    You're one of the best posters on here, I respect your opinion, but don't you think he's a little small for a modern HW? He was a lot older than Joshua when they fought, apart from it being amateurs. I suspect when Joshua has more experience, Usyk will just be outclassed.

    1- They never fought in the ams
    2-There's not much age difference(only two and a half years)
    3-He's an inch taller than the current #2 HW.
    4-He's too fast and too slick for those big HWs.

    Usyk and Joshua never fought and he's only 2 years older. He never looked too small outclassing SHW's in WSB including Medzhidov who beat Joshua.

    If Usyk can keep Joshua away then I feel like he could win.
    It's crazy to think that the bigger guy will be the one trying to get closer. Usyk has great footwork and he's fast in both footwork and handspeed. Usyk has also shown good stamina so far and Joshua has such a heavy built so we don't know how he will react going into the later rounds.
    But it's difficult to tell right now, until they step up in competition. I want to see how much Joshua has improved and how hard he really punches.
    This is all my opinion of course if someone else sees different it's cool.

    Usyk is 6'3 an inch taller than Povetkin and he has a fairly big frame to accommodate the extra weight, so no I think he'll do well, maybe not as good as he'll do at CW but good nonetheless, Usyk and Joshua never fought in the amateurs that I can remember, unless you're referring to how they both did against Medzhidov as a point of comparison, as far as Usyk Vs. Joshua that's a very interesting potential match up in the future, but I think Usyk is too fast for him personally but that one is hard to call due to AJ being quite agile as well, but as of now I give the edge to Usyk.

    Oops got him mixed up, my bad, re fighting Joshua. Bigger point though, slick and fast only get you so far, ask Chris Byrd and Alexander Povetkin. I could see that type of future for him, but just can't see him breaking through the highest level super HW's like Wlad or whoever his prime successor turns out to be, such as Joshua.

    I actually just compared him to Byrd in another thread, but Usyk has heavier hands, better technique, better amateur experience. Also a rare thing from small and slick guys, he was good at bullying his opponents around in WSB where he beat big HWs without losing a round.

    Look up his first 6 opponents and then look up Huck's,Hernandez' or Lebedev
    s first 6 opponents.
    Usky's first 6 opponents are quite decent all in all.
    Like most knowledgeable posters here I for one think that he is the next reigning cruiser weight king.Cant see really any match for him at cruiser weight,and even at the big boys' league I cant really see many dangerous fights for him.

    Does Uysk get to take all the PED's he wants and not get tested like Joshua?

    He has only fought stiffs so far, he's already 28 and he doesn't seem to have concussive power. And he's only 6 foot 3 and doesn't seem at all too big for CW.

    In other words, he won't dominate the heavyweight scene in your wildest dreams. He's not going to move up anyway, and that's okay. The CW division is starting to look really exciting :deal

    Not at all. AJ's body is attainable by anyone who lifts 3 times a week, sleeps 8 hours every night and eats a lot of chicken. Hardgainers might have to take Cell-Tech aswell though :think

    Yes he's going to move up once it's for certain there's no challenge for him at CW. As for him being not big enough, once again, check out what he did to big SHWs in wsb without headgear.
