    Couldn't agree more. Guys like Zhang Zhilei, Glazkov or even a very green Joshua(admittedly he shouldn't have got past the 1st round in the first place) wouldn't get aywhere near the semi finals in that olympic team. And luckily, we'll get to see all 4 of them in the pros.

    Ok bud! :thumbsup: You go ahead and continue to think your boy is untouchable with his 17 fights against C-level competition and GIFT Gold Medal! I'll keep my opinion Usyk is more skilled, smarter and faster than he is and will box him up by the time they meet :)

    Cool?? Great :thumbsup: Oh and also Usyk won't be the one looking to recover from getting knocked out on the 29th ;) Enjoy the fight

    This is all you have to offer when you get owned. Usyk just isn't that good. Answer the man's question and stop trying to save face. What heavyweights doe

    HW is the money division. If Usyk thought he was good enough he'd be up there already.

    He'll be a career long Cruiser.

    Well that's reasonable! But certain idiots on here completely dismissing Usyk's chances at HW... well nevermind. It's not even worth getting into ;)

    Usyk will and already has proved those turds wrong :D He'll continue to rile them up.

    Even guys like breidis and gassiev could do okay at hw and they are less skilled.

    I rate them better than szpilka for example, and if they trained for it they would be 215-220lbs enough speed and movement to beat the majority of heavies. But not of all of them.

    huck gave povetkin one hell of a fight, and povetkin is a top 5 hw. a pretty old cunningham beat glaskov (robbed) and mansour. you get big heavies like maruisz wach who wouldnt land a punch on uysk, same goes for the american football players like breazeale and martin.
    A prime delboy would be a hard fight for a cruiserweight, he keeps coming, and coming, but he doesnt finish anyone off. whyte is a tough brawler with no real skill, easily outpointed. Pulev is a decent fighter, but slow and one geared! Takam would be a decent test for anyone coming up.
    These are gatekeepers/former contenders... hardly a murders row.

    Usyk is still young enough to improve even more. Has a damn good coach in Loma's dad too.

    I think all 3 of them would become top10 HWs if they moved up today, Usyk, Gassiev and Briedis. Hard to think otherwise after taking a look at the HW top10 on TNRB, Ring and ESPN.

    Im ALWAYS ahead bc i know my boxing! let me know when Usyk the HW conquerer gets a top 20 spot.....i'll be waiting...AWHILE i think. Usyk vs Joshua???lol...that will never happen unless somehow Usyk goes the Hughie fury route and even then odds are IT wont bc Usyk wouldnt make a good effective HW as he does a CW which he still hasnt been fighting top level and will take 3 more years to master his own weight class..
