I would have him fighting Gerald Washington in January !!! See how usyk does against a tall super heavyweight !!! Is usyk v Washington a fair test for usyk while everybody is fighting everybody else ???
Put him in with someone who matters, he’s fought at heavy before and feeding him bums does nothing we know he’s got the goods, we saw that at cruiser
I would avoid Fury and Wilder unless the money was very serious. Fury is the tougher of the two for him, but these are uphill fights. Everyone else he can beat. I'd have him go straight for the Ruiz v. Joshua winner. Ruiz's blubber ass gets boxed off. Once he has Andy's titles he'll be the shot caller and heavyweight and really leverage the right kind of fights for himself. Joshua is more dangerous but clearly a mental midget with conditioning problems. However, Joshua for all the titles is a lot of money. If Joshua beats Ruiz.....then Usyk has to get to him before Wilder or Fury do. Cause those two guys will finish Joshua (hard and fast) and getting those titles from them is much harder.
I would avoid the dangerous guys like the top 5... Chisors Parker Takam Kownacki would tell us more The top 5 would do more than just mark up his face, they would break bone and shatter jaws
Stay away from the super heavys. Till you cash out with one of them. Which means targeting guys decent not far from his weight. I think he,ll struggle against chisora, parker, whyte and povetkin. They,ll be tough fights for usyk. Guys just outside that level. Could be a banana skin and ruin his chance at the big guys.
No, he doesn't have time left in his career to **** around. He needs to fight champs and get a belt, do like Holyfield. Besides, the trick for a smaller guy at heavyweight isn't to fight other small heavyweights. You fight a super heavyweight who has no skills and make him look silly. He needs to find a Lance Whitaker, a Nikolai Valuev, a Michael Grant. Cruisers like Chris Byrd, Tomasz Adamek, and David Haye made big names for themselves becoming giant killers.
Cash out...retire to your wheat farm with your family. I hold no high hopes for Usyk at heavyweight. If he loses to a contender I won't be shocked, if he becomes undisputed champ that's overachieving IMO and good on him.
Joesph Parker. A former champ and a name. Miller. Long as his fat ass stays off the peds. After one of these two put him in against a champ. See how it goes. He’s not getting any younger
It's a real shame Takam's team wasn't keen to let the fight happen without a big payday. I understand why and don't blame them, but it would have been a much more interesting fight and we'd have a lot more answers right now
