Usyk vs. Wilder, who takes it?

Stepping out on limb are we?

What's the biggest weapon against a southpaw?
The straight or overhand right.
Who has one of the most dangerous right hands in recent HW history?
Wilder.

Just posting facts.

 

In all honesty I actually reckon Wilder's power is gone. I know they say it's the last thing to go but he has looked terrible ever since Fury finished with him. Maybe he just can't get the timing right and he is hesitant to throw the right hand.

 

Yeah I agree. His mind makes promises his body can't fill.

Saw a video yesterday where Usyk said he "scans" his opponents in the first round or two then takes what he's learned and goes to work. That's actually scary. Like what Mayweather did with McGregor. People saying Floyd would ko Conor in 1 round didn't understand the process. Floyd took his time, figured it put then went to work.

 

What Floyd did to Conor was pretty much how you handle beginners in sparring but Conor did have a few surprising tricks up his sleeve that Floyd wasn't anticipating like the nice counter uppercut I also think he hurt Floyd to the body at one stage but Floyd pretty much just let Conor gas himself out. Yep Usyk is scary smart it doesn't matter who is in front of him he will not underestimate them even if they are not on his level. Agree about Wilder wanting to do things but his body won't let him that is a good description. His timing is off as well even though he was never that skilled what made him dangerous was when he perfectly timed that right hand. It's like the scope has been damaged on his rifle probably thanks to Fury.

 

True - I am glad Parker beat Wardley, and Frazer Clarke beat Jeamie TKV.
Good old logic.

 

Being able to pick out an exception or two doesn't disprove the point - it's still the case that the majority of times picking the huge underdog doesn't make sense.

 

Which other top 10 heavyweight can Wilder beat? lol

 

Usyk inside 3.

Don’t actually blame Usyk. Fights against Kabayel and Wardley don’t sell so may as well get paid a decent amount to fight a well known name.
