The American coach Teddy Atlas, who became famous through working with a heavyweight Mike Tyson, again paid attention to his statement about modern boxing. In an interview with Froch on Froch on Fighting, he shared his opinion on the best boxers of today and stressed that among all boxing stars, Alexander Usyk deserves special attention.
Atlas, who worked with Tyson during his highest achievements, told about his sympathy for several boxers. Among them are the American champion Jesse Rodriguez, Russian boxers Dmitry Bivol and Arthur Beterbiyev. However, when it came to the best of all, the atlas did not hesitate to name Alexander Usik. “A stunning boxer, he won everything you can. I like Inoe, Crawford, Rodriguez and the Davis tank, but if you choose one is Usik, ”the coach said.
Atlas emphasized that Usik is the first absolute world champion in the overweight weight over the last 25 years, making it extremely significant. It is important for the coach not only that Usik has received titles, but also how he does, demonstrating incredible stability and performance. “Usik always wins, he does it everywhere: Olympic gold, the absolute in Cruiserweit and Hevaeiti. It's fantasy, ”the Atlas emphasized.
Now Alexander Usyk is not only a symbol of Ukrainian sports, but also one of the largest boxers of the modern world. Atlas, known for its demanding and critical view of modern boxing, made it clear that Usik is unsurpassed today.
