Gonna look so bad if he actually drops the WBC belt to fight Wilder instead of Kabayel..
It would look like a guy who's making his best possible career move to me. From HIS perspective that is not from the fans perspective.
But hell the fans don't appreciate anything you give them anyway so trying to please them is pointless.
You could beat the #1 guy 5 times, and then struggle once and suddenly nobody remembers all the good you did. Boxing fans are fickle.
Fans in general are fickle.
That’s why I wanted him to retire after the second Fury fight, or at least after the second Dubois fight.
It was only a matter of time until he had a bad performance and everyone forgot what this man achieved.
The more gimmick fights he takes from now on, the more hate he’s going to get and the more his legacy will suffer on paper.
And Usyk strikes me as the type of guy who cares more about legacy than money (especially since he’s already made enough for the next couple of generations..).

Winning fights doesn't hurt your legacy. Beating Rico Verhoeven grew his legacy, it didn't diminish it.

People hate on him since the fight got announced.
Didn't help that he got out-boxed and the fight ending in controversy.

People are stupid. I'll never hate on either of them for that fight or the effort from either man.
Usyk vs Wilder in Istanbul?!
