Dude I bet on fights. Trust me, the last thing that enters my mind when I put down my hard earned money on a fight is race. You guys are too emotionally invested on fights and fighters.
Usyk jab is even better than Kovalev s, Usyk won gold at 2012 olympics he is a very accomplished fighter. He has big power, has 83% KO rate, he didnt knock out the tough Glowacki and the durable Hunter, in wich fight the referee wanted to see a tragedy. Usyk is faster than Ward, is very slick. This thread only brings hate to both fighters, this is like saying that Chocolatito could stop Lomachenko. Both are really good, but there is too much size disadvantage
When Usyk fought a puncher (Glowacki) he rarely got hit. Before you would call Glowacki a bum, he is the type of fighter Ward can look good against. Ward wouldn't look good against Usyk, he would lose. Styles make fights plus Ward is not even big at LHW yet he would beat the best cruiser? In your dreams.
Usyk is a big cruiserweight with fast hands, good footwork and good punch variety, he has all the tools that Kovalev had not to beat Ward, he is not one dimensional and Ward wouldn't have much success with his clinching and his dirty tactics against him, Usyk is a better inside fighter than Kovalev and has much better ring iq. Usyk would probably win by UD, maybe even by late KO if he would sit down on his punches more.
Not saying he would win but Ward is the only one with a chance to stand with the big dogs at CW and HW
Usyk's jab is not as good as Kovalev's. Kovalev had a higher KO percentage prior to Ward. I saw him getting outboxed by Hunter before Hunter gased out.
Lol Hunter won 2 or 3 rounds maybe. Usyk didn't look very good against him I admit that. Just like Ward didn't look very good against Bika yet he still won by the same margin.
Beterbiev is probably the best suited of the division to compete at CW. Has the power and physical frame. He sacrifices a lot boiling down in weight, he would probably be sharper at CW.
Ward would beat Usyk then people would champion Beterbiev. When Ward beat Beterbiev they will line their list of 'certain region' boxers ti deathrone him. When Ward beat all of them tho? They will feed Lomachenko with horse meat to get bigger and face Ward. Ward will also beat him too LOL
It's not about power. What's with you guy's obsession with power. Chris Byrd also started his career at 168 just like Ward, look at the names on his record. You see what I mean. You guys are so emotionally invested in these fighters be it love or hate that you fail to realize what's in front of you. That's why you call people troll and racist only to heart broken when the unthinkable happens.
Refer to post #8 I'm done talking to you. If @MVC! wants to engage in a friendly dialogue I'm more than willing to discuss this.
