    Usyk already schooled him and beat the **** out of him at CW and almost stopped him late. I can't see how it would be any different.

    Both boxers are similar in size, I would say Usyk wins convincingly on points...

    Hunter has settled into HW pretty well, doesn’t seem to have the same stamina problems he did down at cruiser. Let’s see how Usyk gets on against Chisora next Saturday, personally I think he’s in for a very rough night.

    Hunter was coming off a long layoff in his cruiserweight fight with Usyk, so I think a rematch at heavyweight would be more competitive than people think.

    That said I don’t see it happening, since Usyk has nothing to gain by fighting Hunter. Considering how highly ranked Usyk is with the WBO Usyk will likely sit on his ranking until he gets a titleshot with Joshua assuming he gets by a Chisora.

    Usyks engine and volume mixed in . with hunter being heavier than usyk gas problems as well. In a rematch usyk stops him

    Breidis was the one that should be credited with bringing Usyk to the wire, Hunters good but you’d think it was meant to be a draw with some on here against Usyk

    Difficult to judge Usyk's gas tank. Now he is older of course and WBSS tournament for him was not easy.
    Murat despite with not enough experience was very strong, tough like rock and with excellent gas tank.
    Briedis is not suitable tool to comapre because this looks that even had better success if fights were 15 rounds not 12 rounders.
    Not only vs Usyk, vs Dorticos too his best performance were exactly last rounds.

    Very difficult to guess shape they are in now, does they have good health etc. Usyk also does long mileage in amatuers under belt.
    This does have pros and cons. more exp is good, too much fights still not good.


    Might be interesting to see Usyk's shape now.
    Damn, how good might be if they all were younger....
