    at cruiser, bivol's technical ability is equal to Usyk

    how would he do?

    I think Usyk would take it because he’s a bit bigger and a bit too skilled.

    Usyk would smash Bivol who is a small 175lber. That's why it was laughable when people even suggested that Canelo had a chance of ever beating Usyk.

    Usyk loses the rounds he takes off & a few early rounds baiting shots from Bivol working him out.

    but Usyk just picks off the majority of the rounds

    Canelo would get staunched by Usyk, the bias of seeing Bivol take Canelo apart should not sway you to think he can compete with Usyk.

    Just like seeing Usyk pick the bodybuilder apart should not make you think he can deal with Fury with as much ease.

    Usyk, Bivol and Fury are supreme boxers for their weight, they get underestimated because they are treated like light hitting guys who might not be tough, but everyone should know now these guys can take one and they can lay it on also. Just because they aren't raw punchers doesn't mean you should see them are less deadly.

    Lot of people thought maybe Bivol wouldn't be able to handle Canelo's power or have any power of his own to deter Canelo and that was totally wrong.

    Thinking about it respect that AJ actually gave Usyk's deadliness full respect from round 1. Sadly he will have to risk it all in the rematch and walk at him at stages.

    He's too small

    He could make 168lb comfortably

    Usyk is a big cruiserweight

    Bivol doesn't trouble Usyk. Usyk does everything Bivol does but better.

    Based on recent world events, Usyk would carry Bivol and beat him badly for all 36 minutes.

    Uysk would beat him comfortably.

    They should fight now...Bivol and Beterbiev first with Usyk getting the winner. Usyk will win of course, but it will be good for both sides, as heavyweight without Fury is a ghost town, and Usyk would get more historical cred from this than beating Paint-dry Parker or Sugar-Bob Helenius.
