    And I thought the GGG vs Canelo 1 poll was one-sided. :eek:

    This pool is with a reason and proofs.
    Usyk is 1-1 vs Russo and Wilder 0-1 vs Russo.:)
    Also Usyk is 2-0 in ams vs then fresh Beterbiev who was 1X World Championship Gold medalist and 1X World Championship Silver medalist.
    Usyk was World level ammy elite boxer since 2006 th till 2012 th.

    Usyk would have beaten Wilder like Oliver Twist trying to sneak a second ration of stew at the poorhouse.

    Well, Usyk failed to get to the medal round of the 2008 Olympics where he would've faced Wilder next.

    And, even though he fought super heavyweights in the WSB, when he turned pro, Usyk decided to do so at cruiserweight instead of heavyweight where Wilder was WBC champion for five years.

    And, when Usyk did move up to heavyweight, he petitioned the WBO for a mandatory position, not the WBC, where Wilder was champ. Even though Usyk had the WBC cruiserweight belt, too, and the WBC would've likely accomodated him.

    So, you may think he has the requisite skills to beat Wilder. But he certainly has made zero attempt to do so.

    This definitely is proof that Usyk was worse amateur boxer than Wilder?
    Of course because he is from Ukraine for you doesn't matters that Usyk is 1-1 vs Russo and Wilder is 0-1 vs THE SAME boxer Russo.

    You normally do have dual standards and every one here does knows this.

    Why not? Your idol Wilder beated nonames and already then had one fight scheduled, not likely WBC had installed for Usyk fight vs Wilder instead of already approved fight.
    Then a bit later Wilder quickly scheduled fight with ring rusty Fury.

    Do you think that WBC had turned Wilder vs Fury 1 fight down and enforced Wilder to fight vs Usyk?
    You had forget that Wilder vs Fury 1 was December 2018 th not yesterday and Fury already was former multiple belts holder at HW division.

    You also do not pay any attention on merit in depth cos you are just Wilder fan.:)
    Usyk at CW was 7-0 in World Title fights with WBO title on line while if compare just 3-0 in fights with WBC World title on line.
    There for everyone with logical thinking is clear that based on title fights resume, Usyk had more merit in fights with WBO title on line.
    More achievements = more chances to get installed as mandatory in next weight class.


    Interestingly how much successful!!!!!!!!!!! attempts to fight vs well known in europe boxers Wilder did had?

    I will answer: 1 boxer: Tyson Fury.:) 1 during long years when he was WBC World title holder at HW division.
    Wilder NEVER fought any 1 single title unification fight vs full world champs from other orgs. Nada, 0.
    He did not fought vs A.J for example.
    I forget, looks that money offered not enough etc excuses.

    Uysk beating Wilder in the ams is a given. A pro fight at this stage would be similar except most if not all fans would be suffering from mini anxiety attacks everytime Wilder gets even remotely close with a right hand.
