    List very soon? You can't deny talent like that...

    He's doing what Ward was doing at SMW, cleaning it out with little or no top level experience.

    Wins the tourney & he's a lock for a high p4p ranking for me.

    Gassiev is a Beast, Breidis a smart boxer with dynamite hands, both in there primes. If Uysk beats these 2 he can go into the top 5. And would have one of the Best cw resumes of all time. because these 2 he needs to beat are very strong fighters.

    I'd favour him over both.

    So would i, but people will dust it off as nothing wins, when i can tell you they will be extremely good wins. They only care what he can do at HW, not what hes doing at cw. CW is a murderers row right now.

    This.

    "Breidis and Gassiev, who did they ever beat. Huck was a bum ..." :rolleyes:

    Cruiserweight is probably about the most exciting division in boxing right now.

    100% this, that's the problem with cruiser if you perform there people just want you to move up. I know usyk has floated the idea of moving up but would it really be a bad thing if he never moved up but built up the greatest most dominant resume at cruiserweight? I don't think so.

    He's an animal.

    It's mad, arguably the three best fighters in the world are Usyk, Naoya and Lomachenko, so little experience the three of them.

    I'm sure Ward and Crawford would have plenty to say about it, but still, it's possible.

    Bold statement. Lomachenko fight's & beats Rigondeaux then he's p4p #1 for me. I don't think there is a better natural talent in boxing (barring Loma himself) than Rigo.. Looks a tad fragile at times admittedly.

    And all the top talent and belts are in the super 8 tournament . Unlike the 168 tournament that looks very mediocre.

    I know lebedevs wba belt isn't there but gassing put a beat down on him and he's getting very old looking. Is usyk wants it he could pick it up after the tournament without breaking a sweat

    I don't know if there is an incarnation @ CW who can beat him. Looks pretty unstoppable right about now.

    Will win WBSS and then move up to heavy.

    Posted in another thread about him v AJ and he has the beating of AJ! Handled Joe Joyce easily in WSB. Too fast and slick for AJ. BUT AJ's power would always be there so he could not be ruled out

    So sick of hearing about Ward, he even gets thrown into an usyk thread. Bad enough that last nights great card was ruined but those cucks Kellerman and Lampley licking that dirt bags ass and fawning over his cheating and gifts from his paid off refs and judges.

    All he did in the super six was fight at home and foul his way through that.

    Mentioning a guy like Ward in the same sentence as Usyk makes me sick to my ass.
