Similar to you but still think usyk will win but at nearly 39 and been round the clock with hundreds of fights plus moving up in weight and fighting alot bigger men it has to take its toll? I'm looking forward to the daniel lapin fight? Keep us posted on it all and the atmosphere etc hope it's brilliant heard 90000 sold out Edited Friday at 18:23 by dodger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

See, this is where I REALLY don't go with this 'usyk is old' nonsense. Yes he's older than dubois, but is 38 at heavyweight really 'old?' Of course it's not. Let's just remember, not really that long ago, BIG george foreman regained the heavyweight championship of the world at 45, in FAR worse fitness etc than what usyk keeps himself at year round, week in week out. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waltjnr 7,885 Posted Friday at 19:19 Report Share Posted Friday at 19:19 Is all this a corrupt money making exercise, boxing In general ,just seems a pantomime, more talking bollox than fighting, ticks promoters boxes I guess Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just think for all them hundreds of fights plus moving up and sustaining that standard of activity he has isn't easy compared to say parker who's 6 year younger but one fight a year now but let's see tomorrow im saying usyk but I don't think he needed to fight ddd again he's done enough to retire but here we are and may the best man win mate I'm looking forward to it and the other fights.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In my own mind, mate I think usyk is the classiest boxer EVER to lace up a pair of gloves. He holds himself with class, poise and dignity, like no other boxer I've ever seen. The man is, and should be, the model that young up and coming boxers, of any weight, aspire to. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
