    I'll join you. It's cool if Whyte loses, what excuse will Usyk fans use though?

    Whyte isn't being propped up as something he ain't.

    Usyk is the one being propped up.

    Hell of a dangerous debut at heavyweight if it happens. Though it makes the most sense with Russia and Ukraine basically at war with each other it would be a huge fight in both their respective home countries.

    If Usyk wins it immediately makes him a top contender for any of the top guys, though I'm sure some haters will crawl out of their basements and just say he beat an old and shot Povetkin or Joshua's leftovers.

    I think Usyk can win if he can make it into the later rounds, Povetkin faded badly vs Joshua he no longer has the stamina. But I can't see it being an easy fight at all for Uysk, Povetkin is very dangerous and his attacks are hard to read.

    Agreed, povetkin was very dangerous for 3 rounds against AJ then he was done. Might be a similar story with Usyk, I think Usyk will stop him late.

    Povetkin is a Russian hype job who never ever even in his prime beat a note worthy opponent unless Fatty Chambers is the stuff of legends.......he stepped up twice and got rag dolled twice.........he is the quintessential never was.

    Right, because seeing a 40 year old has been fighting an athletic prime fighter is supposed to be a 'great fight'?

    What relevance does him being a 'Russian' have with him being a hype job?

    Unfortunately I feel that this is the way it will go.

    If Usyk does happen to fight Povetkin, and if he wins, will you give him his credit?

    Come on then, answer! I want to know! So I ask again:

    What relevance does him being a 'Russian' have with him being a hype job?

    Povetkin poses very little to no threat to Usyk. Let's not get carried away here. This is a guy who failed to drop 2 journeymen in Christian hammer and Andriy Rudenko in combined 24 rounds in back to back fights. That's not the sign of someone who poses much, if any danger. Lest we not forget that Christian Hammer also has a glass jaw and was already knocked out clean by Mariusz Wach and dropped multiple times by Tyson Fury but Povetkin still couldn't even score a single knockdown over this glass jaw. So what should that tell us about Povetkin in terms of the threat he poses? It tells us Povetkin poses very little to no threat whatsoever.

    Usyk already has my credit.

    I tried calling my bank to report it as stolen.. but some woman started laughing on the phone and I heard a manly foreign voice go 'I am very feel'

    Nah banter aside I already respect Usyk either way.

    I can't believe it's taken this long for Povetkin and Usyk to get a fight.... it's already Mid-February, and Povetkin announced he met with Hearn back in November and he said that they are talking about organizing a fight for April. SO negotiations are lasting already 3 months? shouldn't be that difficult. same with Usyk, he signed with Matchroom back in December, and fight announcement was supposed to come 2 weeks after Tony Bellew fight.... very strange how absurdly long this is all taking.

    You can throw as much shade as you want at his fanboys, post videos in an attempt to shame us. You can hope and dream and pray with your fingers and your toes crossed, for Oleksandr Usyk to lose.

    But in the end, there's nothing in the world as embarrassing as this....... You're a Dillian Whyte fanboy.:risas3:
