    Bryant Jennings has 84" reach, he's ripped as **** @ 230lbs, a fair bit bigger than the other guys listed naturally.

    The other guys are small heavyweights and when they lose to the giants they can still go home and try to claim bs p4p victory.

    Heavy is not that crowded and Usyk is not that big, sure they can fit him in.

    There is, but I'm not sure he can get through the Bronze Bomber.

    Ain't no one can get through the Bronze Bomber. Too good, too much power, too gifted.

    Usyk might be knocked cold after 1 right hand :deal

    And I love Usyk!!

    There plenty of room for an overrated taco vender crusher at heavy. Maybe he can face Pedro Rodriguez again or maybe top 10 contender Marc De Mori.

    I see a lot of dudes here dont know he had plenty of super heavyweight fights as amateur and schooled those SHW fighters, he aint small at all anyone his size at HW he would beat, WIlder on level vs Szpilka would lose to Usyk for sure...

    Usyk schooling the much bigger 2 x SHW world amateur champion, SHW Olympic bronze medalist, & SHW European champion Magomedrasul Medzhidov.

    Medzhidov's partial record

    http://www.boxing-scoop.com/show_boxer.php?boxer_ID=16191

    [YT]nzVOygKI_wg[/YT]

    This is what Medzhidov did to Vitali Klitschko's nephew Ivan Dychko in the world amateur championships (with pillows on). Dychko is a 2 x world amateur silver medalist + 1 x bronze, and an Olympic bronze medalist (he lost in the semis to Anthony Joshua by 2 pts) all up at SHW and he had never been off his feet in his life and was known in amateur boxing circles to possess a mandible section forged out of pure titanium, much like his uncle Vitali.

    His partial amateur record

    Usyk against the 6'5'' world amateur and European bronze SHW medalist, Commonwealth Games Gold medalist Joe Joyce.

    Here's Brechlin lasting the distance against world amateur youth gold medalist and European senior gold medalist and WSB champion Filip Hrgovic.

    [YT]gsFDRHSvTjs[/YT]

    Hirgovic is a serious talent and a future pro HW champion IMO and he's a big puncher too.

    Here he is stopping 2 Cubans in the WSB

    Uysk schooling the heir apparent to the HW division Joseph Parker.

    Most of these guys are much, much bigger and heavier than Usyk.

    There is is a reason why pros aren't allowed in the amateurs. That is all

    And there's a reason why Usyk was able to beat all those much larger and heavier SHWs who fight with a very pro style and beat some of them with utter ease too.

    And here's that big Italian fella Matteo Modugno's Boxrec page. He turned pro in 2010 and fought Usyk in April 2013, 7 months before Usyk made his pro debut.

    Sure Usyk beat those guys, but he obviously lost the fight with his barber.

    He will dominate heavyweight. Now, cruiserweight is a different story. From what I'm seeing of Usyk and the division, I don't think he'll be able to become lineal there. Just too many styles and talents. I say he should fight Glowacki and then move up.

    Usyk might make top 10 but for sure he ain winning no belts. He's older than Fury with half the size, skill or talent.

    Didn't know Usyk defeated those guys :think

    Not bad at all, they're really much bigger than him and pack some punch

    Modugno is ****, tho. Like, total ****. He doesn't have power nor skills, he's a walking heavy bad.

    He's just waiting for his payday, that's why he avoided Chisora after scheduling

    I don't know much about Modugno to be honest. He displayed good power when he flattened big punching 9 x Irish amateur champion (at various different levels) Sean ''Big Sexy'' Turner though.

    Usyk ( 6'3 78" reach ) is taller than Povetkin with better speed and skills. Honest. Heck yes there is a place for him. By the way Usky spared with excellent super heavies and bettered them.

    Tough as nails, with pound for pound skills. And he's a southpaw.

    I'd pick him over Wilder and Martin right now.

    Fury, that dpends on how good or bad his chin really is.
