Usyk has got the background, the character, the skill, the resume, to lay claim to be one of the best boxers of all time.
Usyk kissing his cross at the end of the eighth round brought tears to mh eyes
@@garyfletcher1910Mike Tyson beat no one. Name his 3 best wins. Yes, Usyk is one of the greatest of all time. It's not even a debate.
@@garyfletcher1910he didn’t say better. One of the greatest. Olympic gold. Undisputed cruiserweight. Undisputed heavyweight who else has done that
@@garyfletcher1910from this list tyson would be biggest problem for usyk. All other guys too static
Shavers...who never was champion and lost to journeymen. Sure, buddy. Not biased, huh?
A humble man. 335-15 in the amateur, 2008 Gold medalist in Plovdiv, 2008 Gold medalist in Liverpool, 2011 Gold medalist in Baku, 2012 London Olympics gold medalist. 🥊🥊🥊
Undisputed Cruiserweight champion, and now the Undisputed Heavyweight champion 🥊🥊🥊
Oleksandr Usyk is a great ambassador to the sport of boxing. Usyk is 6" smaller, 7" shorter reach, 30 lbs lighter than Fury. 🥊🥊🥊
Usyk deserve to be the number 1 Pound-For-Pound best fighter together with Naoya Inoue and Terence Crawford. All these THREE are two division Undisputed champions.🥊🥊🥊
40lbs lighter even, remarkable!
Don't forget...undisputed LINEAL heavyweight champion.
He is not.Vlad wasn't lineal, Fury wasn't lineal.
If anyone beats Usyk they'd become lineal.....
But that takes nothing away from. Usyk. A great champion.
Hopefully this will get the time wasters out of the HW division
Undisputed should start a new lineage@@shaunvdukeif the predecessor has retired for good
Wanted Fury to win but I agree. Can't deny Usyk's greatness. Big up the man. I do think Tyson Fury is great too though... he just doesn't seem to have the discipline to stay in Fury/Wilder 2 shape.
The ability to find a way to win……. The words of a veteran 🇮🇪
Same “veteran” said Usyk will lose to Fury lol. Man I’ll listen more to those who actually gave Usyk a chance
I don't think he's Irish
@@princekaponde577 He called Usyk to win lol watch his latest video
@@princekaponde577 Also just because someone picked Fury to win doesn't mean they didn't give Usyk a chance. It's fighting. I don't care if it's boxing, mma or sumo wrestling anyone can win. Any fighter at that level can beat anyone else on any given day. Just look how many people "knew" Deontay Wilder would beat Tyson Fury. Didn't happen.
Ukraine war politics on your side helps.
I like Teddy Atlas analysis. You ask him one question and he gives you the full breakdown of everything. 👏
He’s a bit of a windbag and wrong just as much as he’s right. He’s right here imo, Usyk is the man.
@@Uppercut443and here you are.
I appreciate Atlas explaining the psychological aspect, but I don't think he spends enough time on the technical aspect.
The way Usyk angles his arm instinctively to prevent Fury from grabbing him in the clinch, is why Usyk is elite
Crazy right? He refused to be bullied, and even when Tyson would get ahold of him, he'd shuck him off
@@sirbaconbutties7071Usyk still would have beat Fury if he didn't have those fights with Wilder
@@sirbaconbutties7071no one was saying that after he smoked whyte. Usyk is nearly 38, the damaged good excuse doesn’t work here.
@@boricua9071 who's biologically older ,I can play that game as well.
@@Giggedy2 Fury ,was treating Usyk like he was Tom Swartz in there ,absolutely zero respect for Usks power. He actually had more respect for Ungannou.
Teddy gives you not only a lesson about boxing, but a lesson about life (and it's hugely appreciated!).
Shame he missed out Usyck not even beating Chisora then forgets about Usyck the most honourable cheating against Dubois great my arse
@@glenleon323You sound salty. Fury got beaten fair & Square. Don't take it personally
@@glenleon323 guess your a bitter Fury fan no need to cheat when you you have your opponents card marked from the off.
@@user-Red5hield-exp0ser Ukrain war politics came into it, though, didn't it. People who no boxing had Fury ahead.
I appreciate Teddy's giving attention to the psychological aspect of the game, but I think he doesn't spend enough time on the technical aspect.
I agree. Usyk is not only technically brilliant, he's got huge spirit and a hell of a chin with a tolerance for pain. And he's a gentleman. I'm glad he won, he deserves it.
If Teddy Atlas says you're one of the greatest of all time, you can't get a better compliment.
Usyk is so fun to watch because he reminds me of the heavyweights from the 70s. He is on his way to become the goat of this era. Interesting that he has the same 6.3 height and 78 reach as Ali along with both having birthdays on 17 January and both being Olympic gold medalists.
He fights nothing like them, but he has the gas tank and is hard like the old fighters
good observation!
Read Mike Silver’s “The Art of Boxing.” He argues that the heavyweights of yesteryear are better than the fighters today. You only need 200 pounds and the rest is reaction time and physics.
@@deadarmd Doesn't Usyk remind you of Gene Tunney, Ali at times and Joe Louis as well? He has some qualities like all of them but moves a lot like Tunney.
Sorry he is a goat already!!!
I love Teddy Atlas and the great champion Usyk.
Props to the interviewer here. Asked the question & gave the great man time to give us amazing in depth analysis. Top job 👏
One thing not mentioned enough is Usyk's chin. When he needed to change the fight, he did so knowing he could take a punch (albeit there is always some risk, obviously), whereas Fury got heavily lamped once and was all over the place.
Agree with this. He took a few of those uppercuts, one of which ended Whyte.
He has a great chin for a small man, seen it with Gassiev, Briedis, Joshua and now Fury.
Definitely. Usyk took a lot of punches that have stopped other fighters. He's a very hard man. Fury caught him very well to the head and the body, and you just couldn't stop Usyk.
Very hard guy.
Fury took a hard punch ill admit though. Overhand left haymaker right on his chin that he didn't see.
Can we please stop with this usyk is a small man he 6’2 230 that is not small!!!!
How the hell he turn it around after R6... absolute Great
a modern rope a dope
As an old guy, let me say this: Hold on to this moment. It's one you'll trot out many times over your next fifty years. Frazier-Ali 1 was that way for me. Like the Ali-Frazier fight, this one is a small but spectacular moment in a world-wide turbulent setting, with multiple wars, economic hardship, passionate political and cultural division... And aside from the boxing ins-&-outs and nuts-&-bolts that we love as fans, it's a great, great story, with great characters, and that--hopefully--will reach a wider audience in time.
Well said 👏 👌 👍🏾
1971 Ali vs Frazier made a 11 year old me a boxing fan.
It was a great fight, but an even better lesson 👏 in life, as a huge Ali fan, seeing 👀 how he handled himself in defeat, taught me so much about what it is to be a great champion 🏆, but better yet, a great man!!!
Very insightful and well said
That was deep 👏🏾👍🏾
I like listening to Teddy. He's like that witty gritty Granpa I've always wanted
Usyk kissing the cross on the beginning of the ninth roung. God is good
If only there were more Christians worthy of respect than just Usyk. Unfortunately he's the only one. The rest are lying hypocritts
Jesus, son of Mary, is only a human being and a great prophet. He ate food and drank water. Worship One God who has created everything and has power over all things.
@alcottdevalte7440 nope... God the son, God the father and God the holy spirit is one God. There are 3 in heaven these 3 are 1.... God manifested in flesh justified in spirit
God is good 👍...uysk is king...God bless uysk...
@@user-qc1lu1wi9b god doesn't exist, there is zero historical evidence for jesus, so he is fictional also, as for the holy ghost , zero evidence. So stop pretending
Fair comments by Atlas, and much better than all the uneducated and emotional vitriol that appears in all these comment sections. Great seesaw fight by two great boxers.
Thank you brother. I am compelled to write this to you. I love Mr. Atlas, as a lifelong boxing fan, when he speaks I listen. Bravo to you mate. Even though I don't know you personally I must congratulate you on how well you performed that interview!!!!!! Of course the main point of the interview is with the interviewee but you handled that and did that impeccably. Not always the case with all the various, numerous certain peeps! You let the man speak which is wjat we want. Congrats. Also thanks for educating me after the last time I left a comment after one of the interviews you did with Mr. Ingle. Love bro. Keep going!!!!!
Teddy the Undisputed and greatest knowledge of boxing of all time. Respect Sir💪
Absolutely. Love listening to Teddy talk about boxing...and life in general.
What a men, and what a great translation from boxing to real life,
One voice!!!! To those of us invested ....... goosebumps of CLARITY!!!!! beautifully spoke Teddy
A humble guy, I like Teddy Atlas.
I wish him well and all the best in life.
Hats 🎩 off Sir.
This is Teddies best interview. Electric and looks like Usyk touched him and extracted the human side of Teddy
Usyk had surprising power when needed.
What Usyk has done is truly remarkable. In an era when the HW division is short of high level elite boxers, Usyk comes along and takes out two of arguably the biggest names in the HW division and unify the division. He will go down as one of if not the best cruiserweight and HW.
@@garyfletcher1910 A lot more hype grows up around those guys you mentioned even though they are greats.
@@garyfletcher1910Tyson 😂😂 he doesn’t even make the top ten HW. His legacy is just pure hype
@@garyfletcher1910So Usyk is no good then?
@@oldtimestrengthcentre Usyk is good but would have been destroyed by the heavyweights in the 90,s.
My thoughts exactly. Usyk is in my opinion one of the most well rounded fighters I've seen, but what makes him unbeatable it's his core strength. You can tell this man cut no corners, he's just solid in every single area. And just the way he carries himself, he's a great man. Reminds me of the old school greats. Well done Usyk! Definitely one of the GOATs of the sport.
Happy new year Teddy 😂
Usyk time teleporteded Fury to last year to reset for rematch
😂 Savag
I love Teddy Atlas 😂❤
Usyk is on the list of the greatest of all time in all the ways that define greatness- Teddy Atlas
Well said Teddy. Couldn't agree more! 👏
Usky switched gears in the 9 th . New energy… he wanted it more and he got the verdict
I’d actually say he turned it up in the 8th
@@m.sb.1806this. Fury’s head went with the left to bloody the nose and then the right to really get it flowing in the previous round
Teddy is always so insightful and sincere. Reminds me of my late father in many ways.
A masterclass from Mr Atlas…..
Usyk, renowned for his technical prowess, stands alone among today's fighters as the most credible threat to a prime Muhammad Ali.
I know Ali was a legend...i was a teenager in the later half of his career and would watch every one of his fights...but Usyk is far superior technically especially defence, inside fighting and punch technique. Also Usyk use of angles, his timing and his counter punching while coming forward would be a massive problem for Ali. I don't care if it hurts someones feelings, it is only my opinion but Ali could never beat Usyk
@@stevenskliros9608Agreed.
This is always a debate. We will never know who could beat whom in their prime. Ali beat many greats, with their varied skill sets, in their primes. That's a fact.
As Teddy says, one needs to know how to figure out to win, beyond strengths and weaknesses. Ali has been the best in this regard.
Fury did well but Olek was better.
@@stevenskliros9608never is a strong word. If you are talking Cassius Clay which is when Ali was in his prime not sure you can really say that. Much faster hand speed. Longer reach and lightning fast jab. Stamina forever. Unbelievable chin. Great footwork. Who really can say until they fight? It can’t happen. I am going with Clay. The gap in physical talent is huge. They both have huge character and toughness.
@@gordonschiff3621
Terrible defence, terrible punch technique...lots of his punches were slaps, hands down, neck in the air, can't fight on the inside...holds, boxes off the back foot exclusively. Usyk is many many levels above. Come forward pressure boxer/fighter...both lead and counter puncher. Clinching won't work as he showed against Fury, Usyk is an exponent of Judo and Greko Roman wrestling. Reach is a non issue as his fights against these giant heavyweights prove, even someone as mobile and agile as Fury. Not ever beating a fighter like Usyk
'going through a bad neighbourhood'. love that analogy
Great interview, Teddy always interesting to listen to
Teddy considers Usyk a good solid dude, together with a great boxer.
Great interview with one of the most knowledgable and sincere men in boxing circles. He's got it exactly right!
Usyk is a SUPER GREAT CHAMPION!
UNDEFEATED, UNCONQUERED, UNIFIED, UNDISPUTED, HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD! AND one of the greatest ever!
Usyk is being really under rated by a lot of people, tbh this dude is top 5 all time period.
AWESOME TEDDY ,
💯% CORRECT ❤👑💪
Teddy is soo awesome, always spot on,no hate towards any fighter,knowledge of a lifetime and when he is talking we just should listen.
Pure class, Mr Atlas. Brilliant insights, again.
Olympic Gold medalist and undisputed/undefeated world champion in 2 separate weight classes whose last six opponents outweighed him by an average of 28 pounds each. Not too many fighters past and present with these sort of credentials. We are witnessing greatness people.
