    Wlad could come out of retirement and KO him now.

    The Power ain't similar between Usyk and the golfer,

    I've also seen a quick handed southpaw
    get completely befuddled by Wlad and retire afterwards.

    Wlad, (prime) would've stopped Usyk. I haven't much
    doubt in my mind of that scenario.

    Didn't Fury duck a rematch against a 40 year old Wladimir Klitschko?

    Pulev would've beaten Wladimir Klitschko in a rematch. He was overly anxious when they fought and his emotions got the better of him. Which is why he was caught by a Wlad left hook, and simply never recovered after that for the whole fight.

    Usyk was in one of Wlad’s camps and apparently got the better of Wlad to the point where Usyk was essentially told to leave after one round.

    It’s only sparring though, but make of that what you will. I’d personally back Wlad by KO.

    Edit: he was told to leave after one round because the press was there, and he was bossing Wlad in front of them.

    Usyk is not similar in height, but klitschko showed that he struggled with movement, he wasn’t accustomed to having to pin someone down, but he never struggled with southpaws since he gained the experience of the sanders fight

    The day I accept Johnny Nelson's opinion as a reliable source is the day I'll admit that Bellew is technically better than Usyk or Povetkin is more dangerous than Wilder.

    Honestly Usyk has the abilities (albeit different to fury’s) to confuse wlad and prevent him throwing.

    You could be a light hitting heavy but if wlad is not set correctly, target in position, having to reset and 100% confident that there will be no return fire then he is not letting his hands go.

    usyk 100% has the ability, movement and honest power to
    embarrass wlad into not throwing round after round

    Usyk has only Witherspoon. Who knows.

    This match would probably look a little like the Byrd rematch, but more competitive.

    Usyk is more fleet footed and has a better jab than Byrd, but he's also more aggressive and is likely to get bear hugged until the end with Wlad's jab winning it.

    He has breidis however, who absolutely smashed WBA ‘champ’ charr.

    Breidis, even although at cruiser is better than many of wlads defences

    Im a fan of Usyk and Holyfield and I hope the first will be able to prevail in the HWs as the second did...for the simple reason I appreciate a lot Usyks way of boxing...but at the moment he is a big question mark both for his real capacity to hurt the top fighters and to absorb their bombs. Considering how Ive seen with Witherspoon I think Klitschko would beat Usyk easily for power, experience and chin... I hope Im wrong.
