    Who CW's do you see potentially beat Deontay Wilder? I'd give Usyk, Huck, Ledebev, Kudryashov, and Cunningham good chance to KTFO Bum Squad. And lets be real, those guys would give much tougher test to Deontay than this guy Wawrzyk he's going to face in february.

    I'd definitely bet a good amount of cash on Briedis, Usyk, Lebedev and Kudryashov.

    Anyone that can punch could beat Wilder, but I'd have Wilder a firm fav over any cruiserweight.

    Best chances would be Gassiev, Breidis and maybe Kudryashov, Usyk is a relatively light puncher so i'd give him very little chance.

    Lol! Usyk is a solid puncher when he sits on his shots. And he would absolutely box Wilders head in worse than he did Joyce in the WSB

    There is lots o money to be made in the heavyweight division. You would figure that these great cruiserweights would escape their dangerous landscape where they make pennies and go for the easy prey in Wilder and the prestigious WBC belt.

    Usyk, Gassiev, Breidis, Huck - would all definitely beat hhim

    Lebedev, Drozd, Kudryashov, Glowacki, Wlodarczyk, Egorov would probably beat him

    Wilder would be the easiest night of Oleksandr Usyk's life

    And when they make the move to HW what will they do to Wilder? Kidnap him and force him to sign on the dotted line. He won't sign any papers until the opponent is a bum. He has to be coerced to fight anybody good.

    I'm waiting just like you guys for a credible opponent to defeat Wilder. The aforementioned cruiserweights can easily earn their mandatory positions by knocking over stiffs a'la David Haye. They should move up while the low hanging fruit is ripe

    Unfortunately, Usyk, Breidis, Huck, etc waste away their primes beating each other to a pulp for food stamps when such a kingdom of riches awaits for so little risk .

    I wouldn't pick any to beat him.

    Usyk has the skills and mobility to give Wilder a rough night.

    That said, fighting short, stocky sluggers really plays into Usyk's strengths. But they aren't going to prepare him to fight Wilder.

    if thats the case then they would move up and do this, but there a size difference and that creates stylistical problems,

    its tough to over come when your the smaller fight battling a taller man with a longer reach. there already big guys they hit hard your gonna have to get in there to land your shots you might be asking for a short career. but the cw division is viscious already so maybe risk is work reward because there already takin huge risks and the pay day cnt be like what these heavys are making.

    Maybe Usyk, but that's it. Wilder isn't as bad as his atrocious opposition may lead you to believe.

    He hits guys with the kitchen sink and barely wobbles them, Mchunu is pretty chinny and he went 9 taking plenty of shots.
    Mchunu wouldn't last more than 3 rounds against Bomber Bellew!!!!

    Glowacki ate his best with ease!!!
    Wilder will put Usyk in a coma, Usyk couldn't get him out of there so he would pay the price, Wilder is too big, too long and hits too hard. Joe Joyce is a bum, Wilder is legit.
