    I dont under estimate anything Usyk would get crushed in that fight plain and simple. It would be like Cruiser Holyfield trying to beat up Wlad Klitchko. you cannot win in the Hw divison with competant HW;s without power . Hughie Fury fight showws exactly that and Hughie is more crafty than Usyk. movement in the ring does no good if you cant engage close quarters.

    in reality all you guys underestimate Joshua and his skills which would vastly exploit the weaker Usyk. EASILY!

    Povetkin stopped a 240lb Perez in 90secs. Briedas was too afraid to even fight a 197lb version of Perez for 36 minutes.

    He would probably outpoint Parker. Wilder would be 50-50. Joshua would KO him.

    So a roided up Povetkin stopped a big fat sloppy out of shape unmotivated Perez in a round you say, maybe that had something to do with why he stopped him so easily.

    He wasn't afraid, he outboxed a guy who was lunging in with his head trying to hold and spoil his way through a fight.

    Charr was in great shape for both fights and Briedis stopped him faster and more violently than Povetkin, what? That doesn't count or something?

    LOL Hughie can win round 1 vs Usyk if Usyk gives that round.

    But most likely Usyk 120-108 Hughie on all cards, or RTD10 if corner sees it enough.

    Usyk is also a harder hitter than Hughie. Well, Chris Byrd is probably a harder hitter than poor Hughie, too.

    Povetkin has had no positive test result for roids. Charr is a C class fringe contender, so what he was KO'd slightly quicker by Briedis. He was softened up by Poverkin first. You will be claiming Briedis would be competitive vs 2012 Vitali next.

    He'd do very well. He'd box circles around most of them and have them swiping at thin air all night with his footwork, speed, athleticism, skill, elusiveness, ring IQ etc. He's a special talent.

    Charr was very overweight and looked like a bar drunkard ,he basically put his head down and ran right intoa Breidas uppercut..when you run into a punch thats twice the power,these guys are delusional.If they arent dominating ..and i mean dominating their own division with pulverising k.os they arent going to do much damage at HW. These cruisers arent even built to be Hw's at top level..they will see for sure!

    He wouldn't fair well because he is not a draw and he doesn't have power to stop his opponents. Look at Kovalev Ward 1 and GGG Canelo. The eastern Euro doesn't get any benefit of the doubt on the cards and neither would Usyk. He would prob lose a bogus decision to someone the promoters believe is more marketable. Having said that I think he could compete at heavy but not dominate. He lacks the punch and as good a boxer as he is- not sure he could outbox everyone

    The guy’s girlfriend got bent over by a Usyk lookalike or something. He’s ALWAYS badmouthing Usyk. But to say Hughie ****ing Fury is CRAFTIER than Oleksandr... :facepalm::facepalm: FFS.

    Why can't Usyk not stay at cw and Dominate then move up at the end of his career with a great legacy and try heavy how many cw could have been all time greats but fought at heavy and only had a decent career

    This is true but you know HW division is where its at. Most CW once on top think they can do it...you still need a certain thing to get that key win...and....

    Thats punching power or a combination of enough power and a style that would transition in the HW class.

    Take a look around bc theres going to be plenty of fools on here who cant put two and two together to understand this. Usyk doesn not possess certain things...one hes too inexperianced at HW if he weere to go against top exp. HW's.

    Hes NOT Holyfield nor Haye who both had much more speed and better style to transition here. how about M. moorer a former LHW? This guy COULD punch and had great trainers around him. He also had a calm style able to probe that GREAT jab...Usyk does not have this.

    So imop should he go at HW? Yea sure why not...do i think he defeat the belt holder? Not remotley.

    will this diminish his career? Well no bc no credible boxing fan/student or whatever thinks hes going to beat Joshua ,and will be lucky to defeat a top 10 guy at least at this point. This is reality.




    For the rest!

    And on H. Fury that guy is 6'6 and has great amatuer exp too...he has much better ppl around him and still learning,hes not going anywhere either at Hw and he would outpoint Usyk bc he would be harder to hit since Usyk does not apply a grinding style...boxing 101.

    If Usyk gets better than Hughie Fury ( a fighter i dont care for) in the next year we'll see. for now have fun with suping up guys to a level they arent right now @ the imbeciles on here!

    Thats what people don't understand He might be able to outbox a heavyweight but he doesn't have the power to stop them in there tracks and they will start landing shots I can see someone like Aj walking through him if he had a punch that style could work
