Usyk vs Povetkin seems likely... Usyk will make EASY WORK of Povetkin!!!

Hmmm so your are predicting a fighter who is at the very peak of his career and who has just wiped out the CW division will beat a 39 year old coming off a KO defeat.

I marvel at your courage making this prediction, you should put "The Oracle" under your username, a brave and outrageous prediction, well done.

 

Will you be making a similar thread for Usyk vs Ortiz?
Ortiz is a PED cheat.

 

I think the usyk beats him but if usyk allows himself to get hit the amount of times of which he did against Bellew then Povetkin would KO him.

Povetkin still has the strongest resume in the divison after AJ and I believe he is underrated not overrated (compare his record to Ortiz for example).

 

Great point.

The difference in the way some talk about Povetkin and Ortiz is so blatantly bias it's actually embarrassing.

Povetkin is PEDvetkin but Ortiz is a Monster..

 

Usyk is bigger than Povetkin. Povetkin was 100 kg for Joshua and still looked soft and flabby, Usyk weighs in at 90 kg rock solid and is cutting water to make weight. Usyk is also taller and has more reach.

 

Sssshhhhh don't tell the truth about Ortiz, you'll set off all the Wilder fans who pretend Ortiz is great to boost Wilders terribly embarrassing resume.

 

He really doesn't have the best resume though, empirically. I have a thread up on the resumes of the top HWs, and Povetkins great resume is a myth that just doesn't hold up under scrutiny. At least not when compared to the Big 3. Clearly he's got a much better resume than anyone else active in the division, though, including Ortiz

But I agree with how you analyze a potential Sasha Usyk fight. Usyk should be a slight favorite but Pov could get the ko if he is sloppy and leaves himself open.

 

I think he wins, but it's still a fight I'd love to see. Povetkin is better equipped than most to give Usyk some problems.

 

Depends on what Povetkin has left at 39. He's also just coming off of a brutal KO at the hands of Joshua.

 

Povetkin is too wild and predictable. Usyk will treat him in the same fashion that he treated Bellew. If he wants to graduate into the big league with honors then Ortiz is the fight for that. If he defeats Ortiz, he will answer all the questions that need answering and will serve proper notice to the top of the food chain.

 

I think this puny Usyk is in for a nasty wake up call, if he fights the juiced up Russian. He should stay with the cruiserweights, I just dont't think he has the size and punch resistance to deal with these huge behemoths. Lol.

 

Great fight please make it Hearn!

 

Fair play to Usyk if he takes that as his first HW fight
