Vitali Klitschko vs Oleksandr Usyk

Vitali is smart and accurate. He knocks Usyk down, doesn't matter how agile Usyk is. Vitali is better.

 

Vitaly

The guy is close to impossible to beat on points and that would be Usyk's only hope.
Huge reach advantage, power advantage, size advantage...

 

Vitali would have trouble landing imo. Could be close.

 

Vitali is probably a GOAT Head to Head throughout history but he really lacks the resume to crack even the Top 15 on anyone's list.

He simply didn't achieve enough.

 

Usyk respects Vitali more than Wlad.

Maybe he thinks he will be in trouble against him.

I will favor Vitali just based on his mental strength

 

Difficult to say, but anyone who's not particularly quick fighting in an orthodox way should be concerned vs Usyk.

I'm going 60/40 in Usyk's favour. 6/10 Usyk UD's, 4/10 Vitali KO's.

 

Vitali, master of distance, nice head pull back defense and a extra sense like a 6th sense to be able to decipher when his opponent chooses to throw their right hand.

 

Vitali isn't Joshua, Usyk as great as he is, hasn't shown that he can beat someone on Vitali's level. If he schools Fury then I'll need to reassess my view on him but until he does I have to favour Vitali.

 

Vitali quit against a slick midget southpaw

Usyk UD

 

I know it’s another fantasy match up but Vitali is a different kind of fighter to Joshua who is the biggest win so far of Usyks Heavyweight career. I’ve said it before and il say it again, Usyk is a class fighter and a special talent no doubt about it,but at this point far too much is being made of his two wins over the flawed Joshua ! Both Vitali and Usyk share a common opponent in Chisora and Vitali did deal with a fresher Chisora better in 2012 than Usyk who failed to impress with his win over Chisora in 2020. Oh wait a minute I forgot how stupid of me ! Usyk carried Chisora to get the Joshua fight GTFOH ! Usyk was already WBO mandatory to Joshua well before the Chisora fight .

 

Resume according to who? Vitali beat 8 ring magazine contenders when he fought they were ranked and fought others men who were ranked in the past or champions.

I'm very high on Usyk but the problem with Vits is that not only is he enormous, he also has a high workrate and doesn't overextend himself. I honestly couldn't say at this point. Lean toward Vitali.

 

Usyk is clearly a good fighter, but he is being matched up with Vitali who not only has a high work are but has an innate judge of distance and timing which he conies with towering height and reach ( his arms are long. 29.5" from the pit of the shoulder to the first based on HBO's reach which was longer than Lewis ) would limit Usyk's normal game. Good fight though.

 

Yeah this would be a hard one for Usyk. Like ridiculously hard.
