    He's the same height if not a bit taller than Povetkin.

    Bad joke, you don`t think some boxers are more skilled than other boxers then? The heavyweight division right now doesn`t have many well-schooled boxers around at all.

    I’m being deadly serious Mark. No, all boxers are the same skill set I’ve noticed, some just bigger

    Chisora is sparring former opponent Senad Gashi whose movement caused him problems in their fight

    Dave Allen says he's going to be heading off to spar Usyk and then Povetkin

    This content is protected


    Speaking of Sasha Povetkin

    Richard Towers said that Sasha broke two of his ribs within the first 30 seconds of their spar when he sparred him years ago

    And Kalle on Povetkin in this podcast (Sasha was his first fighter). Says he's a great guy and that they still get on well even though they went their separate ways after the Wlad fight and he shares one amusing story about Sasha having a bare knuckle scrap with a MMA fighter in the gym just 3 or 4 weeks after he fought Wlad. :lol:

    Snippet here

    Full interview here. Kalle on Povetkin starts around the 52 minute mark

    I don't know where this comes from, but it is just plain wrong. Usyk has already beaten Joyce and Majidov in pro-style fights, and bested Briedis, Hunter, and Huck, who have all done heavyweight with fair success. He will win every round against Chisora. At 6'3", he will fill out as much as he is comfortable with, and go on to bigger things.

    The answer to the question is, he will beat Dubois for the title, defend against Parker, then make the obligatory big money out-there type fight against someone like Haye, then retire unbeaten.

    Yes how the hell is Hunter being rated above Usyk doesn`t make any sense at all.

    At HW it kind of makes sense until Usyk achieves more at the weight. At HW Hunter has beaten Bakole, Kuzmin, Ustinov and drawn with Povetkin. Usyk only has the win over Charles Witherspoon and a long period of inactivity.

    Not that much he had bested, he just landed some 20 jabs on him more than blows he had recieved + clearly lost 12 th round to Briedis.
    Usyk is from larger country than Briedis, better marketable, therefore he of course had bested and cleaned. Without rematches etc.
    Of course fans love to see fights from their prefrence not reality. Guys like Glowacki and Briedis are too small for modern HW.
    Yes, they might beat not less hard than HW guys, still they are too small.
    Usyk is good but I think he might beat Chisora, Dubois, Parker. These also are less mobile than the same Briedis if he is in good shape.
    Fury and A.J looks that are too large for him.

    Best Usyk win was clear UD vs guy that humilitated and finished Dorticos in WBSS semi final.;)
    Usyk defeated this guy considerably more impressive than in his fight vs Briedis in semi final.

    Chisora has a puncher's chance against Usyk who will dance around him all night. That being said, this David Haye trained Chisora is by far the best shape Chisora we've ever seen and he's in much better shape and condition than the fat lazy Don Charles trained one.

    Maybe the weight difference between the two fighters will be less than expected then.

    Fury’s not going anywhere near usyk , his daddy wallin spanked him once and would do it again and you don’t have to think twice to comprehend what Usyk would do to Fury’s daddy.

    Fury sure won`t hit Usyk as much as he hit Wallin, he seems to have a problem with southpaws which is basd news if he ever fights Usyk.
