Is Oleksander Usyk quite literally unbeatable?

Too many bad match ups for him at HW for me.
You really must get the opponents respect at HW, if they can take your power, you're done for.
Also, you won't get the chance to retire or get stopped on your feet, you'll get an oxygen mask and a stretcher.
Let's judge him after Bellew and a fight or two at HW.

Usyk is great, if only he had 40% more power he would be top notch, HOF, ATG...

Contrary to popular belief, and in the context of boxing... size definitely matters.

 

unbeatable no. but in my opinion beats every one at hw with ease.. except wilder and Joshua who would have a shot. if they can't land that ko punch or hurt him they both lose a wide ud though

 

There is such a thing as winning on points though

 

Inoue is a 50/50 fight

 

Hits below the belt are not allowed in boxing.

 

We've seen Uysk, talented as he is lose plenty of rounds clearly so not sure how the OP thinks he can't be beaten. Anyone can IMO.

 

OP is an AJ fanboy and just trolling everybody

 

Apologies for repeating my reply from another thread but it’s basically the same question.

If Usyk uses a peekaboo defence against Joshua he’s going to get battered and bloodied by his own glove leather. The power of Joshua jab & straight right will travel directly through to Usyks face even if he’s catching them on his gloves. At the same time Joshua’s reach is going to keep Usyk too far away for him to consistently throw any meaningful counters.

Usyk doesn’t do well when his opponent moves anti-clockwise, he takes too many left hooks as his opponent steps left which isn’t OK against anyone but against a man 35lbs heavier and a noted left hook finisher he’ll find himself in trouble.

Workrate won’t really help him because he’ll find it hard to get in range and his normal accuracy will suffer for the same reason. I fully expect him to stick around for a few rounds because he’s a champion and has a strong winning mentality but as rounds go by he’s going to get tenderised to the right rib cage and will eventually fall to a left hook straight right combination.

Joshua by TKO Rd 8

 

To play devil's advocate for a minute, AJ doesn't do a Wlad like job of controlling distance. Povetkin was inside all the time and Parker was a much closer fight than any Wlad had against a smaller fighter (that didn't end in ko). AJ just isn't as scientific as Vitali and Wlad at using his size and height to clearly win rounds. If Usyk can stay standing and if the judges aren't completely in the tank (neither of which I'd bet on), I wouldn't be shocked with Usyk picking up the upset.

 

Come on now, Briedis almost had him. I like Usyk as much as the next guy, but Briedis isn't the second best fighter in the world and Usyk is as beatable as the next champ.

 

Shoryuken.

 

If the weight drop doesn’t hurt him I think Bellew beats him

 

someone give this man the dumbest post of 2018 award
