Usyk fanboys are getting out of control

[davef]

I wouldn't know where to place him in the all time heavyweights he is a bit of an anomaly.

He will go down with legendary status though especially if he doesn't hang around too long

[mlac]

remember the fury bumboys who proclaimed him the GOAT that would easily destroy Ali and everyone in history. the slickest most charismatic fighter ever!

He is easily a top 10 all-time HW. Why is he not top 10 because his resume doesn't have 20 odd journeymen on? Quality>quantity.
Most of these top 10 lists through right or wrong have guys like Tyson, James J Jeffries and Vitali on.
That is on top of being the #1 CW ever and clearing then what was arguably the toughest division in the whole sport.

I don't see it as out of control he just become undisputed at two weights.
Cleared CW when it was full of monsters, was written off about his chances at HW and went up and whooped all of the top guys at an advanced age despite giving up huge size disadvantages.
He deserves all the praise he gets. *Floyd Mayweather voice* Helluva fighter!

Personally speaking, there's a strong argument for Top 20 / Top 25 status. EOD, who cares where he's ranked? It's all opinion and subjective.

[Lomadeaux]

Usyk is without a doubt one of the best heavies of all time. Who is dis*****g this?

[Songbird]

it happens when guys win big fights, when bud beat spence he was skyhigh, inoune has the same things at times, canelo a lot, fury had it for a while, aj even a bit, u are often only as good as your last fight, one step away from hype job status & wilder too

[QueensburyRules]

- - Oracle leaking thru his holes over Usyk…priceless!!!

[ippo]

He matches up with the very best of the heavyweight division of all time. He belongs at the top 5 of boxing heavyweight history.

[HandsofIron]

Usyk cleaned out a stacked, Cruiserweight division, moved up to Heavyweight and cleaned that up too (minus a Deontay Wilder fight but that guy has been getting KO left and right lately lol)

Also, this is a Heavyweight division filled with tall, super giants who all out weighted the smaller Usyk by 30-55 lbs.

Usyk is that d00d, mane.

They are now calling him a top 10 HW of all time and likely beating any HW that lived, based on 7 fights at HW and beating up two overhyped UK fighters. Its comical. They are also trying to pretend his run at cruiser counts as HW compared to the 70s and that even Briedis would be a top 70s HW. Even calling usyk an ATG is too much imo for a guy with only 23 pro fights and a resume that is strong but not spectacular. These fan boys might overtake the Canelo ones.

It is only the Hardcore Fury fans, and the media machine which has created propaganda, and narratives to boast Tyson Fury 'Who now all of a sudden? They are claiming that Oleksandr Uysk is one of the greatest heavyweight fighters of all-times'.

Anthony Joshua was mocked for being beaten by Oleksandr Uysk I & II 'He was criticized for the tactics, he used in both fights. But? When we look back in retrospect at Joshua's efforts, in my opinion he fought a more balanced and overall better fight vs Oleksandr Uysk I & II'.

Joshua clearly fought Oleksandr Uysk when he was at his absolute peak 'Uysk in his two fights vs Fury, has been unable to throw over 500 punches. Against Joshua? Oleksandr Uysk threw over 700 punches in their rematch'.

And people need to factor this in? The highest amount of punches, Uysk landed on Anthony Joshua 'Was during their rematch. 170 Punches. The highest amount of punches Uysk landed on Tyson Fury, was 179 punches during their rematch. Oleksandr Uysk was also able to land 170 punches on Tyson Fury in their first fight'.

Oleksandr Uysk in order to land that amount of punches on Anthony Joshua 'Uysk needed to throw over 300 more punches, than he did vs Fury in both fights.That statistics show that Uysk was having to produce a greater effort, to land punches vs Joshua than Fury'.

When Oleksandr Uysk fought Anthony Joshua with a similar work rate to that which we saw vs Tyson Fury 'Uysk landed 148 punches on Joshua'.

So overall Oleksandr Uysk over the 24 rounds he competed against Joshua 'Was unable to hurt him anywhere near to the level that he did against Tyson Fury, and he never backed Anthony Joshua up or pushed him around the ring like he did vs Tyson Fury'.

Oleksandr Uysk was able to land more punches on Tyson Fury, and hurt him with less effort 'In the 24 rounds that they fought, compared to the 24 rounds vs Anthony Joshua I & II'.

The only reason in my opinion, why Oleksandr Uysk has claimed that Tyson Fury 'Was his most difficult fight, is because? Uysk's levels have decreased in my opinion. So, the perception of efforts are most likely giving him that level of feedback during the fight'.

Note: 'Oleksandr Uysk is the most accomplished active fighter in the entire sport of boxing, and pound for pound 'His wins over both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, are the greatest feats of achievement in the sport of boxing in the last 15 years'. But I believe the genuine all-time great super heavyweight fighters of the sport, would not find such a stylistic encounter a mighty struggle to the same level that both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have thus far in their careers.

Uysk has definitively been fortunate to appear in the Heavyweight division, during this boxing era 'He has exploited these modern day super heavyweight fighters, with the fundaments of boxing. His overall conditioning and endurance, and then just minimizing the frequency of unforced errors, technical mistakes produced during his fights'.

This statistics of his fights at Heavyweight display this trend and trajectory 'Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Derek Chisora and even Daniel Dubois. Were all able to compete with Oleksandr Uysk skill for skill to varied degrees, win rounds or force him to produce a extreme effort in order to win those rounds. The reason why every single one of those fighters lost vs Oleksandr Uysk was exactly the same. As the fight progressed, their endurance levels was exploited and they began to produce a higher frequency of unforced errors and technical mistakes. Contrary to certain media narratives, Oleksandr Uysk has very rarely needed to adjust or acutely adapt in his fights at Heavyweight.

To conclude: Uysk in all of his top level Heavyweight fights, has persevered during the first half of the fights. And then when his opponent's endurance levels have decreased, and with that a higher frequency of unforced errors and technical mistakes have been produced. Oleksandr Uysk vs Fury, Joshua, Chisora and Dubois was then able to accumulate points, win rounds and even sometimes force a stoppage'. It was not really in my opinion, a high level sophisticated adjustment or acute adaptation which won Uysk all of those fights. It was quite simply Oleksandr Uysk maintaining his form and solid boxing fundamentals with a very high level of acuity'.

Those type of performances are still awesome from Oleksandr Uysk skill for skill, and from a share physiological perspective 'But it is not to the level what Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao used to do in their fights. It is not to the level of what Muhammad Ali did during the Rumble in the Jungle vs George Foreman'.

In my opinion, we are not witnessing pure creative boxing genius from Oleksandr Uysk 'What we are observing is a fighter, who has been trained systematically to master the basic fundamentals of the sport. Uysk and his team have then combined and integrated those skills with supreme conditioning and a solid level of Athletic ability. Oleksandr Uysk then executes tactically very straight forward fundamentals fights, but with a very high level of endurance and acuity. That has been enough for him to beat the best Super Heavyweight fighters from this boxing era'.

Oleksandr Uysk is an all time great fighter, but as an all-time great Heavyweight fighter 'Skill for skill, and from a share physiological perspective. In my opinion he would of had to of produced greater fights, in order to dominate and be a Champion during those past eras' etc.
