Usyk = poor man's Holyfield

Glowacki is/was a former world champion who is actually world level unlike Izu and the AmeriCan he lost too.

 

Who's claiming Usyk is some devastating puncher?

 

This. Holyfield was far from reaching his best that early in his career. A few years later Holyfield became the world heavyweight champ. Usyk has the potential to do well at heavyweight. But I still think his chin is untested, since without a solid chin some of his habits would get him knocked out at heavyweight.

Holyfield was more of a brawler then people tend to remember, especially prior to Bowe II. A skilled brawler to be sure, I loved his punching technique and combinations. But he was a big brawler at cruiser and an undersized brawler at heavyweight. His defense wasn't the best, but he had great survival skills and could fight his way out of trouble.

I don't get this comparison though. We had a poor man's Holyfield in the 90s, Moorer. Maybe Adamek could be described as such.

 

If i were you i would be concerened about Mr. usyks next fight a fight he may lose and here you are talking about a HW takeover?????????????????

 

Boy am i going to have a FIELD DAY on this thread....SOON! lmao

 

Why?

You are the one championing a guy who lost in his first step up fight.

 

So Holyfield was only a brawler with poor defence? Clown.

 

Has Usyk ever been knocked down during his amateur career that anyone knows of?

 

i also PICKED THAT guy to lose.

 

Good for you and so you should as he is utter poo.

 

Oh it's the Duck man who don't watch boxing.

The answer you are looking for is in post #94

Kind of weird, right? I mean you respond to a very detailed post that states my opinion quite clearly, summarize my statements in a exaggerated negative light and restate it into a question...that can be answered by the detailed post you just quoted.

 

Yet before that fight EVERYONE by about 90% on THIS forum had him labled the second cioming of Anthony Joshua???? Very much like MOST have Usyk for whatever ODD reason to takeover the Hw division....

 

Well I wasnt one of the Izu has skills but is to small at heavyweight, he's more suited to cruiserweight.

 

Yet is 6'5 230 plus and Usyk is 6'2 and about 210/215 in comfort zone at HW also doesnt hit as fast or hard as Izu??? See the irony here? I wouldnt be shocked one bit if Hunter defeats Usyk tbh.
