    His skills are off the charts for a big guy, but is he big enough?

    He'd beat Wilder now.

    Although he'd only hold onto it as long as he avoids Anthony Joshua MBE

    Ok. By Heavyweight title I mean THE Heavyweight title (i.e beating Klitschko), not Wilder.

    The Cat of Ukraine is a dangerous foe and can win a HW title. He is brilliant.

    I want to believe, well I do believe as far as it relates to cruiser weight, even having success at heavyweight would not surprise me. But I am not so sure about him dominating at heavyweight,,,,,,,yet,,,,

    I need to see him dominate at cruiser weight before I would make such a prediction.

    Don't get me wrong CST, I am really excited by what I have seen in Usyk to date. But I have been around for half century and I have seen so many sure things fail at one specific stage or another. So I just need to reserve judgement on how far he will go until this next year unfolds, as soon as he starts facing the top cruiserweights we will have a clearer picture to forecast with. If Usyk goes all the way I will give you credit as one of the first to start calling it :good:bbb

    The man is phenomenal. He has greatness written on him. It's a treat that we have Usyk and Lomachenko in the same freaking time-frame. They're both phenomenal talents.

    Kovalev would spark Wilder/ burger squad in less than 3. Usyk is much bigger. Gets him out of there quick. Hurt badly

    But you thought Broner could beat Khan, Brook and Maidana in the same night. So it's not like you are a good judge. :hi:

    Khan > Maidana > Broner
    Brook > Porter > Broner
    Plus Broner went to hospital after fighting Maidana, so yeah, sounds legit he beats him, Khan and Brook in the same night

    Go and find the post where I picked Garcia to KO Matthysse. I'll wait. :hi:
