''He's done it the hard way'' -- Andre ''Son of God'' Ward on Kovalev winning on the road

Well, everything Usyk has achieved, amateur and pro, has been done the hard way on the road

Olympic gold medalist
World Amateur Championships gold & bronze
European gold & bronze medalist

Won all those gold medals on the road

He was robbed in the 2008 Olympics against the eventual semi-finalist that year

WBC cruiserweight champion
WBA cruiserweight champion
IBF cruiserweight champion
WBO cruiserweight champion
WBA heavyweight champion
IBF heavyweight champion
WBO heavyweight champion

Hasn't lost a fight in a decade and even the guy who supposedly inflicted that last loss on him said he never beat Usyk and that he didn't fight him in that tournament so that would make Usyk not having lost in 13 years (all of which sans his first 9 fights as a pro) at the highest level

Unified the CW division in just 15 fights

Is a belt away from unifying two divisions in 19 fights winning all his world titles and unifying them all in his opponent's backyards

Ring Magazine champion at CW
Ranked #2 P4P by The Ring Magazine
Winner of the Muhammad Ali trophy

Beat

WBA, IBF and WBO champ AJ (24-1) in England
WBA and IBF champ Gassiev (26-0) in Russia
Beat WBC champ Briedis (23-0) in Latvia
Beat WBO champ Glowacki (26-0) in Poland
Beat former long reigning WBO champ Huck (40-4-1) in Germany
Beat former WBC champ Bellew (30-2-1) in England
Beat Michael Hunter (12-0) in the US
Beat Mchunu (17-2) on neutral soil
Beat Chisora (32-9) in England

He's fought a ton of serious bangers amateur and pro and not only never been dropped by a head shot but he's never been noticeably hurt

Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year (2018)
ESPN Fighter of the Year (2018)
Sports Illustrated Fighter of the Year (2018)
CBS Fighter of the Year (2018)
Boxing Writers Association of America Fighter of the Year (2018)
Boxing News Fighter of the Year (2018)

Very athletic, highly skilled, beautiful boxer, fast hands and feet, high ring IQ, superb footwork, punch variety, extremely smooth and fluid in his movement for a big man and just a supremely talented boxer with beautiful skills. He's also very humble and has an immensely likeable personality, is an absolute gent and a scholar both in and out of the ring, bags of charisma, and he is an utterly fearless road warrior who relies on clean boxing to win fights and zero deck-stacking and zero dice loading and on top of all that he's as funny as hell. No catchweights, judges in his pocket, rehydration clauses, PEDs. No stacked deck at all. Actually he does fight on a stacked deck - one which is stacked against him and he does it religiously.

He should be P4P #1

He lost by 3 points (20-23) and it was over in the US. Usyk is nine months older than Shawn Porter and didn't take up the sport until he was 15 y/o.

Porter took up boxing at the age of 4, started competing when he was 8, and he had over 100 amateur fights by the time he was 14 and probably had about 150 more by the time he fought Usyk five years later considering how he turned pro 22 months after facing him and his overall amateur record is 276–14. They fought in 2006 four years after Usyk first walked into a boxing gym 2002. This is the date of the earliest recorded amateur bout of Usyk's 2005-07-03 and he fought Porter in 2006-12-02.

I won't charge you a penny for performing this baptism on you

Right. Who cares about an amateur loss in 2006? Like you said it was close.
