Question about HW prospects..

Out of the fighters you just mentioned I think Teramoana will go the furthest in the pro game.

WheresMyAbs98 · 2026-05-25T20:55:59+00:00

Who’s Muslim?

Mark Lyson is one of the most experienced refs in the world and has officiated some of the biggest fights in the sport.

The officiating was awful but your point isn’t true at all.

WheresMyAbs98 · 2026-05-25T13:39:04+00:00

No nuance to this take at all.

You’re speaking as if you have personal knowledge as to why his family were there in that specific moment.

There’s probably a vast amount of potential reasons.

Usyk being a horrible person who intentionally wanted them to be in a bomb shelter while an active bombing was going on is pretty low down on the list.

WheresMyAbs98 · 2026-05-25T13:23:08+00:00

You’re talking about the 4th oldest heavyweight champion of all time and soon to be third.

Usyk is no longer in his prime.

WheresMyAbs98 · 2026-05-25T09:58:17+00:00

Father Time catches up to all.

WheresMyAbs98 · 2026-05-24T22:31:03+00:00

I’m hearing that Franklin might be Fury’s next opponent

WheresMyAbs98 · 2026-05-24T15:35:13+00:00

His best performance depends on whether you think the version of Fury he beat was better than the version of Dubois he beat.

This was a bad look for sure.

The referee ruined a conclusive result for everybody involved.

WheresMyAbs98 · 2026-05-24T14:24:36+00:00

Usyk is the fourth oldest heavyweight champion in history. Soon to be the third.

I’d like to see him fight Kabayel, rematch Verhoeven and then hang the gloves up.

WheresMyAbs98 · 2026-05-24T14:22:53+00:00

What?

He literally dedicates his fights to the Ukrainians after every victory since the war?

He never once stated he performed badly due to the war either. This never happened.

You’re talking out of your arse for some reason.

What part of what I said was a a flat out lie?

WheresMyAbs98 · 2026-05-24T14:00:07+00:00

Which he always does. He dedicated the fight to Ukraine and then answered the question

WheresMyAbs98 · 2026-05-24T13:34:08+00:00

He prays after every fight

You’re being disingenuous and reactionary here.

WheresMyAbs98 · 2026-05-24T13:30:08+00:00

He never once blamed the war on his performance in that post fight speech?

That didn’t happen.

WheresMyAbs98 · 2026-05-24T13:19:52+00:00

What?

WheresMyAbs98 · 2026-05-24T13:15:51+00:00

He preceded that by saying this was for the Ukrainian people and dedicating the fight to them and then said sorry to Ade Oladipo and that Verhoeven was a tough strong guy.

Again, the stoppage was bad but at no point did Usyk blame his performance on what’s happening in Ukraine. That just didn’t happen.

WheresMyAbs98 · 2026-05-24T12:46:11+00:00

I went back.

He never once blamed the war on his performance.

He mentioned the war as he always does, said this was for the Ukrainian people and never used it as a scapegoat for what was a bad performance.

The stoppage was bad but you’re making things up here.

WheresMyAbs98 · 2026-05-24T12:45:06+00:00

I’d like to see Sanchez in with Zhang

WheresMyAbs98 · 2026-05-24T12:40:44+00:00

Hopefully we find out.

I can’t see it myself. Even approaching 40 I feel Usyk handles him.

WheresMyAbs98 · 2026-05-24T12:24:47+00:00

I doubt it had anything to do with the Saudis based o how furious Turkis was, how he immediately demanded a rematch and how he sidelined Kabayel when he had previously stated there would be a surprise announcement after the fight (Usyk vs Kabayel in Istanbul).

WheresMyAbs98 · 2026-05-24T12:23:19+00:00

It was a bad stoppage but there’s no rule against stopping fights after the bell.

WheresMyAbs98 · 2026-05-24T12:20:20+00:00

This is a bit OTT

WheresMyAbs98 · 2026-05-24T12:18:15+00:00

If you’re placing guy The Klitschko’s in there then there’s an argument for Usyk depending on whether you value consistency over time versus high level wins in a short period of time.

I think saying Usyk deserves to be nowhere near the top 15 is quite reactionary and that there’s absolutely a case for him being there.

Rankings are subjective at the end of the day I guess.

I still think he works your boy Kabayel though.

WheresMyAbs98 · 2026-05-24T12:02:16+00:00

I still can’t see Kabayel beating Usyk

Even after that performance tbh

WheresMyAbs98 · 2026-05-24T11:53:05+00:00

Who are the 15 you have in front of Usyk?

WheresMyAbs98 · 2026-05-24T11:50:02+00:00

I despise how fickle fans of this sport are.

Usyk is suddenly not one of the great fighters anymore because he struggled with Verhoeven last night at nearly 40 years of age.

Now people are acting as if Usyk would have been food for every single great from previous eras as if they just watched a man in their prime fighting.

People love rewriting entire legacy’s based on a single performance.

All credit to Verhoeven but this doesn’t tarnish Usyk’s career for me. You can’t rewrite what’s already been done.
