It's time to start respecting Oleksander Usyks greatness

[Mujeriego]

I think it's time we start showing a lot of respect to this man.
Canelo was the man up to 2021.
After that, it has to be Usyk.
Cant argue it. Can't deny it. There is no other way around it.
The man is the best boxer in the world.
The way he gives his glory to God.
He kneeled and prayed after he won.
God is with him.

When I know someone is Ukrainian or from the Ukraine, and they come in my hotel. I always bring up Usyk and Loma.
They always know who they are.
A beautiful people they are.
Congratulations to Ukraine and congratulations to Oleksander Usyk.

Tonight is dedicated to him and his people.

I can relate. Whenever I see a Black guy, I always bring up Eddie Murphy and Michael Jordan. They love it.

You couldn't name more than 5 Ukrainians.
Every one of them, are very proud of their people.
I'm very proud of my people (Mexicans).
Maybe that's why we get along so well.
We are connected to our family. We are connected to God.
We are very similar in certain respects.
Maybe your are not.

A true student of the game. Usyk is going down as one the GOAT in boxing. His record speaks for itself.

To be fair, Loma and Usyk are like heroes in their country and probably because of the war, they're in need of heroes now more than ever. Every single Ukrainian I spoke to know these two, even women who don't care about boxing. And I met a lot of them.

One of the best ever. Top. On his personal side dont think u can find a more polite, measured and humble champion.

Hes been at ATG status for a while now.

At this point it'd be more than fine for him to ride off into the sunset.

 

[Blastbeat]

According to a bunch of armchair experts he was never good and he has beaten no one

Good thing those people's opinions are shit. Usyk's the best HW of this era and has cemented ATG status.

 

[Hagler]

He good.

If he beat Joseph Parker, Martin Bakole and Jai Opetaia he is in top 5 boxers ever for me.

eh, beating 3 nobodies elevates him in status to you?

 

[BIKES!]

If he beat Joseph Parker, Martin Bakole and Jai Opetaia he is in top 5 boxers ever for me.

Also has to beat Slappy, Billy, One-eyed Frank and Stitches to hit my list.

At this moment, who could contribute more to his legacy? Parker, if he beats Dubois, would significantly elevate his position over the boxers he hasn't defeated so far. Bakole is the stylistic worst match up that suits him the least, so if he overcomes someone like that, he would surely be considered the best boxer of this decade. Opetaia remains the only true challenge in the cruiserweight division and an S class boxer in that weight class.

Who is a bigger challenge than the ones mentioned? Big brain.
Wilder? Joyce? Zhilei Zhang?

Sure it’d be nice to see Usyk fight a few more times but none of those fight improve his current resume and he probably is ready to retire now on top

They would definitely add to his status to some degree, but the reward is not really worth the risk for a 37 year old in the twilight of his career. His cruiserweight run + Fury x2, AJ x2, Dubois and Del Boy is more than enough.

 

[Versez]

Usyk is probably the all-time best heavyweight now...i place him before or second to Ali...

 

[treelo]

this is an odd thread this, who doesnt respect what Usyk has acheived?

i dont think ive ever seen a single post from anyone ever shitting on what he has done, he is universally praised

 

[aries]

I said this years ago, he's the greatest HW of modern times since he moved up. Some doubters were saying they couldn't see what was so special about him, even describing him as 'meh...' Well I hope you can admit that you were entirely wrong. But probably not....
