    Remind him that Sam Landford fought Harry Wills 15 times and that Ezzard Charles fought Archie Moore 5 times.

    For one very simple reason that he himself has admitted to many times.

    He's feel.

    Usyk has had a grand total of ZERO home country refs and a combined 2 home country judges for all of his world title fights and since he moved up to the world level, after his 9th fight

    It's not like how they do across the pond where their boys are very often fighting on a stacked deck of a home country ref and three home country judges for world title fights vs foreigners

    Zero home country refs and a combined 2 home country judges for your world title fights is like a complete inversion of how they do it over there

    Their boys can get their ass whooped and win via shutout and masterclass thanks to that heavily rigged deck :facepalm:

    It’s crazy man. I would really love to see Usyk defend against Parker right in The Ukraine smack dab in his hometown. With at least two Ukrainian judges and even a Ukrainian ref. :lol: I don’t care, he’s earned some hometown cooking and scorecards that ACTUALLY tell the true story of the fight!

    No more of those FELDMAN type paid off idiots that actually scored the fight for joshua against Usyk :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm: Should be investigated and fined

    :lol: Yes, but maybe Belly instead. He can have his trilogy fight vs Usyk in Ukraine with a Ukrainian ref and three Ukrainian judges he didn't have a problem doing the equivalent of that in the US x 2 vs The Dosser. He wouldn't even fight Usyk over there, let alone on a stacked deck like that

    Giving AJ 5 rounds in the first fight was egregious enough, let alone 7 in the rematch. Seven obviously meaning AJ won the fight :facepalm:

    It's notable though that in the boxing world, people fall off their chairs when they witness anyone perform over the age of 35. 38? 38? Oh my god, oh my god. He should be in a hospice in a wheelchair.

    At 42+, I could understand, when the body starts to feel the damage of time, but just barely. Anyone below that age can perform like any other young man. If not, it means he is 'shot' or has fought too much, or has mistrained his body to the point of injury.

    IDK if I agree w that. More popular? Definitely. Wlad had Povetkin and Hayes but that was really. Dont forget, Wilder was literally a SPARRING PARTNER for Wlad and Deontay got ragdolled. That same Wilder was a prominent HW in this era...what's that say about the era??

    Langford has like 100 quality wins at HW. Usyks got 8.

    Langfords over 8 inches shorter than Usyk.
