Usyk needs to stay at Cruiserweight

he shouldnt go near Joshua or Wilder

Breidis is a good puncher but he's a cruiserweight, if Wilder or Joshua connect with those right hands as easily as Breidis was its lights out for Usyk

fully fit Fury also clowns him

 

Neither of those fighters has the speed to trouble Usyk. Usyk struggles more with smaller fighters rather than bigger ones. He out classed elite larger heavies before anyway.

 

Joshua would be like Homer Simpson gasping for air chasing Usyk around. If Usyk can avoid the one punch in the first few rounds he has a terrific chance at beating him.

 

Nah, if he wins the WBSS there's not much left to do at cruiser. Every cruiser wants to have a go at the top heavies, and to be honest he's got a better chance of beating Joshua than a top 5/10 contender like Pulev or Whyte or even Parker.

 

Lol!! No. He doesn’t need to stay there. He’ll be more than ok at HW making guys like Joshua look stupid.

 

He has the ability and speed but not enough TNT for me. Haye had more TNT at cruiser.

 

Imagine David Price against a machine like Usyk. That would just be painful to watch.

But I agree with the op that Joshua is probably too powerful. Not so sure about Wilder who is frankly rubbish and Usyk could just box rings around all night.

 

If he weights in as a cruiser and fights the same game plan then sure; he'd be in world of trouble.

 

Joshua doesn't have the stamina of briedis lol.. still pick usyk vs both of them. although might not be as clear as I thought it would be.

 

I believed from the start he would find it hard to come out of cruiser without a loss because I think when someone can challenge him.for speed he isnt as effective defensively.

I dont think he can be a serious threat at heavyweight but he will easily defeat some contenders. And may pick up a trinket if a weaker titlist has one.
He might aswell take a run at it and cash out.

 

Breidis isnt super quick. Usyk was standing in front of him and getting caught all night. Usyk is a great fighter but weight classes exist for a reason

 

Guys do you realise that Briedis already won against the current WBA champion with such an ease? Heavyweight division is terribly bad right now and Usyk, Briedis and Gassiev probably beat 95 % of it.

 

I want to see Briedis back at HW too. That guy has more as enough power to put some big boys lights out.
And Gassiev, and Dorticos!

Can you imagine how great HW would be?
Make heavyweight great again, by making it feel again! Vote Usyk for Heavyweight 2018
