    Kovalev seems to be doing fine at 32 and he turned pro at......26, Usyk was 27. Usyk probably has a good 10 years left in him, especially with his style, he protects himself quite well and doesn't usually take very much damage.

    :lol::lol::lol:

    Yeah too bad amateurs don't mean much, in a professional boxing match I'd still put my money on Artur. Considering the fact there is a height and reach difference. The head pads save your ass Usyk, without it you're looking at a good night sleep in the hospital and maybe a concussion.

    Beterbiev ftw>

    Usyk fought against huge Heavyweights without headgear at the WSB like Mezhidov who was rocking Joshua left and right and Usyk took his punches just fine. Usyk would still boxed Beterbiev's ears off even now.

    I normally don't pay much attention to your ranting and raving about different fighters but I happened to watch this one and I must admit that I like the young man's style. It's a style that I haven't seen in years. Most all the fighters in my old gym had that style and was recognized by it. It is an amateur style but a very successful one and with some tweaking can be a very successful professional one as well.

    Usyk beat big HWs like Medhzidov who has Monster power, Modugno who had 12 pro fights back then, and Joyce another big, powerful HW. All without headgear. He beats Beterbiev anytime, an a better prospect than him.

    It better not be in South Africa because even if Usyk stops Muller he'll end up losing a close decision.:-(

    Yeah Masternak dropped him twice and basically won every round and Muller won by SD.
