    I've repopulated the whole thread so a new poll could be added reflecting the postponement date, while preserving the data from the original. :thumbsup:

    Just reviewed Usyk-Witherspoon. Ok, Chazz ain't Tim, but he's a big HW. Usyk's advantages are handspeed, footwork, headmovement and being an awkward southpaw. He has WAY faster hands than anyone in the division. Can he be KO'd? Sure, any HW can pop you; just ask Dillian Whyte about that point.

    Usyk can outspeed, out punch, out move any HW out there...but it only takes on big shot from a HW to change the conclusion.

    I think he brings a lot to the table and wish him luck.

    I am think likely a points win for Usyk, but I'm not ruling out Chisora.

    I would love to see Usyk get KO'd, personally, to prove that unless you're proven at this level you don't deserve a god damn title shot simply for being proven at another weight.

    I don't have anything against Usyk, I think he's a great boxer, but part of me hopes him losing to chisora would send a message to all those who think he's already a top 5-6 proven heavyweight deserving of a shot at AJ already without being proven at this level.

    However, if Usyk does win, he needs to win comfortably, or else it will also prove he's not ready for a shot.

    Beating Chisora wont really prove much. If he gets knocked down and gets back up, it will prove he can take a hit at this level.

    Look mate ... It's easy it will look just like the gassiev fight. Wait no. It will be way easier than that fight .... If chisora makes it competitive and makes it a close fight or if chisora stops usyk the way he did takam. Then i will be the first to say i overated usyk

    If Chisora wins it's in the form of an upset stoppage that will go down in history.

    He's coming straight at Usyk

    Usyk going to have to dance around him for 6/7 rounds. Don't set for a moment.

    Then he only has to watch out for Chisora's overhand right...

    Basically going to do what Fury did to him but as a smaller man who won't wrestle or clinch much.

    Chisora needs to get Fury in camp and tell him to fight small and not be physical at all.

    Chisora will only have about a 20 pound weight advantage.

    This will be a lesson for all those puny cruiserweights to stay in their division before they get seriously hurt against these huge overweight behemoths. Chisora wins by freak KO, when he throws the scrawny Usyk into the ring corner Clubber Lang style and beats the hell out of him! Lol

    Usyk can handle himself in a boxing ring. Bet he handled Povetkin sparring and old man Povetkin just sparked Whyte. I think Usyk would outbox Whyte no problem also.

    fighters who rely on size and brute force HATE pure boxers. It's the worst feeling in the world getting your face boxed off by a slick man.

    I'll tell everyone right now the only man Fury is wary of in boxing is probably Usyk. Skills pay the bills.

    I don't think Fury would have much issue with Usyk. Usyk was getting hammered early in the fight by Bellew because of Bellews speed.

    If Bellew can cause him those problems, then Fury definitely can. Bellew gassed out due to his age later in the fight and lost.

    I don't see anything other than a Fury win vs Usyk. Usyk has literally nothing over Fury.

    Usyk too fast, too skilled, too beautiful, too Kurgan.

    I predict a late KO win for him. I think Chisora comes on strong in rounds 1-3 and Usyk may find himself in some bother. But as the fight settles down he'll dissect Chisora and start taking him apart.
