    Slightly less chance of this happening than Wlad vs Vitali and about the same as Vitali vs Usyk. K2 Promotions, baby!

    A younger Wlad wouldn't have much trouble with Usyk.

    Now wait a minute. Bellew looked very good until he was caught. Wlad would decimate Bellew. Let's keep things in perspective. If Wlad gets into shape, puts in the time, I think he stops Usyk, even today.

    Amazed that anyone can say with great confidence that Wlad ‘kills’ him etc.. Usyk is clearly exceptional and adapts to his opponents. He has a history of beating bigger/big punching fighters comfortably.

    Don’t let those first few rounds against Bellew fool you.. he clearly didn’t really respect Bellew’s power or offence.

    Wlad of the Pulev fight destroys Usyk.

    It's a very interesting fight. The split in opinion on this thread shows that. I can't see it happening but I'd be on board with it if it did.

    Wlad has no chance. Wlad is too old and too far gone. I doubt Usyk would want to crush an old former great champion coming out of retirement.

    Yep. That aptly describes my feelings on the matter, too.

    Wlad's name is legendary? To who? Dumb Europeans or dumb casual fans on boxing forums like this? Most people world wide have no clue to who Wlad is. The real boxing fans who know who he is know he is the reason the heavyweight division became unimportant.

    I think the HW division became less followed while Wlad was champion because he fought out of Germany, was of Russian/Ukranian decent and had a plodding style. But take nothing away from him, he was champ for a long time and US fighter after US fighter made the pilgrimage to Germany only to get KO'd. His achievements are impressive.

    Are you guys nuts? Basically it's like Usyk fighting against his promoters, this would never happen.

    Lol Bellew is still a natural light heavyweight and Usyk was losing at the time at the stoppage. Usyk has yet to fight any heavyweight. Why are so many of you casual fans on sites like this? You have no clue what you are talking about.

    Not going to happen, but if it did, Usyk boxes Wlad's ears off. Wlad isn't as slippery as Bellew, styles make fights.
