    Usyk vs Wlad Klitschko and Vitali Klitschko. Does Usyk go 2-0? 1-1 or 0-2

    I think he beats Vitali in a competitive but clear fight Usyk style would give Vitali too much issues imo. Wlad is a much tougher fight pretty much 50/50 in my opinion both have attributes that give the other trouble. I can see it going either way might favor Usyk slightly just because I feel he was more adaptable and has better cardio (and I like him more lol) but would be a rough outing.

    Would be interesting.

    Vitali has a type of gas tank and accuracy/aggression that these SHW's lack to stay with Uysk in later rounds but he also had problems with Byrd's slickness who isn't Uysk. Same with Wlad he was the master at dealing with shorter fighters who are speedy or awkward. But Uysk would be able to escape the clinch and pressure Wlad with his workrate.

    2-0. Usyk's Southpaw stance. skills, and adaptability would have won the day against both, but they would have been very competitive decision wins.

    Very tough fights for Usyk.

    Vitali would be the one that could hang with the work rate and his Iron chin does not fail him against Usyk. I see VK winning a split decision on aggression. His size and reach give him the ability to hit Usyk first before Usyk can close and then get tiled up by VK. It is ugly and Usyk will have his moments. I just do not see any way for him to shake up and get to the bigger man. Vk takes this with Usyk just about done after 12 rounds.

    Against Wlad, he is in for a very hard night. Wad could hit like the smell of a brick shithouse in deep summer. He could take Usyk out quickly. He has reach and power and knows how to use both. But, there is a chance that Usyk gets him in trouble and that relentless pressure breaks the more fragile minded Wlad down over time. Wlad had some stamina issues especially when he was in a panic situation which will happen often against Usyk.

    Usyk will beat Wlad in a late round surge, prompting big brother VK to take up the problem later .

    Usyk splits the difference.

    Wlad would be the best fighter he ever fought, Vitali wound be the 2nd best. He'd lose one

    There's not a minute of the Tyson Fury fight that indicates hed have even a modicum of success against Usyk.
    No low out -put , single shotter who needs the opponent to be stood still before committing is beating Usyk.
    Both of them get clowned.
    The ring IQ levels between them isn't even remotely close.

    I don’t think Usyk gets Wlad but he does have a weird looking fight he wins vs Vitali, I think Wlad actually destroys Usyk, that that’s his hardest match up at least that I can think of…

    So you'll pick Wlad to beat Usyk but not Rex Layne to beat Usyk? I don't understand

    I would pick Rex Layne to be LHW champion at some point from 2000 onwards to today…

    Wlad would be a much tougher fight for Usyk than Vitali. Wlad actually has a solid winning record against southpaws, and that lean back **** Vitali does wouldn’t work against someone like Usyk.

    Beats them both in the same night when Vitali pulls something and retires, and Wlad gasses out and falls over, later claiming to be poisoned.

    I think Spinks was poisoned on June 27, 1988
