Do people still doubt Usyk's ability to clean out the division?

    Listen Fury is still the ****ing man. He beat Wlad and Wilder.

    Usyk hasn’t even fought yet ffs.

    He's a terrific fighter and not really that small of a HW. I don't know how he'd beat someone like Fury who could just box him from a distance and keep him on the edge of his jab all night. He'd have to try to get inside and make it a rough fight.

    He's such a skillful fighter but I can't imagine he could fight perfectly for 12 rounds and not get touched by Wilder's right hand. Deontay carries that freakish country boy strength into championship rounds so Usyk would have to be perfect defensively for all 12 which I don't think he'd be able to considering how unorthodox Deontay is.

    Yeah he did because he has and always has had a hideous glass chin and he was too stupid not to walk straight into a big right hand


    Dropped by 300lb walking blob David Saulsberry

    Went life and death against and was bounced up and down off the canvas like a yo-yo by a Mike Mollo who hadn't fought in 2.5 years and was 1-1-2 in his last 4 fights, both loses to shot fighters, the draw against a tomato can.

    Knocked out by Bryant ''Earnie Shavers'' Jennings

    Sparked by Donkey ''Bum Squad'' Wilder

    Dropped and stopped by Polesbury Doughboy Kownacki

    Dropped and nearly stopped by a way past it Wach

    Not to mention all the other times he's been hurt or almost gone down

    Usyk ain't no Ali or Holyfield no matter how you cut it.

    I imagine after the 20th right hand goes whistling past Usyk's head and he eats a right hook counter, Wilder will be a little gun shy.

    Yes, but 6'3'' southpaw Szpilka, who is 100-times lesser boxer than Usyk, outboxing Wilder for the first 8 rounds has.

    Those two never had stringent drug testing like Usyk had. Maybe Holyfield could give Usyk his HGH.

    Ruiz is OK , but he isn’t anything special. AJ was always a poor man’s wlad, he is a manufactured champ .

    He needs it if he gets in there with Wilder. Just like Fury.

    I think Usyk can be a force in the division. Clean out, i doubt it. At least until he competed once in the division.

    USYK = 100 MPH in both foot work, head movement, upper body movement/twisting and throwing punches
    WILDER = Paw out flicking jab, step back awkwardly, paw out flicking jab, step back awkwardly, hope to land big right hand

    USYK will make Wilder fight on his rhythm and I can see WILDER befuddled, confused and broken after 4 rounds. Constantly being made to operate at a pace he's not ready for and getting hit/missing his own shots. These heavyweights today are WEAK. USYK has real world class skills in a small heavyweights body, ready to expose them.
