    Usyk would control the fight and dominate but the truth is Usyk never felt a power like Wilder's, Usyk would win on points or Wilder would win by knockout...

    Usyk schooling mid late stoppage.

    So the Wilder jockstrap sniffers and Usyk detractors(anyone notice theyre often the same people?) are still out in full force I see.

    All I have to say to them is. Glass jawed Szpilka and geriatric Ortiz. Usyk is way better than both of those guys and they caused Wilder a world of problems. End of discussion.

    There’s zero chance of that. Chisora isn’t a big heavyweight and Usyk’s boxing ability will be way too much for him and I’m a big fan of Del Boy.

    Usyk will outboxing him and get caught.

    Problem with Usyk is he will eat some punches and that’s what will cause him to lose.

    Wilder KO. Usyk isn’t nearly as slick and elusive as Fury, too easy to hit with a good right hand.

    It's undeniable Wilder has ko power but is it as devastating as people think going by the level of opponents he's ko'd in building that reputation. I'm not saying the power isn't there it certainly is but I just don't feel it's power to stop anyone in his path like people thought. I think Fury has draughted the blueprint on how to neutralise Wilders power which unless Wilder can adapt is going to be a thorn in his side now and while we're not sure of Usyks standing at heavyweight yet I think he's got enough talent to either shut him out on points or stop mid to late. Then of course the question arises can any of Wilders future opponents neutralise him like Fury did who fought a perfect game plan. Ifs what's and buts.

    I’m a huge Usyk fan but need to see him fight a few big guys before I would bet $ that he’d beat Wilder. Usyk is a much better boxer than Wilder or Fury for that matter. He lacks Fury’s massive size, long arms and has never faced an opponent with Wilder’s punching power. Wilder did connect against Fury in the second fight but, unlike the first fight, he was ready and didn’t show any affects from the shots. I’ll need to see Usyk do the same before I confidently predict a victory.

    Wilder lost a fight against a large, slick, heavier fighter. Fury wore him down by leaning that huge weight on him. That definitely weakened Wilder’s legs and his power as a result. Usyk will not be able to employ this strategy. Still going with Usyk but a Wilder KO wouldn’t surprise me.

    Fury kinda just did what most people suspected was the way to fight Wilder, bully him, make it rough and get your shots off before Wilder has a chance to land. I think we’ll see every Wilder opponent follow that blueprint like you said, instead of hanging around until Wilder inevitably tags them now. Will they all be able to pull it off like Fury, I dare say a few will but probably not Usyk. I think Usyk would need to “be perfect for 12 rounds” as Wilder says. Would be tough for him but not impossible.

    I have to see Wilders ring walk before I can make a prediction

    Obviously Usyk out boxes Wilder, he's far superior in terms of skill than Ortiz who out boxed Wilder. Comes down to how Usyk handles his power or if Usyk can devise a fight plan like Fury to take away his power with the tools he brings. If he can then he beats Wilder.

    But having said that Wilder is a huge puncher and we haven't seen Usyk in against a big heavyweight as a pro yet. Other cruisers have moved up and tried like Haye and Adamek and fell short, Usyk maybe just too small to compete with the top heavies.

    Tough pick as we still don't know how good Usyk is at heavyweight. I could see Usyk pulling it off, he is a tremendous boxer but until he shows he can compete with a true super heavy as a pro I have to give the edge to Wilder to come from behind and score the KO.

    Wilder's reach would get to Usyk.

    Usyk would retire Wilder and his 40lb gimp costume.

    Usyk and Ortiz are on a similar level of skill, but Ortiz has legitimate HW power to keep his opponents honest with. I definitely can’t see Tony Bellew winning 4 rounds of Ortiz.
