    Oh I never said otherwise, nor did I even suggest it either. All I said is, we need to wait and see how he does there before properly judging him.

    Fury's got bigger fish to fry at moment. It's all about Fury, AJ and Wiler right now.

    If Usyk lives up to the hype and build up his profile, his time wifi come and the big boys will give him his shot. For the right price of course

    Boring? Watching Usyk is like watching poetry in motion, even more so when he's in the ring with someone whose style contrasts with his own. I love 2Fast but don't agree with him here. Each to his own though.

    What if he feels like a female inside?

    I`m not being nasty or homophobic but Ray was abused sexually by an olympic amateur coach when he was 15, so that joke isn`t that funny, Ray was pretty soft outside of the ring.

    Sad, but not as tragic as you make it sound. 15 is not a baby.

    Usyk is 33 years old. Assuming he fights three times a year, how long do you expect the guy to wait before he gets a title shot? Most unified champs don’t have to work their way up. If he beats Chisora, I expect him to fight for a belt next fight. Maybe the one after next, worst case scenario. Ward could have fought for a belt at LH after a long absence from the sport, he chose to have a couple tine his to knock off the rust. Crawford fought for a belt at WW without working his way up. Loma fought for a belt at LW in his first fight at the weight. Usyk is too old to wait. If he’s going to be successful, he needs a championship fight within the next year or sooner.

    a guy who relies on speed and agility and is fighting much bigger heavier opponents probably can’t fight them at 40 years old. He can but will probably lose. Usyk’s time is now or never.

    Doh! You are correct. Still no spring chicken but low miles on the engine.

    I think they are both boring and over hyped.

    Low miles on the tank? He's a product of that Ukranian EE amateur boxing system. I'd be surprised if he hasn't trained like a dog since childhood. How many ameturr
    amateur fights did he have?

    He was fighting since he was very young. I bet he has a couple hundred fights and lots of time in the gym. He’s in great shape and doesn’t seem to have any issue outside the ring (like drinking too much or getting fat between fights). The guy is still on the wrong side of 30 and I bet he doesn’t fight for too many years at HW, even if he’s successful. Things could get difficult once he starts slowing down and they all slow down eventually. Hope we get to see some good fights while he’s at the weight. If Usyk beats the top guys, he’s PFP in my book. Giving up more weight and size than anyone in boxing.