Teddy Atlas is a living Legend in Boxing
Word Teddy Word
This man, and Cus built the Tyson we all know from the 1980's top man, very knowledgeable
You're leaving out Kevin Rooney.
Teddy, thanks a lot! Exactly my first thought after watching the fight is that Usyk won with his heart! 💪💪
Thanks for the video, PRO BOXING FANS
Best post fight interview. No bias like most other people have had.
Pure wisdom of Teddy Atlas.
Great man Teddy Atlas. He cares about fighters. He knows the game and the pressures on coaches etc also. Great knowledge and wisdom.
Only Teddy can answer a simple boxing question with philosophy wisdom and charm.
Fury's dirty tactics did not work on Usyk... The guy destroy the giant proper...
He didn't fight that dirty. At least Usyk didn't get an elbow in his face
He didn’t even lean on usky much.. fought too clean
@@hanoitripper1809 2-3 low blows, pushing his head down - it was hardly clean.
Not really! 🤷🏻♂️
A split decision loss. Very close fight
Great interview ! Ask Teddy one question and he comes up with a very good and long answer. He has so much knowledge. What he said about Usyk is exactly how I feel about him. Greetings from the Netherlands and "Happy New Year" lol
Love Teddy. Great trainer, great analyst, great human being
I said it all along, Usyk in a league of his own.
Great informed tribute. Usyk floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee like the greatest.
Great interview. Let the great man talk. No agendas. Enjoyed it immensely.
His greatest strength is his character. Amazing interview!
Because he is a humble man!
Staten Island's fighting favorite! Thanks Teddy.
great interview
Great breakdown!
Great commentary and very very fair!!!
Fun litle detail. After round 2 Usyks corner told him to move less to bate Fury into overcommiting to heavy punches and drain him of his stamina early. What happened in round 5-6 was by planned and it worked as Fury did not recover. 😎
Where’s John Fury?
He won't be very feel today
What a great interview Teddy has given here, so many gems of his boxing wisdom shared with us and the interviewer just had to let him talk...
Beautifully said Teddy!
The Legend of Boxing!! Teddy Atlas. Great Man
The only people that deny Usyk's greatness are new, Jake Paul fans, Tyson fans(both Mike and Fury), old gatekeeper fans or fans of other p4p fighters who's feelings are hurt because their guy isn't in the spotlight for the moment.
Usyk showed such character in this fight a well deserved win very close fight but Tyson was definitely saved by the 🔔.
"That doesn't make me Notre Damus..." lol, I love it! I know he meant Nostradamus, but as a fan of puns and a wordsmithing in general, calling it 'Notre Damus' is amazing, I love it.....
Awesome boxing brain, Teddy is a LEGEND of the sport of Boxing
Great analysis.
A great analysis from a legendary coach
'he had to go through a bad neighburhood but he's a guy that doesn't get mugged' 😂 love that
great analysis, Ted. Salute.
History was made. History was changed.
Teddy atlas thank you...i could listen to you all day...thank you...
Thanks Tedd all the best mark
That is a inner disposition , when you know who you are in God.
Usyk is a man of God . Truly
Happy new year!
Great analysis Teddy.
Spot on
Excellent interview with someone that "knows'!
Your right music is thaks Ted
Best to ever do it.
Love this guys analogies 😂
Top 10 fighter of all time...period
Love Teddy!
Very true! Olexander Usyk is one of the greats of all time! IC XC NIKA
Amen on that 🙏🏼 ANY Heavy weight in history struggles in a fight with him, and I got him beating nearly all of them. Never mind what he did at Cruiser, and as an amateur 👑 🥇 Pure Class, love this guy
Teddy atlas is a book of knowledge
Teddy the man.💯👍
Character is really the most important.
He's spot on with the one voice. I don't know how SugarHill put up with John Fury. He was hardly able to say what he wanted at the times he wanted to due to JF constantly sounding off. I'm not saying the outcome would have been different. But I don't think it helped Tyson's situation
A man who knows what he is talking about.
Well said Teddy
Nah, he didn't go after it. He hurt him but didn't press the issue or go for a KO. Great fight! Best Heavyweight fight in years!
Yes he is one of the greatest .in a day of gigantic boxers he's beat them .usyk is the best pound for pound .greatest athlete for kid's to look up to.realest man .usyk is so much a good man proud man .I haven't been into a boxer since lennox.god bless usyk
Ted Atlas at his best ....great insight and summed up very well what makes Usyk one of the greatest of all time
