    Everyone says that till they catch the right hand. Wilder would blast him out of the ring, i wouldn't pick anyone against Wilder except AJ.

    People think just because he beat up Joyce he can cope with the big men but trust me AJ and Wilders power will be the difference.

    Southpaw Szpilka gave Wilder perhaps his toughest fight, Usyk is lightyears above Szpilka and anyone else Wilder has fought.

    Give Usyk Wilder's resume and he'd be undefeated too.

    What happened when Wilder landed clean on spilka, Hunter's athleticism gave Usyk his toughest fight and he was a 10 fight novice, if his speed troubled Usyk then Wilder will land at some point.

    I agree Usyk could probably beat everyone Wilder has beaten but I wouldn't pick him to beat Wilder. Anyone but AJ and Wilder I got Usyk winning.

    But that's my point Usyk wouldn't allow himself to be hit by shots like that.

    I'm not saying Usyk 100% wins, Wilder whilst his technique is terrible at times is very effective and you've obviously got his power. I just think that true class will tell if they fight.

    It's a fight, I don't think he would allow himself to get hit but wilder is bring speed power and accuracy to the table too. I only brought the hunter fight to show Usyk whilst it doesn't seem it has weakness just like every other fighter. It will be interesting to see the Dorticos fight if it happens, his style would trouble Usyk because he bring a unique athleticism which Gassiev and Breidis just don't have.

    Usyk is an exceptional talent so whilst I would pick Wilder he has a chance especially if he gets to points. He could outpoint Wilder but my pick would be Wilder by KO, Hopefully he cleans out th CW division and moves up, if he does that and beats Wilder and AJ man we are witnessing a legend.

    Usyk wouldn't get to face Wilder. Even if the fight were to be made, Usyk would magically fail a drugs test to allow Wilder to fight a wino with about 3 days notice.

    He did more than good against Joyce! And I’ll go out on a limb and say he stops Joshua late if or when they fight. It will be an accumulation of punches and Joshua tired out by the 8th round. Oleksandr’s movement will give him fits. Usyk will be bigger, stronger.. and even better than he is now. He will be even more comfortable than he is now at the pro level.

    I think Usyk will have problem with big guys, in CW he is often more than his opponents. In HW he may not have enough punching power especially with AJ, Wilder.

    How about Povetkin he has a good chin, punch, stamina and he is fast enough for Wilder.

    Uysk would give most HWS a good fight but imo AJ knocks him out when he realises uysk doesnt have the power to stop him, wilder and uysk is 50/50 but can see wilder landing a right hand bomb and getting him out of their. Besides them two uysk can be a favourite against any other active fighter

    Povetkin was exposed against Rudenko, without his power pellets he is just a plodder with no power. When he is on the stuff he is a formidable HW, but had that fight happened with Wilder a couple years ago I think Wilder would have stopped him behind the jab.

    When I saw how Wachs jab was causing him issues I realised this guy is too small and slow for the big men at HW.

    Povetkin would have knocked Wilder out! Ortiz was framed, Conte proved it and he knows what he is talking about! Check out his proof on youtube. The doctor proved it also. Anyone who is a threat to Wilder will be framed. Next up for Wilder, another wino from the alley! Wilder had had 5 voluntary title defenses in a row against winos, his 6th will be another Voluntary title defense against another wino from the alley. The WBC will see to that. Why did the WBC make Stiverne mandatory when he did nothing to get that ranking?!

    Usyk is already much better than Hughie, not only is he a far superior boxer but he punches harder than Hughie as well!!

    Wilder would not be able to hit Usyk, he's just too fast for him. He will move up in time, at least he plans to.............
