    Don't get me wrong, Its obvious he is a great fighter,,,,, it's simply how many on ESB that I have read claiming he is a shoe in for the c-weight title as well as a heavy weight champ down the line :think

    maybe I am nitpicking ?

    I expect him to be good, I don't know about heavy weight.

    I think its his power? Its good but just hasn't impressed me as much as other Eastern European dudes :bbb

    Denis lebedev beats him. And I don't think he will be he champ either.

    But he is very skillful for a big man. Very inpressive

    He is the new and improved version of Chris Byrd. When you think of EE fighters, you expect brutal power, not incredible skills.That might be why you're not sold on him. Usyk defeated big guys, he defeated powerful guys, he defeated slick fighters. He has great chin on top of all the incedible skills he has. Wlad, Povetkin, Wilder, Fury, Pulev are the only guys that can beat him right now.

    He beats Lebedev now handily...Huck and Drozd would be good fights, hard to predict who would win them...dunno about YPH. YPH could 12-0 him or else get KO'd easily by Usyk.

    He needs more experience but he's a great boxer, quick hands, decent power and great footwork.

    K2 want to match Holyfield and win CW title by Usyk's 12th fight.

    He's WBO #3 now, won't take long before he takes on Huck.

    Usyk is decent but getting badly overhyped, he will probably win a belt in the weak CW division but he would get torn apart at HW

    The CW division isn't weak at all just doesn't contain any decent yank and only a ****poor fighter tony bellew for the Brits.
    So fans call it poor.

    Lebedev is better than Huck and drozd u clown.

    Guaranteed if drozd fights lebedev he gets knocked out.

    Top Russians never fight each other. That needs to change.

    I disagree. If anything he's not hyped enough.

    Afolabi is much better than Bellew, he's nothing special but still ran the top dog at CW very close 3 times. CW is not a top division
