    People still think Usyk became the best HW in the world after beating the bodybuilder

    Silly people

    Really it has more to do with disliking for Fury...because I like Usyk. I like him a lot and have watched all his fights amateur and pro but I know when he gets put in front of a mammoth of Fury's calibre it will be deep end swimming throughout. He'd beat Wilder round after round also but 1 punch and it would be night night. Even off the guard which Usyk has a bad habit of allowing because he's a natural pressure fighter at heart.

    Dude, stop.

    Inoue-Usyk is more likely to happen than Usyk-Fury. Fury is TERRIFIED of Usyk and same as Floyd being terrified of prime Pac.

    Absolutely false. But we all know why it has to be Usyk or Wlad in your mind.

    Usyk landed far more shots than AJ`s last two opponents and only has a 78 inch reach, he will always look human at heavyweight because of his small size for a modern heavy.

    He is not that small.

    Taller and has more reach than Ruiz, same reach as Ortiz, same size as Parker and have more reach than him.

    Sanchez and Anderson are also almost same size.

    Usyk didn`t rely on power at cruiser and doesn`t punch hard enough at heavyweight compared to Ruiz who I think could beat him despite Usyk being more skilled, he`s also more skilled than all ther other heavyweights you mention but Ortiz has a more cautious style than Usyk who constantly goes on the attack probing for openings, Parker isn`t a top heavyweight, maybe his losses were due to his size but in any case he`s nowhere near Usyk`s level at all, that AJ fights proved that.

    The reason AJ doesn't look like a god anymore is because of Usyk's 2 wins

    Yep.

    Reminds me of Tyson. The Douglas loss didn't seem to effect him much even though he never got to avenge it. I guess he felt/told himself that lack of preparation was the issue and that he still showed heart in knocking Douglas down and going out on his shield.

    The two losses to Holy, though, seemed to have a real psychological effect. He was really just going through the motions after that and making every fight into a bit of **** show with his antics.

    I don't think there is too much you can read either way with these two performances.. he got the job done both times , that's it.. he needs a big time opponent again, then we can better gauge.. but the problem with Joshua is he still doesn't know his identity as a fighter.. but regardless , the Usyk wins were quality.. the fact is the Ukrainian stepped up a division and fought a top 3 HW with a huge size advantage & establishment backing & put on a clinic, making him mentally implode at ringside lol.. he may have been damaged goods but wasn't Spence? He can barely string a sentence together or go 4 rounds without spitting out his mouth piece these days.. all wins can be critiqued.. you think Crawford has faced the size deficits Usyk or Loma has? Has he fk

    I'm just happy I don't see his coupon on adverts anymore. Corporate land only like lovable losers like big Frank and not pretend gangsta losers. Anyway, thank you Oleksandr.

    Ruiz damaged Joshua but Usyk took all the confidence away. Getting knocked out is 10000x better than giving it 100% and losing convincingly twice, AJ is the type of guy who gets motivation from striving to be the best, after he lost to Ruiz he won the rematch 12-0 and he still believed he was the best.

    Usyk beat a very well prepared AJ twice by a decision. That's mentally destroying
