    Usyk is going to get in the way of AJ which means the Brits will soon start hating on Usyk.

    Usyk already fought super heavyweights in the WSB, and looked impressive, just watch his bout against the 240 lbs Medzhidov.

    Yes of course--if he gets it in gear. He is already almost 29 and does not even appear to be close to a crusierweight shot.

    He's capable of beating Pulev, Takam, Jennings, Glazkov, Teper, both Fury's, AJ, and Deontay right now.

    I know he did that's what leads me to believe he might be even better suited to HW than CW. Taking on huge punching super HWs over 12 rounds with proper gloves on will be more tricky than the 5 he did in the WSB. He has the talent and ability to so though, IMO.

    I think he'd be 50/50 with Pulev, Wilder and Fury, Joshua, 40/60 with Povetkin. I'd bet on anything he beats the rest.

    Another note about his amateur career, I think big SHWs was easier for him from what I've seen. Beterbiev and Russo gave him the hardest time. Medhzidov who was considered to be best amateur HW was completely outclassed, 6'7 250 lbs Modugno who had a 12-0 pro record was demolished. Against Joyce, he showed he can not only outbox big guys but he can even outpower them. I wouldn't hesitate moving up if I were him.

    To be fair to Usyk's hair, that's the traditional hair of his people the Cossacks. He's not trying to be trendy or anything.

    Usyk whooped Joseph Parker in the WSB too. Parker along with Anthony Joshua is widely considered the heir apparent to the HW division when Wlad K retires and a can't-miss future world champion.
