Oleksandr Usyk respect thread

Okey, there is giraffe, talented and physically gifted boxer. One dimensional and predictable. Now Giraffe is nervous, not possible to tell how motivated he will be to prepare for next fights.

 

Usyk simply hasn't done anything yet in the heavyweight division to warrant any accolades.

 

Fought at a lower division its very hard to label as a Heavyweight, otherwise James Toney, Roy Jones Jr....etc

Usyk at Cruiser is already legendary, whatever he does at Heavyweight will influence the future relationship between Cruiserweights and Heavyweights, maybe he can chin all the Heavyweight...we don't know...Not everybody is as reckless as Andy Ruiz...So it remains to be seen

 

Big fan of Usyk but the clock’s ticking on him. At 34, he has the wear and tear of 350 amateur fights including an Olympic cycle. Plus 18 pro fights that include 7 world title fights. He’s not a huge puncher, so he has miles on the clock and the body is breaking down. He can’t afford to waste 2021 waiting around. I think he could have beaten both AJ and Fury but as he’ll not realistically be getting the chance until late 2022 so it makes me think he won’t.

 

actually Usyk had been down by slip when was a bit too close vs Briedis. Briedis is dude who really never was down not in ammies nor semi pro nor pros.

Usyk ofc was damn better Olympic rules boxer than Briedis ( this guy was mainly KBer in amateurs so not comparable vs Usyk ammy boxing experience level ).

Glowacki Poland fight was real fight in opponent's hometown vs then undefeated 26-0-0 Glowacki 30 y.o version.
These other marquee fights were in WBSS with no local refs, judges and inspectors.
backyards phrase is just empty PR if talk is about WBSS fights.

Still yeah, Usyk was damn cool in ammies too, I had watched this guy in ammy also as junior boxer.
In CW pros prime Usyk version was really most mobile and fast, also highly skilled boxer.

For his style speed and agility matters a lot and therefore aging matters a lot there.
If he was 27-30 y.o now.....damn how cool boxer he might be to watch.
Like 30-31 y.o Briedis versions too were most watchable.

 

Yeah, Usyk had fought in amateurs everyone he he been given to fight with, then in semi pro WBS, later in CW pro WBSS tournament.

Usyk wasn't cherry picker old fighters beater to get surnames on resume for fanbase. Unlike this bodybuilder kid.

 

Usyk is a guy who will always move and jab and clip rounds off against plodders, like he did at cruiser against Gassiev and Glowacki, and at heavyweight against Chazz and Chisora.

It's just busy work to him. Keep the hands moving. Keep the feet moving. Win rounds. Move on. It's like amateur boxing to him. He can do it in his sleep.

The guys who aren't plodders, however, who don't just put their gloves up and try to get inside, will give him problems, like Briedis did.

Unfortunately for Usyk, Fury and Joshua aren't plodders. So I don't see him getting close to beating either. Or a guy like Wilder or Parker or Povetkin, either. He'd probably do okay against Ruiz (who can stink out the joint on occasion with his lack of effort).

If he was around back in the mid 2000s when Rahman and John Ruiz and even Byrd (who was like Usyk-Lite) were sluggishly passing belts around, I think Usyk could've won everything. Not today, though.

 

I don't even understand what the ****ing argument is here?

The fact of the matter is someone is claiming he's one of the most skilled heavyweights around despite not fighting anyone.

How does bringing up Pulev prove or disprove anything?

Is it an argument against Joshua for fighting him?

All I'm saying is wait until he's ****ing fought someone close to top 10 quality before calling him great at this level.

 

****in this is beacuse you are ****in poster.
You maybe compare boxer's skills regardless from their size.
Let's place vs Dorticos prime Floyd Jr or Canelo, he will beatup them till ICU. Cos he is larger and might deliver them flying out of the ring thanks to size difference alone.
Does this means that they are lesser skilled than he? Really?

Seriously, 39 y.o Pulev version like he was vs A.J also Usyk, Briedis, Dorticos had stopped in distance.
If you snob ***** pupp do think that Dorticos or Briedis does beat less hard than 39 y.o Pulev just because his size you are an idiot.

Yes, your puppy A.J should had Usyk not Pulev to prove anything in the ring.
Too much fear for pupp fabboy in internet?
Even supposed easy nights in the office vs not enough old for A.J Ruiz had delivered us nice lesson about A.J.
Also how A.J gassed vs Pulev and then his gas tank had worked again later.


Rude A.J fan you are, nothing more.
If you do think that Pulev when 39 y.o is more dangerous than Usyk, Ruiz or Briedis or Dorticos, you simply are stupid.

 

Idiot....

 

Not you

 

Wlad and Fury, also Ruiz and Briedis are more comfortable with clinches than Usyk and some other boxers.

Klitshko also were active when they were past 36-37.
Too early to evalue.

Usyk really was cool ammy and WBS, then WBSS pro boxer at CW.
Now looks that out of prime, still some heritage values does work for him.
