk's reaction when he feels Fury's huge body and weight on his shoulders.

 

I was just about to call Bellend out on that.

Prior to the fight he gave the casual opinion that AJ was “too big and too strong” for Usyk and would knock him out.

Now for him to give this opinion despite sparring with them both and knowing them, shows how poor he is.

Observers like us always fancied Usyk to outbox AJ. The only question was whether he would get robbed, I personally thought they would rob him on the cards. So it was good to see him be given the win.

 

Indeed. I wrote an essay titled "AJ-Usyk is highly competitive" in which I predicted that Usyk would win on neutral territory or at home but lose a corrupt points decision in Britain. And neither of us had the luxury of sharing a ring with AJ or Usyk. Dave Allen gave Usyk a great chance though, probably because he's less biased than Bellew.

 

AJ a useless wooden top tried to box him and gassed out as he always does and Usyk is now the greatest thing since Tyson Fury.

Yeah maybe. It when he faces the REAL he champ things will get ugly.

 

Usyk just did a much milder version of what we predicted Fury would do to AJ. Now many of the guys who were picking AJ to KO Usyk and Fury are picking Usyk to beat Fury lol. Some are doing so while at the same time revising their positions, throwing AJ under the bus and saying that he's basically sh*t (so who did Usyk even beat?)
