If Usyk does not TKO Takam then he is the most overrated HW ever.

Tyson Fury didn't stop Pianeta, Seferi is he overrated?

 

It took Ali 15 rounds to stop Wepner, and now we have that damn statue in Philly.
Just saying.

 

Certain styles could cause Usyk to struggle , Takam could be one but I don't think Usyk will come close to losing. People are once again forgetting it's boxing , it's not called Knock outs.

Takam is probably past his peak at this point and defeating Usyk will require pressing him 12 rounds bc Takam isn't a power puncher , he does have decent body punching.

 

This thread is trash. Please delete your account. The headline is a typical clickbait headline.

 

Usyk is a smaller guy coming up in weight to fight a bigger man. And he's not some kind of seek and destroy puncher. I wouldn't be shocked at all if he didn't knock out Takam, Takam is a pretty tough guy, his (real) stoppages were against Povetkin, a decent hitter and Chisora. Both guys are large. Even Joshua and his vaunted power couldn't put away Takam. A dominating win by Usyk would have the same effect.

 

The problem with being the smaller guy is you need respectable power to be successful to make up for any size disadvantage. If he can't put away Takam who is a relatively small heavyweight then it's a bad sign for when he faces the bigger guys.

 

Byrd had no power at all and grabbed a belt. I think Usyk while not a puncher can probably get anyone's respect. Maybe not knock guys out but get their respect, definitely. Takam is a defensively capable guy, I think if Usyk looks good against him, I think it's a statement even without the ko.

 

I quite disagree with you.Saitov was probably one of the best boxers of all times.Feather-fisted but almost impossible to beat.A true master of the sweet science.Usyk is no brutal ko puncher .Nevertheless he is a threath to any present heavy.

 

The difference is Byrd was more elusive in terms of head movement while Usyk relies more on the high guard and footwork. This becomes more difficult when there is a significant reach gap. This is about Usyk's prospects in beating the top 3. I think in the heavyweights you either need power or a significant length advantage. Speed is also important when undersized.

 

way overrated.

 

When Usyk comes in at a roided 250+ pounds as is the HW norm these days, Takem won't last 3 rounds..

 

I agree with the point, but he was coming back from the brink of suicide

 

I think Usyk will win by stoppage.

 

He is prob most overrated HW ever and not because he couldn’t stop those bums, because his best win is over ancient shot wlad and his second best “win” is a draw with wilder.

 

Literally everything that you said is gibberish.

In any event, no. A win is a win.

Kindly **** off back to where you came from.
