    Ward points. Usyk wouldn't do **** with his movement nullified. Bellew outboxing Usyk to end up ahead on the cards after 7 rounds says it all. Slow starter or not, you don't have to give away rounds if you're supposedly so much better skill wise that people consider you a p4p great.

    Too big and skilled for Ward.

    Still keep seeing him outboxed easily outboxed by Kovalev in that first fight (and 4rds of the rematch till he got tired) and i can't imagine how he doesnt anything with a bigger and more skilled Usyk

    Usyk stops him in 8.

    Usyk is too big, too strong, too quick and overall a much better fighter.

    Ward did mention that he wanted to fight at heavyweight so why not fight Usyk.

    I’m sure Usyk would get knocked down by Darnell Boone and outboxed for a complete 12 rounds by Kovalev.

    Let's justify the ball attack before considering this fight.

    1) Judges cards are not a reliable narrative of what is happening.
    2) Kovalev out boxed Ward, so...

    I'll take Usyk at CW in this fight. Would be a real technical fight though. Two of the best ever in their respective divisions

    Usyk is better than Ward in every way he'd destroy him. Ward has talked about moving to Cruiserweight and Heavyweight numerous times so if declines this challenge it's a clear duck.

    Ward would get killed. He would get hit more often then he ever has and from angles he’s never dealt with.

    Usyk is better in every way.

    I felt Kovalev like most one the first fight and the only thing that made it competitive was Kovalev’s gas tank. Usyk, while he doesn’t punch as hard has a tremendous engine and I see him winning pretty wide on points. 9-3
