Oh wow. As a major Usyk fan, if those bombs landed on Usyk's jaw, could that happen to him too?

    I never said he would beat Usyk, I stated a hypothetical - If he landed big on Usyk, what would happen?!

    He'd rock Usyl in that case, but not take him out. KD at best - remember Usyk has been in with some big boys.

    Bellew low blowed and then sucker punched him.

    BJ was naive to let his guard down but could be knocked down by a host of fighters if hhe let them punch him n the halls and then follow up with a free couple of shots.

    Huck would be a harder stylistic match up than Lebedev for Usyk IMO.

    So sick of Usyk massive overrated nature. He's unproven in pro ranks, overrated in amateur ranks. Usyk/Bellew 50/50. Usyk any top 5 hw 20/80. Just too small and unpowerful.

    usyk, briedis, huck, lebedev, drozd, glowacki, gassiev, and dorticos all make easy work of bellew.

    Pure boxers seem to struggle with agressive caveman styles more than they do with boxer-punchers, like Floyd against Maidana or Ward against Sakio Bika(who gave him more problems than Froch and maybe even Kessler). Huck's unpredictable, unorthodox, dirty fighting style might be harder to adjust to for Usyk whereas he should be able to figure out Lebedev after a couple of hard rounds.

    Huck is still one of the top Dawgs in the division. I'd rank Huck over Lebedev right now.

    I think Lebedev is the current #1 cruiser right now but yeah, Huck is still game. He's rebounded from his loss well and has a nice fight scheduled against Dmytro Kucher next month.

    :aplastao::aplastao::aplastao: with 400 wins as amateur... I think thats enough to be proven. Usyk/Bellew is more like 99.9/0.01 , I think the only fighters that could fight 50/50 with him are Lebedev, Huck and Briedis. Pretty soon everyone will forget about this clown Bellew that wants to cash out against Haye.

    I thought Lebedev was fighting Gassiev next? Did they switch the opponent?
