    Wilder has trouble finding the target when you are standing directly in front of him. He will be outboxed like an amatuer by someone like Usyk... it's one of the reasons why the fight WILL NOT HAPPEN.

    Wilder has proved over and over HE WILL NOT PUNCH so long as you are jabbing and tapping to the body.
    For 5 rounds, Wilder threw almost nothing back at Ortiz. He hates pressure, he hates work to the body and hates work from angles.
    That combined with a chin that is very, very suspect means we would be in for one hell of a fight from Usyk.

    Usyk would win 9+ rounds and potentially drop Wilder in the process.
    Let's not forget, both times that Wilder has been out on his feet (against Ortiz and Fury) he blamed it on exhaustion.
    If that's the case, his gas tank also comes into question against someone like Usyk.

    I would take a ban bet that Usyk beats Wilder.

    Wilder get outbox? Wow what a revelation. He always get out box. That shouldn't even be a question when you mention a possible match up. The question is can the opponent keep constant output up for 12 rnds and avoid the right.

    Usyk gets hit way more than a lot of people want to admit. He's taking one on the chin at some point vs Wilder it's a virtual guarantee in my eyes

    Because he fights higher level competition... like MUCH higher. So of course he gets hit.

    Wilder will never land on Usyk, not once. Only highly skilled and well conditioned athletes such as Witherspoon can land and bust Usyks face up like in their brutal 7rd encounter.

    Of the big 4 this is probably Usyk''s easiest. Wilder has no boxing skills and will receive a boxing lesson from Usyk. Less so for AJ who is a conventional boxer with power in both hands. Usyk would outbox and could take him out late with attrition. Ruiz is smaller which means Usyk doesn't have a reach disadvantage and although he's a combination puncher he won't land as much against a slick Usyk who can box for 12 rounds. Tyson Fury is very tall and a food boxer. Hardest test for Usyk but winnable given his volatility.

    Cruiserweight is a shid division? One of the better divisions in boxing for those that know something about boxing.

    It kind of does, given that it's Usyk's only fight at HW so far.

    He barely got hit against the most dangerous puncher he faced in Gassiev. That's how he'd approach Wilder in all likelihood. Remember all of the proxy support Gassiev got on here when that fight went down? :lol:

    Lol you Usyk fans are becoming just as sad as Rocky Marciano fans. Usyk had one fight a heavyweight. He fought a beaten up broken down Chazz Witherspoon. He didn't really look impressive in that fight. But you biased Usyk fans act like he is some kind of mega star. Let the guy actually beat a half way decent heavyweight before you start talking about how great of a heavyweight he is.
