Funny how everyone talked smack about usyks win against chisora, strangely it was way clearer than whytes and parkers win. Chisora gives anyone always fits. Fury and vitali are the only guys who made easy work out of him
Pulev also made it easy work. But yeah Usyk is underrated. We saw how Joshua struggled with the smaller, mobile Erislandy Savon. Usyk will gave him fits. That fight is 60/40 favoring Aj. Unpopular opinion but i think Aj will struggle with Usyk more than he will with Fury. I've always thought Aj has Fury's number. Fury isn't some guy with lightspeed feet that runs around the ring all day, Ajs footspeed isn't much slower, he will eventually catch him. Usyk has a significantly smaller hitbox than Fury and is more mobile. Aj can possibly break Fury down and stop him. Otto Wallin applied pressure, worked the body and and gave Fury issues so Aj could pull it off. But agaisnt Usyk, Aj will have an extremely difficult time
Literally all Usyk has to do is let AJ gain some confidence at some point in the early rounds and unleash the barrage, let AJ blow his wad, then wait for around round 10ish and try to stop him. Usyk has a good gas tank, and he's also very accurate.
It's quite interesting the landscape. Usyk imo beats wilder easy and will probably beat aj, but clearly get outboxed by fury imo. Aj will ko fury, I am pretty sure about that. His combination punching is great and he is physically stronger than fury. Aj will imo lose to wilder early by ko So they all can beat each other. Quite interesting who will come out on top
I think y'all are overselling Usyk at HW. I haven't seen anything from him to suggest he can become the top dog, plus he's old.
Unless the Fury fight falls through, I dont see Usyk V Joshua ever happening. If I was Usyk I'd be going for Ruiz, Wilder, Whyte, somebody like that. Would probably do decent numbers on PPV unlike Joyce which as I've said before is high risk low reward. Usyk needs to fight a top 10 heavy this year imo. He's too old to just sit around and wait for years on end.
Fury and Joshua need to fight. Full stop. After that, you have Wilder, Usyk, Ruiz, Ortiz and Whyte. It would appear Ruiz and Ortiz are on a collision course, which is good, so you have some fight to make between two of the other three. All of them are due for a top opponent, so it should happen in 2021.
When this scrawny Usyk properly drops a heavyweight, then we can talk. Until then I will be sleeping in my cryogenic ice pod in space!
Haye yeah, he performed vs Chisora better than Parker and Usyk. I expected that Parker being larger and younger will look better vs Chisora than Usyk, I had get upset. Looks that A.J too does have problems to stop boxers. Yeah, he had beated Pulev as had been predicted, old out of retirement Wlad and over the hill old Povetkin. He also had stopped Takam, Takam already had been stopped by Povetkin in 2014. If boxers is younger, he had problems to stop boxer: already 3 fights popped up: Parker 1X and Ruiz 2X. Usyk too looks that does not have punch like Haye who had stopped Chisora.
I think Usyk could outpoint AJ but do any of us believe Usyk would get a decision against AJ? At the time of the stoppage in the first fight against Ruiz Jr, AJ was a point up on one card 57-56 and a point behind on the other two 57-56, 57-56. That's all you need to know.
