    nah the only utter nonsense is your false sense of belief in Usyk when Whyte statistically and historically has proven himself in the division.

    but you if you wanna fold up the paper of truth and throw it in the bin.. you go right ahead and continue dreaming

    like I said you woudnt put money on what you type hence you dont believe what you type

    Usyk often slides out to the right after punching, I think he’d have big problems with Whyte because he’d be moving right into his power, which is his left hook. It will be interesting to see if he can take the power of big HW’s. Briedis stunned him a couple times in their fight and he’s not even a big CW. I love Usyk, but I don’t know if he is a big enough puncher to keep the elite HW’s off him. After watching Bellew land quite a few hard, straight right hands on him, I think Wilder, with much more length and obscene power and speed in that right hand, would be a nightmare for Usyk. Time will tell. He definitely makes the division much more interesting.

    Again total gibberish.

    Whyte v VADA who wins?

    Again Whyte is game but every time he steps up he goes life and death with his opponents.

    Lack of knock out power at the elite highest level is most harmful when you are in a relatively close fight. When you are looking for judges to give you a decision.

    But alot of fighters suffer from that issue. Including some of the biggest punchers. Letting a fight go to the judges scorecards when you are the away fighter and the judges are not on your side is risky. You can drop a Loss or a Draw when you won the fight.

    I dont see him having fundamental issues at HW due to a lack of power. He has that nastiness and can more on his shots if he needs to gain respect.

    Yeah people get butthurt and misunderstand my sentiments, as if I am putting Usyk down...

    He is great, he put on a good show against Chazz, he broke him down the same way he always breaks people down, he is skilled and consistent with it.

    But he also showed alarming signs of vunreablity... I mean Whyte hits hard... let me repeat... HE HITS HARD... if he can rock Chisora in round 1 with a straight cross... and make Mr Olympia, Rivas grimace from body shots when he has 5 inches of muscle plating on his abs... Usyk is going to be in a world of pain. Especially at 6'3 95 kilos. I am 5'11 and 90 kilos and still feel slim.

    Usyk doesnt have the advantage Wilder has with reach and length, he can dip in and out all he wants, but he will get caught and guess what, he has been caught plenty before. Top 5 are seasoned pro;s they can and will land.

    These jokes on here acting like Whyte is easy work for Usyk have been smoking too much pure weed.

    It's hard to messure what standard Fury is actually at since his comeback as 4 of his 5 opposition since have been outside the top 40.

    what is wrong with life and death? They are good opponents?

    Parker is a 245 pound 6 foot 4 beast with 15 years MORE bocxing experience, and the speed of a cruiserweight. Whats wrong with having that as a challenge/struggle? Its ****ing boxing .

    Its ****ing competitive sport, you have false expectations, maybe you should stick to comic books and marvel. In the real world, fight the best, you are going to have a struggle.

    Chisora KOd Takam and spilka, and Whyte took all Chisoras, best shots. So frankly, you are trolling me and can go eff yourself mate.

    Weak response, because you aints got one for me.

    Lets keep it simple, Whyte vs Usyk we put down real bets. Loser leaves town.

    Seeing as you are uber confident that Whyte is EAASY WORK for Usyk.

    Whyte would **** Usyk up permanently... PERMANENTLY

    Not trolling at all, calling myself a troll when you are the one claiming for Usyk to “cash” out is laughable.

    Will the absolutely savage punching Makhmudov's lack of power hurt him at HW? The guy who can punch holes in castle walls and according to Jason Bergman hits harder than Bum Squad but couldn't stop Eric Brechlin.

    Brechlin also lasted the full distance against 6'6'' behemoth Hrgovic in the WSB as well and AJ in the European championships.

    Usyk vs Brechlin. I wonder why Brechlin's trainer didn't feel the need to throw in the towel when his boy fought behemoth bangers Makhmudov and Hrgovic.

    Usyk also stopped this 260-270lb + behemoth in the WSB

    Modugno lasted into the 4th in the WSB against the 6'6'' 240lb Joe Joyce only losing on a cut eye, which AFAIA is the only other time he's been stopped.


    1-0 Usyk TKO 4 Epifanio Mendoza *Usyk scored 2 KDs*

    14-0 Luis Ortiz WDQ 7 (low blow) Epifanio Mendoza, the only time Mendoza hit the canvas was from a vicious low blow

    @PaddyGarcia @Odins beard

    Brave souls to take that bet, you guys realy really really underestimate what Whyte brings to the table.

    I am gobsmacked the pair of you still havent learned the lesson.

    Anywhere Whyte lands on Usyk .... Usyk will eventually quit. I am serious, I said Rivas would quit but he hung in there in absolute pain, and he is way more built then Usyk. It's physics people, Usyks frame aint taking that punishment.

    FORGET the left hook, Whyte doesnt need it to make Usyk quit

    Anytime a contender steps in with your attitude, overlooking Whyte, they are looking at their corners by the 4th round like who the **** is this guy, this aint going as planned. Usyk will be one of those guys no doubt.

    Man, I’m not a Whyte fan whatsoever, but even I can see that he could be a problem for a feather fist like Usyk. :rolleyes:
