    Much more money at HW. If he goes straight for AJ, Fury and Klitschko.

    He made plenty now as well. If you know what your doing money will flow anyway.

    Yes. This is why I want him to retire after the rematch against his gypsy son Belly

    Around the time he KO'd Bellew for me.
    Watching that live I knew on some level that I was watching a man at the absolute peak of his powers, a once in a lifetime talent at the very top of his game.

    His physical peak was probably in the amateurs; as a pro it was most likely against Gassiev.

    He threw 930 punches in that fight and Gassiev only really tagged him once that I remember. Offensively and defensively bestial. That is his Ali-Williams, Tyson-Berbick performance.

    I don't care if it was at cruiser, only another great heavy having a divinely inspired night could have been competitive that night.

    And if the pork belly slice fight doesn't actually happen ( shite happens), I'd still like to see the main man bow out.

    He doesn't need these extra shifts ..

    Same here and no he doesn't

    Belly doesn't even deserve a rematch, especially given how he messed Usyk around for years and stalled his career and how unfair and unreasonable he was at the negotiating table

    I am bothered that he may do it for the rematch. The Fairy Queen is very unstable.

    As far as returned all round decency compared to Pork slice' efforts were concerned, I absolutely agree with you ,squire.

    I can clearly remember the nasty shite pot belly pork came out with in the first negotiations ( can't find it on YouTube ATM, tried ). But it showed you his true colours at that particular time.

    It wasn't just professional banter, it was fat bollocks showing his true nasty colours. THAT was the time I gave up on him as a fan...and trust me, as I'm sure you know, I've really seen it all...

    So, if I were Usyk, yeah, do a number on Fat bollocks and leave him at the alter ....

    ;)

    Yes, it really was, squire, and he really did show his true colours

    Same here, that's when he lost me as a fan too

    Usyk is far too nice and forgiving
