Usyk has a really good chance, his offensive skills are superior to anyone in the division, his only issue is heavyweight power.
Many predicted this before he won his first CW belt. Those in the know about Usyk from the amateurs, often said that he was a lock for a heavyweight belt. I don't think many saw him unifying the CW division but fortunately the WBSS came along. And now people are expecting Usyk to repeat his success at HW.
Does he have the size to compete with the heavyweights these days?Alot of heavyweights are much bigger than him.
Very capable of doing it BUT the clock is ticking and the body is creaking after a long amateur and pro career at elite level. Covid-19 has hurt his career far more than it has AJ, Fury and Wilder.
The only thing that will be cleaned is the ring mat, with Usyk's puny remains, crushed under a huge overweight behemoth, and scooped up by the ring attendants when he's squatted like a fly, lol these cruiserweights can't compete at heavyweight.
He pretty much has the same issues Holyfield had but we all know it turned out great for the real deal. Only problem is Usyk’s age
His offensive skills??? Do you include power in that?? Because he doesnt have more power than 8 of the top 10 IMO also his hand speed is slower than fury, parker, ruiz etc.
his legs are faster than Parkers and definitely faster than Ruiz legs. Okey, probably his clinch game might be inferiour to Fury, Briedis, maybe even Ruiz if he managed to clinch him.
This. Usyk has the talent to beat anyone at heavyweight, but I don’t see his body holding up long enough for him to clean out the division, since he’ll be 34 in just a couple of months and he has way more wear and tear than any of the top heavyweights besides Luis Ortiz, who also unfortunately had time catchup with him by the time he was able to get a title shot. Due to Covid it’s anyones guess how long it would take for Usyk to get a title shot.
I have confidence usyk can take a guy like wilder maybe if he avoids the right hand. Fury maybe also . still a toss up the one guy i worry for usyk is AJ. AJ has alot of inside game
