Does Beterbiev have any chance against Usyk at cruiser

No.

But Usyk was definitely surprised by his power. See it on his face and was hurt by the sly bodywork.

He will be surprised by Fury's speed and odd angles he can throw from.

 

So yesterday you asked if Claressa Shields could compete with Usyk and now your asking if Beterbiev can. Combining the two, I'd say that if Shields can get by Beterbiev. then she can go after Usyk.

 

No even Beterbiev himself said a while back that Usyk is too big for him .

 

He said Usyk is too big at HW.

If it was at CW Beterbiev would be interested. He is on record as saying this.

Also fact: in 2018 after Usyk won the belts at CW, Beterbiev said to Eddie Hearn he would be willing to move up to CW and fight Usyk but neither Hearn or Usyk responded. Usyk then moved up to HW, rightfully so, so chase the bigger money fights.

 

No but it would be a fun fight.

 

I think Artur would put up a better fight than many think, but Usyk would beat him and it would be a clear win. And that’s IF Artur was given maybe a year to put on solid size the right way and get ready for that one.

But yeah, Usyk UD

 

There's no rehydration clause so Beterbiev does not worry have to worry about losing weight like he does at 175lbs to hit the scales.

So he would be around 190lbs ish and probably slightly over that in the ring.

Look how "small" Usyk looks off-camp. He's probably around 210lbs. I dont think there would be a massive difference between them like people think.

 

If Usyk-AJ2 is anything to go by, where Usyk looked waaay more 2-dimensional than his previous self, even AJ-Usyk1, then maybe. I've always thought Beterbiev fights a little stiff. Not Anthony Joshua levels of robotics, but he's the type of fighter Usyk (and maybe even Bivol, I guess) eats alive, but who in turns eats the Joe Smiffs of this world alive

Beterbiev could probably unify cruiserweight at this point, but won't because it's full of paper champs who'll avoid him and outside of 2-3 spots in its entire history, it's about as useful as bridgerweight - and people need to seriously wake up and realise this. 175 is a beautiful, gorgeous division that combines the biomechanics of the average man with one of the richest histories in boxing. Heavyweight is also the marque division where the big, rich boys live. Cruiserweight meanwhile is fundamental dog**** for second-rate heavies, past-it light heavies and middleweight cherrypickers. 2017-2018 was the exception, not the rule, sheeple

 

Beterbiev knocks out Usyk cold in cruiserweight, in my opinion.

 

Nobody is talking about Fury . You need help. Your obsession with another man isn’t healthy.

 

No. Usyk stops him.

 

In fairness, I think it's only right that King Artur and Grandmaster Usyk battle it out first, just to earn the right to face Shields . There also needs to be some kind of handicap, no matter if it was Beterbiev or Usyk. Maybe tie Shields hands together behind her back for the first 5 rounds, just to give those two men a chance otherwise it would just become farcical.

 

Perhaps she can take them on in a WWE style tag team match.
