    Usyk is far less skilled and versatile than Loma, obviously in absolute terms but also relative to their weight classes. The very common idea that they’re comparable is misinformed and not based on any film. Usyk has more grit about him that’s it. If they were the same size Loma would box his head off, Usyk would tell you the same and that’s not just because he’s humble

    Stop the cap! An old wlad was not better than the pac pbf schooled. Pac went on to beat Bradley and thurman after that ffs and wlad went on to get ktfo by AJ and never fought again. At least try to be objective here.

    Wilder was seen as a bum here he was routinely mocked and laughed at for his skill level and resume. So don't all of a sudden bring him up to try and support your argument because it doesn't work.

    The Cruiserweight division doesn't get any respect in boxing it never has and it never will. Briedis was a quality operator but don't make him out to be more than what he was he won't even get into the hof.

    Yeah Usyk moved up but the guys he beat weren't great they were simply top fighters in a weak division. It's not like Usyk moved up and fought guys like Lewis wlad or Holmes. Pbf fought and beat much better fighters than Usyk did period and is greater because of it.

    Pbf was never knocked down by Maidana. Do you like to make up stuff just to be heard? It never happened stop lying.

    If you think beating AJ and fury puts Usyk over pbf in the all time rankings then youre delusional and don't know **** about boxing. There's not a credible boxing publication in the world that will rank Usyk over pbf historically.

    Loma took losses due to his failure to make the necessary adjustments in fights, it never takes Usyk more than a few rounds to make the necessary adjustments and turn the fight in his favour. Usyk clearly has the superior ring IQ.

    Exactly. And Usyk has actually been talking about fighting in MMA. I’d bet ANYTHING if Usyk actually offers someone a fight in MMA… he will actually step up and go through with his words rather than being a chicken **** like floyd and back out .

    I’m still waiting on that MMA fight in a cage like floyd said he was going to do with Connor McGregor after their fight (BOXING) where Connor made his pro boxing DEBUT!! :) What happened with that??? I know there are millions of others that haven’t forgotten about floyd saying that too!

    Anyway… yeah floyd also talked a bunch of **** about Triple G and how he would beat him too. Then I guess it was decided that the “size difference would be too much at 160” :lol::lol::lol::lol: I mean… A 50lb and five inch height size difference wasn’t too much for Usyk!

    That was not a knockdown troll. Like I said earlier people like you will say or do anything just to be heard.

    Ggg lost 2x to a man pbf shut out let that sink in:deal:
    Usyk would fight a mma fighter in the ring for the money pbf made in that fight with Conor don't kid yourself. Also you make more money in boxing with these cross over fights than you do in mma rules that's why they all do boxing instead troll.

    Loma is also facing better and more skilled boxers than Usyk is facing. I think usyk has more dog in him than loma does though.

    Yeah Salido and Lopez are so skilled aren't they, Lopez can't cut the ring off and gets flummoxed by a basic jab.

    Salido was a savvy vet who knew every trick in the book a tall order for any fighter in their second pro fight.

    You mean like Chisora who Usyk faced in only his second fight at heavyweight, one of them solved the puzzle and got the W, the other didn't.

    Big difference in second fight as a pro and second in a new weightclass don't you think?

    As I am sure you well know Loma wasn't a normal amateur, he was vastly experienced by the time he turned pro which is why he dived straight in at the deep end. He achieved one of the best wins of his career in his very next fight after that loss.
