I can imagine Wladimir Klitschko as a HW champion again (win over Fury, with or without the fight). What do you expect in the case of the fight against his younger compatriot Usyk ? I don't think that Usyk is better than Wlad generally speaking, but Wlad is evidently passed his prime, and Usyk has better skillset and chin. Of course, Wlad is bigger and more powerful, so if this match take place next year, it can be considerd 50/50 type. What do you think ? Without nationalistic trolling, please !
I don't see how this could be a 50/50 fight. Wladmir is MUCH larger than Usyk. The size and weight difference is just way too much.
Usyk has a quite solid height and reach (same as "the greatest" had), so it is enough for HW champion. Should I mention Louis, Holyfield and Tyson ?
Usyk is southpaw, awkward style, faster, younget its all wrong for Wlad. I see Usyk win by KO in early rounds.
If Klitschko somehow gets a belt then it won't end Well.usyk or some other young gun will take him out.best pack it in before he gets hurt.
In a much smaller era. Jeez, do you think it's a coincidence all the SHW final four were over 6'5 in the Olympics? Usyk is way over hyped. He doesn't have the size or power to be at the top of the modern era. I could see a little, mega hard hitting Tysonesque guy becoming a champ again, but that's not Usyk. He's better off staying at cw where I could see him dominating
Holyfield and Tyson "in a much smaller era" ? :bart Staying in CW is senseless for Usyk - no money, no glory... And, he is not overrated at all, and we (boxing fans) need him at HW...
Usyk's brutal standing ko of cruiserweight brute Pedro Rodriguez in a paltry 7rds is nothing to be scoffed at. With such vanquished foes on his excellent resume, Usyk is more than ready to take out Wlad, Joshua, Parker and Wilder in impressive fashion and early if I might add
