Nelson is basing this of one fight where in his opinion Usyk was slightly behind on points prior to sparking his opponent out in spectacular fashion.

Just ignore the fact Usyk is a

Olympic gold medalist
World amateur gold medalist
European gold medalist

Was robbed in quarter finals of the 2008 Olympics and very likely would've gone onto win gold had he not been as his two opponents would've stood no chance of beating him, one of them being a dosser from Tuscaloosa who Usyk would've literally toyed with

Won all his fights in the WSB up at SHW against giants who he was giving away huge physical advantages to

Usyk 211lbs - Nistor 233lbs
Usyk 213lbs - Modugno 277lbs
Usyk 210lbs - Majidov 235lbs
Usyk 211lbs - Joyce 238lbs
Usyk 209lbs - Brechlin 263lbs
Usyk 208lbs - Fa 246lbs

Majidov is a 3 x world amateur gold medalist at SHW
Joyce is an Olmpic silver medalist who was robbed of gold
Nistor was also an elite SHW and he knocked out AJ

WBC, WBA, IBF & WBO undisputed CW champion in just 15 fights

Three-belt unified HW champion in just 19 fights

Won, defended, and unified all his world titles in his opponent's backyards sans once when he made his first defence on neutral turf

Every single one of his world title fights and fights since moving up to the world level bar one have been in his opponent's backyards

Trust me that poop matters, so much so that so called have gloves won't travel greats categorically refused to ever do once what he does religiously and most wouldn't dare even contemplate doing near as often as he's done

In fact, he won all his medals at major tournaments on the road too

In complete contrast, and I do mean complete, to all his peers across the pond he's only had one home judge for any of his world title fights and zero refs. Again, trust me that really matters and it's had a huge effect on the course of boxing history and indeed the current P4P rankings

Fans of many of his peers want to hang a medal of honor around the neck of their current favs for daring to do once what Usyk has done for every single one of his fights at the world level. I kid thou not

And he's won all his fights with zero deck stacking, zero trying to gain an advantage at the negotiating table, either fair or unfair, and via the application of the sweet science and good clean boxing not cheating


Weird take. Very weird
