Olympic Gold Medal at Heavyweight 2012. Won WBC,WBA,WBO,IBF, Ring Magazine Cruiserweight titles. Won WBSS Cruiserweight tournament. Fought his last 6 big named opponents all in their back yards (Bellew, Gassiev, Briedis, Huck, Hunter, Glowacki). Throws up to 1000 punches a fight with a come forward, aggressive style. Did all this in 16 fights, didn't duck anyone or pad record with bums. He is also a nice guy.
You’re not a true boxing fan if you have a problem with Usyk. He conducts himself with class and not like some lowlife *****. He is a top PFP fighter as well as a road warrior. This content is protected
I love Usyk, but he's only just inside of my current top5 favorites, and I'm not even bothered by national bias. I can certainly imagine he isn't in there for some. There are a lot of high quality, likable boxers out there at the moment, and we see a shift in attitude in some divisions with the best actually fighting the best. There's no valid reason to dislike Usyk, so much is true, but he isn't a lock for every top5.
Usyk is in my top 3 for sure. He has dominated the cruiserweight division and beaten some real beasts on the road doing it. I have't seen anything like it in any division in decades!
