Usyk's Heavyweight Run is grossly overrated

Look at this rabid Usyk hater bawling his baba tears all over the forum again. Those tears are like nectar to me

Oldest undisputed HW champion of all time

2nd oldest unified HW champion of all time

5th oldest HW champion of all time

Never been knocked down as a pro

Never been knocked out

Never even been badly hurt as a pro

Won and unified all his world titles in his opponent's backyards sans his last title which if we're being honest might as well have been in his opponent's backyard

He has never had home advantage in a single one of his world title fights or fights at the world level with the exception of once and that was fought in a neighbouring country to his own so it's not actually his home country

He has always sought out the best and has never ducked anyone

Not only that but he has routinely sought out the best in their backyards where the deck is stacked against him or heavily against him

He wins all his fights via clean boxing. No fouling, no deck-stacking, no ducking certain styles or punchers, no stinking out the joint, no refusing to sign on the dotted line unless the playing field is stacked in his favour

He's been exemplary and everything he has achieved amateur and pro has not only been achieved the right and honourable way but it's also been achieved the hard way, treading a path so many others and other greats would never even contemplate treading


Every world class opponent he's fought was 36 or younger and let's not forget he was almost 35 when he won his 1st HW world title and 37 when he unified the division

AJ 31 and 32
Belly 35 and 36
Dubois 25 and 27
Chisora 36
Gassiev 24
Briedis 33
Huck 32
Glowacki 30
Bellew 35
Hunter 28
Mchunu 28

All of them beaten in their backyards or on the road sans Dubois 1 which, again, was in Poland

Belly, AJ II, Mchunu were on neutral soil but the first two weren't really neutral if we're being honest and he was robbed by one of the judges in the AJ fight and also by one of the judges in the Belly fight too

He beat 7 of the 8 world champions he's fought in their backyards, the 8th being Belly in Saudi and the only reason he didn't beat him in the UK at least once too is because Belly ducked fighting him over here

There is never no

''That guy's too big''

''I need the deck stacked in my favour before I sign on the dotted line''

''I'm not fighting him in his backyard''

''I need home refs and judges to fight that guy''

''That guy hits too hard''

With Usyk

Apply the aforementioned to your current favs and so many of those who came before him and see how ill-fitting the shoe is

Regardless of what happens from here on out no man in the history of the sport can ever boast of beating a prime Usyk

Feel that burn
