I'm not referring to morale boosting publicity shots,I'm talking about actual physical combat that Uskl engaged in.
Gene Tunney was called the Fighting Marine but in truth he never saw action. Trolling seems compulsory here for some posters.Mystifying.

Age. He didn't do much except box exhibitions and make training films while stationed in Hawaii.
By the time he was in uniform in spring of 1942 he already had eight years and 50 plus fights under his belt.
It's possible, had there been no war he may have faded faster; he was already showing signs of slowing down by '41 and then he lost Blackburn in '42. I could seeing him fighting a few more defenses in '43 and '44 and then possibly hanging them up.
Then again since he hadn't paid his taxes since the Schmeling fight in '38 it's possible he wasn't going anywhere for a while, war or no war.Willie Pep 229 likes this.

Like Martin Luther King Jr. the Great Nash had a dream, and in that dream, Usyk was at the front line, swerving bullets as he destroyed thousands of villains with his fists. In time, it became clear to Nash, that it was a vision of what was actually happening, so Nash saw this with his own eyes. Nash outNash out likes this.
