Is Wladimir Klitschko the only boxer in history that can realistically beat Usyk

Wladimir is the only heavyweight atg who has an extensive record against southpaws. Ali, Lewis, Holmes, Tyson, they've never fought a top level southpaw, even the great Holyfield lost to Moorer. This mean that Usyk is functionally the best heavyweight to ever fight in hypothetical h2h matchups because he's encountered similar styles to greats from the past but they've never encountered his plus all sports evolve, therfor this era of heavyweights is the strongest it's ever been

Corrie Sanders disagrees.

If Wlad wins it's because he jabs and grabs Usyk to a boring 12 rd decision. It could happen, Wlad was a great fighter and damn effective at what he did. But there's no guarantee he wins, Usyk apparently gave him all he could handle in sparring for the Fury fight. Usyk might just be too slippery and too smart and out box Wlad.

 

Vitaly. Not Wlad.

 

Tyson’s got the tools against a southpaw and the common issue (a southpaw neutralizing jabs) is irrelevant against Tyson, who doesn’t need to jab and whose game isn’t built off a jab.

 

I will take that as you calling Wlad the best heavyweight of all time or at worst top 3

 

It's actually correct, he probably is.
He has the size, speed and boxing skills like Fury but unlike Fury has massive power in both hands. That's really the main reason he wins because Fury has about the same power as Usyk, maybe slightly more, but Wlad has way more. Fury compensates with the engine and defence but Wlad might not need the engine if he lands.

We should never forget how Povetkin was falling over getting touched by Wlad with snappy little shots.
Most Wlad fights went like this: other fighter stays in boring fight until Wlad lands some big clean hits then the fight is shortly concluded.
That's why everyone was waiting for Fury to get nailed.
Usyk can still win though, but I doubt he can KO him, which means he has to avoid the big shots for 12 rounds.
Nobody likes Wlad he's a weirdo but he is a dangerous weirdo, we have to be honest and stop letting emotions and bigotries decide things.

 

Mike Tyson
There are others too, but Mike in my opinion eats him up

 

I think Bowe is a hard matchup for both W. Klitschko and Usyk.

Winneh The Pooh when he really feels motivated to come rescue Eeyore.

 

Yeah, but Winnie struggles against Tigger's speed and movement. Usyk, although, not as fast and doesn't move as well as Tigger, still is a top notch operator.

 

Vitali doesn't have power to bother Usyk, plus he would be easier to hit due to keeping his hands below his hips.
