That's an insult to Evander to even be mentioned alongside Usyk considering it took him 7 rds to dispose of an overweight taco vendor. Especially taking into account Usyk's "stellar " amateur career wins of 400+ Let's see him beat a decent opponent at cruiserweight before he's even considered a challenger to the current belt holders.
:yep Yes way. He can look clumsy and unrefined at times but his fists can knock down buildings and his chin is made out of rock. Stick a pair of those little gloves on him and he'll do serious damage.
Don't mean to claim he's as good as Holyfield or anything but Evander's progress in pro ranks was a bit slower than Usyk's and he was fighting in a shallower division.
Usyk has a long and what looks to be difficult climb to the top of the current cruiserweight landscape . The cruiserweight division is very talented and full of dangerous and hungry contenders.
What's that say about Joshua that he was being beaten around like a rag doll and owned by a bum with head gear on.:think
that mezhidov is a butterbean. seriously joshua would smash him in the pro's. also whats headgear got to do with ****. cst80 stop this headgear ****. :twisted:
:tired common myth. most of the time, this padding makes a far less elusive fighter. mezhidov was made fun of by usyk, completely broken. uysk wouldnt do that all the top hw's in a full distance let alone 3rounds.
C word rhymes with runt and S word that rhymes with twit? His chin is certified iron and his fists are forged out of even sturdier stuff. :deal He will obviously have to work on certain things if and when he does decide to join the pro ranks. Hooking up with a top notch trainer would serve him very well. But I still think he'd decimate a lot of top pros even now. It would be advisable for you to agree with me lepin given my lofty status on here and superlative ESB ranking. :deal
This pro version of Usyk is being trained by James Ali Bashir who is seemingly intent on turning him into a boring safety first fighter who won't let his hands go until his opponent has been methodically broken down first, the amateur Usyk and the one that fought in the WSB was a different animal altogether. Even Vitali Klitschko had to go and have a word with Bashir mid fight about their tactics. That's because he knows what Usyk is capable of.
