After a fight with Anthony Joshua Oleksandr Usyk said something like this:"The hardest fight would be with Tyson Fury, and the easiest with Deontay Wilder". Your opinions
Usyk is great against static boxers, but he is dreadful against moving targets. So he is right. As a matter of fact, I think Canelo knocks out Usyk.
Regardless, I'd really like to see both fights. And sooner rather than later. I know Wilder is a one-trick pony, but i'm honestly excited to see what a beltless Wilder will do now that he doesn't have anything to lose.
Actually, yes. Deontay Wilder's style should be made to order for Usyk. All he would have to do is avoid the Bronze Bomber's bombs and all should be well. Usyk by Unanimous 12 round decision would be my guess.
Wilder KO's him. Yeah I said it He lands that lightning and leaves Usyk on the canvas making noises. After AJ has managed to beat Usyk with his 20% punchers chance you'll understand. AJ is not a good boxer and he tried to box Usyk who is a supreme boxer. Obviously he was going to lose with them tactics. Even Fury who is a supreme boxer isn't going to pure box Usyk (might have tried 5 years ago) On paper beating Wilder is easy, take away his right hand and box his head off. Problem is...easier said than done. He's a man with a pair of boxing gloves, he can land on you. This isn't a fairy dream world where you can avoid everything a man throws at you. You are going to get hit against Wilder, if you can't handle his power he will beat you. Only Ruiz Jr, Hughie Fury, Joyce & Tyson can survive Wilder. But I digress please try and convince yourselves and others that Wilder's power is overrated. He's a wierdo and it's really not fair. It's a shame Wilder's career was managed poorly.
Why do you say that? Usyk hasn't faced a skilled boxer as Canelo before. He was losing against Bellew until the knockout. Considering Bellew moves only half good as Canelo, Canelo knocks out Usyk.
Usyk via UD. Wilder is always dangerous & can land at any time. This isn't a guaranteed win for Usyk. All it'll take is one shot from the Bronze Bomber to end Usyk's night.
At the end of round 7 Bellew was 1 round up with one judge and level on another....had Bellew managed to get to the end of round 8 he was behind on 2 cards....hardly worth emphasising that Bellew was beating him ffs!! I will bet all that i own on an Uysk win should Canelo decide he wants to fight Uysk anytime in the next 18 months
You are right, if Usyk avoid all Wilder's bombs. Usyk had a cut on his right eyebrow after a fight With AJ. What would have happened if Wilder had made the cut, or/and shockwave? I disagree with that. Only Tyson Fury can survive shockwave (I didn't understand if you mentioned Mike Tyson or Tyson Fury). Andy Ruiz Jr. would not be knocked out by the shockwave (the question is how much he would be capable of further fight); Hughie Fury & Joyce would be knocked out.
@James Hudson Let's see: Bellew was 35 and Usyk was 31 when they fought. 4 years age advantage, and still Bellew was winning by points. Now Usyk is 35 and Canelo is 31, and Canelo is more skilled and moves better than Bellew. So, Canelo knocks out Usyk.
What you posted shows how ignorant you are. That is probably the only Usyk match you have ever seen. Except for Anthony Joshua, Usysk almost always analyzed his opponents for the first few rounds, then after figuring out them, he dismantled them. Bellew was no different than any of his other matches.
AJ landed one or two big shots in the whole fight. Same applies to Wilder. Usyk is tough and has a great chin, he's also hard to hit. Could Deontay land something big and get a knockdown? Maybe. Would he knock Usyk out cold? No. With that in mind, I expect Usyk to dominate, maybe get knocked down once but win an easy UD.
