    I opened a very similar thread a few months ago. It could be very interesting and unpredictible fight.
    But, I think it is still too early. I would like see this fight in 2018-2019. Everything would be possible.

    Superior skills vs superior size, it's an interesting match up. The more I watch of Usyk the more I like of him, he controls range really well, his shots are hard to read and his movement is good which is a rarity at heavyweight these days.

    Usyk will definitely need to make adjustments for Joshua's size though. But I couldn't really call a winner now, too many unanswered questions about them both.

    Joshua easy KO. If Usyk thought he could hang with the big boys, he wouldn't be hiding out at Cruiser making peanuts against journeymen.

    You're insane, hiding? Really? Cruiserweight is a far more solid and deep division than Heavyweight is, newsflash just because Fury feinted his way to a title win over a timid Wlad that doesn't mean the division is all of a sudden the bees knees, its still just as bad as it was before. I'll take solid agile well rounded technically sound KO artists over a bunch of skill less muscle bound dunderheads any day of the week, you really sound ignorant (frequently) for a guy with the audacity to call himself IKSAB.

    It says in the title. They fought at 91 kg(200 lbs) Usyk winning was a huge upset

    Oh. Duh. lol. I just played the video right away without reading the title. Why don't you think Beterbiev is fighting at cruiserweight like Usyk? You think cuz its more stacked for him?
