    I'd give Medzhidov a good shot at KOing Fury right now as well.

    I think Usyk gives Fury problems. He is quicker then Fury, faster hands quicker feet, more punching power.

    More importantly I think Usyk fights small, which most heavy's dont. No one is going to out-big-man Fury... but you can out work him (no KO power) and overwhelm him Usyk can do those.

    Usyk is too small. Wlad, Fury, Povetkin, Joshua, and Parker, would beat him up. He'd have a good chance to beat most of the others around his size, and some no talent bums, but I don't see him being champion. Let's see him grab a title and unify at cruiserweight before we start asking him to jump into the big leagues. There hasn't been a unification in cruiser for 7 years and he might be the one to do it.

    You picture him pulling a number on Fury like Chagaev did on Valuev?

    Usyk is a true talent and I love watching this man operate. He boxes, he punches hard, his head movement is fantastic. He doesn't rely on power only like many others.

    True boxing genius. I love that in fighters.

    That being said, he should capture the CW golds first, then move to HW and start dominating there.

    Go google Usyk standing next to Wlad and ask yourself does he stand a chance vs Fury.
