    Who exactly did Usyk crush in his professional career allowing people to say that he would crush Kova and Beter ?

    C level Knyazev was pushing Usyk at times, so I am not sure how he will handle pressure from Beterbiev without headgear and big uncomfortable gloves.

    Medzhidov 6'5ish who rocked repeatedly and beat Joshua in the amateurs, Nistor who KO'd Joshua in the amateurs, Joe Joyce who's 6'6 and a real talent, and KO2 Matteo Modugno who's 6 foot 7.:deal

    Just watching their olympic bout, there really was a VERY noticeable size difference.

    Not surprising I know, but when you see it, it does hit you immediately

    Yeah its strange, I've noticed that as well, Nistor who also isn't incredibly tall gave him troubles occasionally as well.

    And in Beterbievs first fight he took on Michael Hunter who isa guy who has fought as high as 218 as a pro(Although he has gotten himself in shape and is back down at Cruiser)

    Tough fights for a guy now at 175

    Q: Oleksandr, you won most everything as an amateur, including the gold at the 2012 Olympics. Who would you say gave you your hardest fight as an amateur?

    Oleksandr Usyk: “Well, all those fights, they all took place within the last couple of years or so, so it’s hard to say. Maybe, if I was pushed to say, it was Artur Beterbiev of Russia who gave me my roughest fight. He is very aggressive and he does hit very hard.”
