    Fighters like Klitschkos, Lewis and Bowe created the myth that big HWs always beat smaller ones, and fighters like AJ showed it's just a myth.

    Cw is basically a domestic level division. If a guy like bellew can be champ there that tells you alot of what you need to know

    Bellew was landing right hands on Usyk at will before he gassed. Wilders right hand takes much less time to reach its destination and packs about double the power. And Wilder doesn’t gas. Usyk will need to fight the perfect fight to avoid that right hand for 12 rounds, i can’t see it myself.

    Wilder will bring that dirty South Windmill on him and knock him back to reality

    It’s not like Wilder is going to leg kick him:risas3:

    Wilder has the most devastating right in the division so with one Windmill storm he will drop or KO him IMO :headbash

    I agree with you if you didnt use the word "always". If you replace "always" with "usually" I'd agree.

    I wonder if Usyk thinks Wilder telegraphs his punches :boxing1

    Bellew is a good counter puncher with high boxing IQ. Wilder is bad counter puncher with very low IQ. He missed widely for 8+ rounds against Szpilka who was hit at will with right hands by journeyman Mike Mollo over and over again in both fights

    Watch him? Do you know how many skilled fighters there are in this game? Maybe you should try watching other fighters and then make that assessment.

    Yes. And I've come to the conclusion that Usyk is one of the most skilled fighters today, top 3 even. Top 5 at worst. And I'm not the only one.

    I take it you haven't seen much of him then.

    Bellew is much better than all of Wilder's victims except of Ortiz who was kicking his ass badly for 8 rounds

    Bellew is a garbage champion. Absolute garbage. The fact that you think he's good shows how weak his division was

    Are ppl actually understanding what Usyk is saying or just throwing in other fighters for the hell of it that he fought ?

    Out of AJ ,Fury and wilder common sense tells you Wilder would be easier pickings here due to Wilders weaknesses which would let Usyk look really good here.

    Its still a 50/50 fight vs Wilder ,Fury and AJ would be favorites. ( though Wallin would show you a blueprint of that fight,i told you that.) so its a tricky fight.

    Smart money would still go to the guy capable of winning rounds as I stated Reliance of knock outs don't last forever..Wilder shouldn't have the WBC belt ...Fury should.

    Top 5 most skilled, don’t see it. Usyks major upside at CW was his gas tank and size, Bellew was outboxing him before he gassed and Usyk broke him down with workrate.
