This is what I don't get with people Usyk is not your friend or family member all this cringe talk I keep hearing. "He deserves an easy fight." "It's acceptable because Wilder is a big pay day." This is all nonsense talk are people a fan of the sport ? Or just want to be fan boys ? Because I'm not a fan of 1 fight per year with a totally pointless fight against a 40 year old shot irrelevant Heavyweight who is 2-4 in his last 6 fights. People need to stop with these fan boy views and just call out BS when it's warranted.
I notice that win got Wilder ranked #13 by the WBC. Just within the top 15 which would allow Usyk to make a title defence. Oh Sulaiman, the cheeky chap Someone is definitely investing money in this fight
Actually Paul would probably gather a bigger crowd than Usyk in America but that's besides the point. We're talking about Wilder.
So Wilder isn't a draw, which means it shouldn't matter who Usyk fights then? Good. He can fight one of his mandatories instead.
@Kiwi Casual @MaccaveliMacc @Dynamicpuncher @mrbigshot Usyk would stack Kabayel, Wardley, and Parker on top of one another and swallow them like soup all in the same evening. Stop sending out your mediocre fighters and trying to smear Usyk’s legacy—it’s laughable.
So a 40 year old unranked shot Wilder who is 2-4 in the past 7 years is a better opponent ? Stop the cap. No one is saying Usyk wouldn't beat those fighters ? So what are you even talking about ? The issue is a Heavyweight champion fighting once a year and his only fight will be against a totally a totally shot 40 year old Wilder for the next 365 days. How can you be a fan of the sport and be happy with a Heavyweight champion fighting once a year and worse yet fighting against a a totally shot unranked opponent ?
Kabayel is potentially better than anyone he fought at heavyweight, and Usyk's legacy at heavyweight consists of 3 ranked opponents.
