    If the WBSS Cruisers moved up to heavyweight, how would they fare vs current WBC "champ" Deontay Wilder?

    Usyk
    Briedis
    Dorticos
    Gassiev
    Huck
    Perez
    Kurdyashov
    Wlodarczyahajszyzsyzyz

    Usyk would school him badly.

    Gassiev & Dorticos are 50/50's.

    He KO's the rest.

    Usyk would make him cry with late ktfo or very wide ud.
    Gassiev would ko him late.

    The others would be close.

    Would make a lot of money betting on Usyk vs Wilder if the fight were to happen as no doubt the bookies would somehow make Wilder the favourite, like they did vs Povetkin.

    Easy money.

    I could see Usyk boxing his head off and knocking his dick loose. Usyk turns his height disadvantage into an advantage better than most if not all current boxers, but he's usually the faster handed and faster footed fighter when that happens and he wouldn't be here. 70/30 or 60/40 Usyk but Wilder could without question fedex Usyk's head back to Ukraine as well. Usyk is WAY more skilled and technically sound, Wilder is Way more physically gifted.

    I guess I could see Gassiev and Dorticos beating him by either points or KO, but I would heavily favor Wilder to take their heads off. Again, they are more skilled and technically sound than Wilder, or at least Dorticos is -- Gassiev is just a straight savage -- but I think Wilder's physical profile and athleticism overwhelms both. Dorticos fought in the amateurs as a light heavy but was losing in the nationals to Napoles and La Cruz so he defected and has seemingly had more success at cruiser, and that success has been heavily aided by his athletic advantage over his opponents. Wilder is way bigger and way more athletically gifted than both, so much more I highly doubt he would lose to either.

    I don't think any of the others even have a 1% chance of beating Wilder. If any of them do it's Perez, and that would be maybe a 1% chance.

    I think he would/could literally kill/decapitate Kudrayashov and present day Huck. Prime Huck I still would heavily favor Wilder, but he was VERY tough in his prime, physically, mentally, and never gave up trying to impose his will on his opponent. Prime Huck might have that 1% chance against Wilder, but again, I don't see Wilder leaving it up to Huck.

    Wilder's very nearly a cruiserweight himself. His last fight he weighed 220. That's only about 10lbs north of what CWs weigh on fight night. Just something to bear in mind since I often hear Wilder referred to as a SHW, and being too big for certain fighters.

    In response to the question he'd undoubtedly lose to Usyk via very wide decision in which he's made to look like a complete amateur.

    The rest I'd all give good chances to beat him with the exceptions of the last three.

    Oh, and forgot Breidis. I think Wilder emphatically wrecks him too.

    Wilder is one of those fighters whose physical profile and athletic gifts -- especially for his size -- are so immense that he could without question uncork a spectacular KO on any present day boxer, regardless of their skill level/advantage on Wilder.

    Wilder also has clear and obvious concentration and awareness lapses in fights, is tall and lanky, has a shaky chin and defense, and is way behind where he should be technically.

    He's the type of fighter whose physical profile and unbelievable athletic gifts are so great they turn into a weakness for him. Guys like that don't need to work as hard as others to develop the skills needed to reach the top and stay there. He has put in just enough work and effort to develop just enough skill and technical ability to get by at this point. Any given night he could for sure beat anyone, but I could also definitely see him losing on any given night to plenty of fighters I would highly favor him against.

    They all beat Wilder, except for Wlod.

    Kudryashov is a 50/50 fight, whoever lands first..

    Probably knocks them all out with the exception of Usyk which I see as a 50/50 fight.

    Lmao. Usyk is a very hittable guy and this monumental ring IQ is a myth. Wilder knocks his block off.

    He's the wrong CW to ever pick against any capable hvw boxer. I don't think that he's even the best CW.
