    Usyk most likely. Tua seemed incapable of winning the big ones

    Usyk would box his face off. He would get caught with some powerful hooks and might even get dropped but overall Usky UD.

    Usyk boxes Tua's head off.

    Usyk simply moves around and keeps it at his arms length, he keeps Tua turning and keeps pivoting off of the ropes and doesn't let him in or get set to throw his power punches, Tua had to set and plant his feet to throw and he needed a still target or one that is trapped on the ropes to do that, that is why it took him ages to stop Maskaev who was boxing his ears off by moving around and he got trapped on the ropes and Tua caught him and, Usyk would not get trapped on the ropes, also Tua didn't set a high pace, so Usyk would be able to control the pace also, I see a clear decison win for usyk

    Usyk is the most overrated fighter on this forum.I am not impressed by him as a heavweight.

    This surprises me. You typically seem like a guy that appreciates highly technical fighters like Uysk. I'm definitely on the Uysk bandwagon. Too me, he is a throwback to an era when heavyweights could truly fight and had skill. Over the last twenty years or so the heavyweight division has been a big man's game. Uysk is a refreshing entry.

    I think he cleanly outfoxed the slow footed and limited Tua.

    Having said that, I would like to see more of Usky before a firm prediction.

    Usyk schools him but Tua could land something big

    Very true. I'm definitely not on the Usyk band wagon. So far he hasnt impressed me whatsoever. Tua never wins the big one though. One of the top 5 most overrated fighters on the forum. I just dont get the fascination with the man. Lazy mostly fat with no gameplan.

    He might defeat Tua yes who was slow to close the gap.I am just not high on him as a heavweight.Joshua and Fury would beat him
